Instead of powdered sugar they use this clear syrup! A nice little Japanese-type breakfast. One of the psychologists showed me a little bakery run by a Paris-trained Okinawan chef. It’s called the “Maybe Bakery” because the guy wasn’t sure if he wanted to be a cafe or a bakery Hot canned coffee from a vending […]

Japanukkah
As Hanukkah kicked off with a flicker (and hopefully a badass party involving Costco-sized jugs of Manischewitz) on Dec. 8, I found myself in what has been described variously as the Florida, Hawaii, Nebraska, and Alabama of Japan.

Apparently there is also a serial arsonist lurking about who may be […]
The Homestead

Someone must have gotten the wrong kind of sticker and used it anyway for the hell of it. Hope you can read backwards, people who need an automatic door! Then again, the rest stop made up for it with one of the nicest travel picnic areas I’ve ever seen.
