Tokyo subway ads

When competing for eyeballs in the world's busiest subway system, you have to get a little creative.

The "tunnel movie" approach is absolutely amazing. I've yet to see it in person, but that might change this Fall.

Here's the Greek restaurant in my old 'hood that I want to try: Kokkari
Canteen

This is the little place we walked by yesterday. Sounds like it's a cozy place with yuppie American food.

Things to do.

I've decided that this blog would also be a good place to track ideas for things to do in our free time, including restaurant reviews, museum exhibits, movies, etc. I will try to label the posts accordingly.

empathic jurassic

I think I mentioned Pleo in conversation a few days ago. I have to admit, its motions are light years beyond what I've seen in other consumer robots, but they still have a jerkiness that leaves me with a disappointing impression of "machine-ness." I suppose I'll have to see one in person.

EDIT - OK, I searched for "pleo" on YouTube and found some videos that are downright adorable. I stand happily corrected. :)
