WDM, quick follow-up question - do you ever purchase bootleg VCD's of bittorrented American food shows?
I just bit torrent shows for free. I don't think anyone sells VCDs in Japan anyway.
We have some of the same guilty pleasures! For you, Staten Island should have been changed to Odaiba.
SC -
We like the same junk foods and have the same build... coincidence?
I would go to Odaiba to eat buffet style mexican, although it would surely be about $30 in Japan.
