I know Pigs can't fly, but Flying Sushi?

So here in Japan, in a dark back street just a minute away from JR Shimbashi station, you can find a place run by an 80-year-old man who likes to throw his sushi in the air... Why throw you ask? Apparantly it will make the sushi taste greater! So by taking the sushi chef to another location, such as the gymnasium, they revealed that he has the ability to throw it nearly 4 meters into the air as well as tasting good! Well let's drool at this video! So anything willing to throw a block of wood in teh air next to your guest? I guess this needs the DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME! :P

Highlight at Train Stations? A sausage.

An interesting video showing the various people who buy sausages from a shop on a train station platform in Osaka where thousands of commuters pass through Kyobashi Station in Osaka every day. For 600 of them the singular highlight is a sausage.

Train Chimes Melody on the JR Line

For people who hasn't visited Japan, quite a lot of the train stations have their own melody of when a train is about to depart.  Just take a listen to these train stations' jingles... Do you have train jingles at your train station?
