McDonalds and More Porn

I went to McDonalds today and found it eerily comforting to know that no mater how far I stray from home, McDonalds is pretty much the exact same.

There are some additions and subtractions from the menu however. First, there is a teriyaki burger that we do not have in the US. Second, there is no Double Quarter Pounder. The Japanese version of a large is also somewhat misleading. Their large is the equivalent to the American medium size.

It was pretty painless to order, I know how to count in Japanese pretty well so order a #6 was pretty easy. That is the double cheeseburger. Unfortunately, I do not know how to say "no pickles or onions" yet so I had to scrape them off. No biggy.

Today has been kind of odd, I feel like I am being watched. I am pretty sure my picture was taken via cell phone cam at least once while I was eating, maybe twice. People have also been giving me very brief but scrutinizing stares today. When they see me looking, they quickly turn their head. Its kind of funny. Oh oh, I had my first little Japanese kid stare in horror as I walked toward her. It was like she was seeing Godzilla in real life; that was entertaining. Part of this could also be that I am wearing my urban camo pants, along with a black hoody and black sunglasses. Maybe I look menacing....dunno.

I went to a video game store today and that was fun. People over here really like soundtracks to anime and video games. There are aisles dedicated to them. And just to further illustrate the prevalence of pornography over here I will say that in both the bookstore and computer store, there are sections dedicated to naked chicks getting it on. There was also a section in the music store and the dvd store. In fact, in the computer store, it was actually playing on the tvs as you walked down the aisles. Its messed up to be looking at video games and seeing a couple of people having mad sex on tv out of the corner of your eye, all while your in public. Very odd indeed.
