How to “uchimizu”. From uchimizu.jp.

My grandmother does exactly the same back in Spain, she usually sprinkles water on the streets around our home. In Spain we [...]

Little fake Bruce Lee

Por kirai el 02 de August de 2007 en Otaku

I live next to Yoyogi park, the biggest park in Tokyo and also the funniest. It’s always full of “weird” people doing “weird” things, like for example me and Danny. Lately the is one guy who is every Sunday training with nunchakus, he is pretty good:

Real size dolls

Por kirai el 01 de May de 2007 en Otaku, Sex

The weirdest thing I’ve ever seen in Akihabara are used panties vending machines. But Dannychoo found something even more weird, a place where you can buy pretty realistic dolls with big boobs. If you want one of these “beautiful android women” it will cost you more than 500.000 yen. Usually these dolls are sold on [...]
