  1. Chris: “In rural Japan, you never know what you’re going to find around the next corner.” Me (true story): Last night, I’m driving home from a local event which happens to take place in the mountains in a rural area. (I live in Mie Prefecture in central Japan.) Anyway, I’m driving on a road I haven’t used before, and it’s dark and I’m getting a little bit nervous whether my ‘navi’ is sending me astray, and I come around a corner and there... looming up out of the darkness just ahead WAS A MASSIVE, HEADLESS WINGED FIGURE (Nike of Samothrace in fact). Like, 100m tall or something. So naturally (after my initial feeling of terror subsided) I thought of Chris’ recent ‘horror film’ with the creepy statutes in the dark. (And then I think, I wonder when his new video’s coming out. And here it is!) But yeah, rural Japan is quirky and awesome.

  2.  @cosmobane6995  It was dark. It was a winding mountain road. And...it might not have been QUITE 100 meters tall. 😆 I’d seen those giant statues (there are several) lots of times from the train as I passed through...but it was my first time to encounter them up close. If you’re interested, check it out online. The place is called: “Japon Louvre Sculpture Museum.”

  5. That’s been on my ‘must do’ list for ages. I hear Shikoku is paradise for cyclists, btw.
