Capsule Hotel

Check out the capsule hotel I stayed in on my latest trip to Japan. For about $40 you get access to a spa and tiny plastic coffin to sleep in. These things that look like a row of washing machines are the capsules.  They include a small TV and radio and are pretty comfortable to sleep in, as long as you are not claustrophobic. Uniquely Japan.

Politics

A presidential election is just around the corner in good old Korea. That means that the many political parties are hot on the campaign junket. I live on the 10th floor, but that didn’t stop this group from spreading their campaign slogans and catchy dance moves into my home. In fact, I’m sure that if my building had 50 floors, the people on the top floor would have heard all the cheesy songs too. Check out their cute animal hats. Makes their campaign look really professional.
