yesterday while walking around I saw several odd things. one of them was the hair salon from the last post. here are some of the others. when you walk into the mall in
Chatan, this baby in a... black pig suit(???) greets you. WHAT IS THIS? what's the meaning? what's the purpose? can children put coins in it and ride it? are pig suits popular for Okinawan babies, and are they sold inside this store? Do they bring out the scary pig-baby and wheel it around the mall to J-pop music during festivals?
I once mentioned the Pokemon car on the blog. what I haven't bothered to talk about is the bizarreness of cars in general here. it is very popular to decorate your car elaborately around a certain theme. I have taken a few example photos for your viewing pleasure. Please don't miss the jauntily tilted plate in this Okinawan's windshield saying
"give your heart to Jesus". 
Though you can't see it as well, this car was much worse. The theme is Hello Kitty. How do you like the ginormous crystal gear shift there? All the seats are Hello Kitty in leather. The backseat is decked out with seat-matching Hello Kitty pillows and a blanket. There is a Hello Kitty trash can in front of the driver. etc.
Last but not least, here is a funny
Engrish shirt that I witnessed outside
Sbux. Man, I wish it were still loved by people.
