Ahhh… i totally forgot about it until you brought it up. Wishing you all the best mate, smash that bucket of bird and all the best wishes! (Get on Splatoon).
 
Good to be reintroduced to you, sir!

You might not be the only guy on the forum eating KFC tonight! 😆😆😆
 
For those who don’t know; KFC on Christmas is a quirky Japanese tradition that’s been around for the last 40 years. Essentially it’s the result of a legendary advertising campaign. People line up outside the stores on Christmas Eve. It’s funny as hell to me, so I participate 🙂
 
@Joko3 - I only clued on because while teaching in Japan, nearly EVERY student said "I'm eating KFC" when I asked them what their plans were for Christmas!

I love how all the stores have a statue of Colonel Sanders year round, but dress him as Santa on the lead up to Christmas :)
 
When I walked by the Akihabara location a few weeks ago there was no Santa there! It felt so wrong =(
バカ外人 probably stole it and took it home on the train ;) I remember a guy from my school took the Peko Chan statue from Fujiya in Nakano Broadway for a drunken walk :(
 
I suppose there’s worse things he could have done to Peko-chan….
 
Final order of the year shipped! Blast City versus kit : )

Aha, that makes sense! I thought it was one lot.

EDIT: wow, that kit looks really clean. Nice!
 
Could use some help from everyone. I am currently doing some homework about Buyee and their parent company, as well as other similar services. if anybody has return addresses for any of their warehouses, please forward them to me via private message. If you know somebody who uses Buyee regularly please ask them. I would like to check out their facilities. Thank you in advance!

The problem with Japanese people is that they always send everything so well packed and are honest about the items, that even tho I have ordered tens, if not hundred items over the years, I never had to return a thing :D
