A Japanese and Chinese Major

Archive for January, 2010

A Japanese newscaster reveals way too much for cable news.  Her cleavage is so astounding that even she seems to be distracted by it.  Can anyone explain how this sort of thing could be tolerated on-air?

A-Bar Review: My friend and I went to this bar the day after New Year’s so there wasn’t a lot of people but the atmosphere was still nice.  Lived up to most of the Internet reviews, the food was amazingly cheap and not too bad (the fish in the fish and chips was a little too real for our American tastes), and the tables were long and communal like, with the center table being the longest and about 5 or so tables on the sides.  Because of that it’s easy for people to come right in and start a conversation with you, which happened to us.   Plenty of signs in there saying buy a drink or get the F*** out.  The waiter likes to open bottles.

Here’s a sample of the menu:
