His moves were OK, his enthusiasm was spot on, my only suggestion would be a less revealling pair of [...]

Nihonshu 日本酒, or sake as most people know it, is found in most bars and restaurants in Japan.
I generally lean towards atsukan 熱燗 which is hot sake but last night at Sushi in Shibuya I went for the cold stuff, served in a masu which is a wooden, box-like cup.
Whenever it’s served in a masu [...]

The ultimate in iPhone cases would have to be the Factron Quattro as seen on Engadget Japan.
Not only is it built from Aluminium and bolted together with metals screws it comes with a range of bolt on lenses from a fish eye to wide angle and macro.
It looks very well built but i can`t help [...]

I’ve had cause recently to pick up a new laptop. I didn’t want to go to the expense of buying a hamburger with the lot and truth be told, i don’t need that level of computing at the moment anyway.
