Hello everyone, just a mash up of a few funny, interesting oddities while out riding this past weekend! I had to stop and get a pic of this guys car. I am sure back home it would just be asking for a pullover, but I suppose here the meaning is lost on the police! Definitely a rebel tho, and reminded me of my own car back in high school, and the many many tickets I received while driving it!
Saw this in Kyoto but couldn't get a very good picture of it. It was a huge Buddhist swastika carved into hedges on the mountainside. I understand it can be confused with the infamous Nazi icon, however in Asia it is usually depicted the opposite direction and means only good things like wellness and happiness!
Hehe, just had to take a quick snapshot of this manga in a local shop. Pretty sure this wouldn't fly in Canada! I found it hilarious to see two over the top schoolgirls flipping the bird..
I'll try and keep posting things I find culturally shocking as I make my way around Honshu on my bike! Thanks for reading.
