      New Fridge vs. Old Fridge...
  It was time for a new fridge. I'd been living with a small, 106 liter fridge for a year now and while it might be okay for some girly-man, I myself needed more. You can see from the right picture how the old one only comes up to my bellybutton, disapointing.
Fast forward to now and you can see me standing beside my new, shoulder level, 225 liter fridge, big enough for a man and maybe even his girlfriend should she drop by. Anyway pretty excited about my fridge, maybe I'll even have a fridge party to celebrate! Good times are a'comin!

Mangoes!    
  I think I've mentioned before just how expensive fruit is here in Japan. I was wandering around this speciality food store when I happened across a sale on mangoes offering two of them for 1000 yen (about $10). You might gasp, but seeing how the original price was only one mango for 1000 yen I went ahead and bought two of the most amazing mangoes it has ever been my pleasure to eat. In India they say mangoes are the 'food of the gods' and I'm not about to argue. You can see how the peel slides effortlessly away from the firm yet juicy fruit. Worth it? Hell yes!

      Mike's Sangria!
  It's summer now and in Japan that means weather that is a cross between the humidity of the Amazon jungle and the heat of the Sahara desert. In other words you often get thirsty. Using my ingenuity, I went out and bought a nice pitcher, some lemons and oranges, grabbed a bottle of wine that was leftover from my houseparty, made some ice in my new fridge (see above) and whipped up a batch of Mike's Sangria. Good? Well like Han Solo said, 'You know, sometimes I amaze even myself'.
