Hah I got two replies to that. A friend of mind who lives down on Shikoku and wields knives and weapons and things said once you know the real scariest thing about Japan is the big wasps. "They will eat your eat your face. Forget about the bears it's wasps." Bless his heart he is an amazing guy and in our best mix of English and Japanese he said that I swear.

Second reply is this. Another friend. Pretty sure they are hell bent on recreating HBO's The Pacific. Super cool though and beats us forgone dogs (auto-correct but works) any day. This is just one of a ton he posts up constantly.

...The vending machine sprung out of the side of a hill, where the forest gave way to city.

And within this vending machine laid an arsenal of sugary, satiating beverages.

I chose a purple one.

There are few experiences in this life which I would describe as religious.

This purple drink was one of them.

It tasted like the souls of ten thousand unborn panda bears.

It tasted like someone stole the balls off a pegasus and blended them into a smoothie...
