Election Time

The excitement is not limited to the USA. We are having elections here on Okinawa too. Today I got to experience one of the most annoying candidate tactics that are used over here in Japan. The "Roving Speech Van". That`s right, the candidate drives around in a van spewing LOUD messages out of it`s speaker system. And it gets even better! The van frequently parks outside of large apartment buildings like ours and proceeds to address the residents of said buildings with a little speech whilst standing on top of the van! Today`s speech happened at noon but yesterday the van came by at 7:30.....AM!!!!!! Tigerpapa tells me that it`s actually illegal for the politicians to do this but they do it anyway. I wonder who I can call to complain?


(You can see the van and the politician down there behind the abandoned bus (nice view eh?!).)

And here`s yesterdays obento:


(fried brown rice, sauteed chicken, cherry tomato, avocado with oyster soy sauce, orange, and cheese)

Have a lovely day.

Ja ne.
