Carlsberg Brewery
One of the great things about Copenhagen is you can ride a bike anywhere. There are no hills, and the streets have great bike lanes. The downside is when you get caught in a rain storm. I took today’s photo at the Carlsberg Brewery (in Frederiksberg) while waiting for the rain to let up. It didn’t, and I eventually had to head out through the storm. I got drenched, but it was still a good day.
Voodoo Doughnut Menu – Portland, Oregon
Next time you are in the mood for Vegan Cock-N-Balls or Triple Chocolate Penetration, this is the place to go to have your desires met. The menu prior to 2010 looked like this.
Spring training for the 2013 baseball season in both the USA and Japan begins in less than a month. I don’t have plans to see games this year in either country though. I do plan to see some professional baseball games in Korea this summer.
Today’s photo is a bit ironic. The sign says that watching the game while standing is prohibited. Everyone in this section of Chiba Marine Stadium stands during the entire half of the inning, though, except this little guy who was sitting, backwards, eating chips while watching fans instead of the game.
I am one
Who eats breakfast
Gazing at morning-glories
– Basho
I went to breakfast the other morning at Ashland‘s Morning Glory Restaurant and saw the above haiku painted on the wall. The original Japanese by Matsuo Basho (松尾芭蕉) was
朝顔に
我は飯食ふ
男かな
asagao ni
ware wa meshi ku
otoko kana
I don’t think I have noticed one of these before, but the Hotel Stratford in San Francisco on Powell Street has figured out a way to maximize its revenue by using its high-traffic location to advertise. It seems you can rent “billboard space” right on the side of their building.
It has been a while since I posted any China pics to this blog. Today my random, desktop image was this photo from the streets of Zhengzhou (郑州). I can’t speak Chinese, but I can read some of it (for meaning). Looks like the stand behind the oranges was selling tofu, and the store on the right is a liquor store.
My blog is blocked in China (as are all sites hosted on Godaddy) so I’m guessing you are viewing this from somewhere else in the world.
