Calpis, Sapporo and Asahi vending machines in Asakusa District, Tokyo, Japan

In Japan, everywhere on the streets, they have vending machines serving hot and cold drinks from the same machine, from Coca-Cola, coffee, tea, pancake syrup drinks and beer!

So you never short of a drink, anywhere you travel in Japan! (very handy if you have a Coca-Cola addiction!), and the umbrella I’m using was free, people leave them on buses and trains for the next person to pick and use. Now that’s Recycling! Very kind!

and that does say Calpis!

What’s in your camera? An Eye-Fi Wireless Memory Card?

Eye-Fi Wireless WiFi SD Memory Cards

Eye-Fi Wireless WiFi SD Memory Cards

I have a 2GB SD and 4GB SDHC Eye-Fi wireless memory card, if you have a digital camera (and don’t most people today?), and it takes SD, then why haven’t you got one. Transfers digital pictures off the camera automatically to your Laptop, iPad or can upload directly to the internet.

Must be the best Gadget ever!

Video coming soon, photographs straight from a Canon DSLR to iPad via WiFi.
