Bizzare Japanese TV Commercial
Japanese TV has some of the most elegant and bizarre commercials around. This one was for a hair replacement service. It was essentially nylon thread patched onto a persons head. The model is showing how versatile this can be. It was pretty weird.

Delayed in Narita
After stopping over in Sendai Airport for 5 hours it was back to Narita. Needless to say everyone missed their connecting flight. So, the poor onions were left to be shuffled off to the local hotel for some short shut-eye before attempting to complete their ventures the next day.
Lobby of the ultra-luxurious Airport Rest Hotel.
Welcome to Japan, Christmas style
Airport Rest House looks worse than it actually is. The rooms are clean and small but over all it was not bad.
No frills vending machine
Evening entertainment
Room with a view!

Side-tracked in Sendai
After making the trans-pacific flight to Japan, our plane was side-tracked to Sendai airport for minor repairs and refueling. Needless to say that the pilot is a good PR person. He thanked us for our patience and kept us informed that the repair crew was coming as soon as they can from Nagasaki airport. To keep the passengers amused while waiting, the crew put on "Mami-mia," the musical. The movie is so bad that it is amusing.

Japanese Markets, Outdoors, Indoors
Typical outdoor display of fresh fruits and vegetables for sale. In the past this is how most, if not all, produce was sold in Japan. Quite common to see on the streets.
Typical Japanese Supermarket. Food is fresh, well presented and the store is spotlessly clean.
