One Evening in Otaru, Japan

This clock has a weather signal underneath, which would be clever if it weren't situated underneath a transparent tunnel roof.

Fitness Instructor Chris and I find an alley full of undersized restaurants.


Tiny Korean restaurant with eight seats.

Patrons.

A whole fish and some type of kimchee soup that I would happily eat again.

This guy was crazy. Seven of the eight pictures I have of him are blurry because he wouldn't stop gesticulating.


At the end of the night, we found a bar where the dried squid was free, so we stayed. It was very important to the bartender that we be fans of Eric Clapton's later recordings.

Guess what's on the TV over to the left? One of Eric Clapton's concerts in the '90's.

The walk home.
