The world has gone completely mad.

Is this really what or elected leaders spend their time on?

Sugamo and Red Underpants

I've added here a few photos that I've taken recently. Mainly these were taken in a place called Sugamo, a small suburb in northern Tokyo most famous for its Shotengai (shopping strip).

As in Australia, local street shopping strips have been slowly disappearing in Japan and are being replaced by large shopping centres. Sugamo has tried to combat this by creating its own character (a duck called Sugamon) and by promoting its monopoly on the sale of lucky red underpants. The fourth photo down shows the shopfront.

I no longer try to explain things in Japan. I just report them.
