Has it really been over 9 months since I last blogged? I could have had a baby in that time! Every now and then, I'll play catch-up because there have been a few days of interest since December. Why am I getting back to the blogosphere? Duh, Countdown to Halloween is coming up.
Recently, there have been a few unusual vending machines cropping up, for example, Godzilla! (If you're wondering about the title of this post...自販機 (Jihanki) is Japanese for Vending Machine. Jinkies means Jinkies!)
I saw my first one outside a Mandai in Tagajo. It was on its lonesome, so it was easy to eyeball the side pictures as well.
The same cannot be said for the next one I saw, outside a Mandai in Natori.
It wasn't as easy to see its sides for it was smushed in the middle of many machines.
I then saw my third one outside the Mandai in Izumi. I'm beginning to sense a pattern.
I figured that was it, yet much to my surprise, there was another adjacent to the neighbouring UFO Catcher!
Since I was at the UFO Catcher anyway, I managed to win a pair of Lobster Sandals in one try!
This post has been sponsored by Coca Cola because there just happened to be a nearby Coke Vending Machine with Star Wars labels!
I bought one from there and got a few more at the supermarket at a third the price.
I only bought Cola Zero because I'd rather have carcinogens than calories.
I'm attending the Jozenji Jazz Fest tomorrow (it was drizzling all day, so I skipped today), so if I come across any interesting Jihanki, I'll revise this post.
Speaking of which, a friend who is touring around Hokkaido notice this machine that offers Nappies for Kiddies. Good idea, I wonder if they have adult sizes too? Those long drives can be murder!
Tomorrow...some hijinx at the Festival I hope!
