  • Japan kinda seems like they’ve always had more appreciation for small cars

    I got a motorcycle and not a car purely because of the tight corners with stone walls and other insanity that is Tokyo street size.

    Kei cars were meant to wear the roads less, be more fuel efficient (we import a lot of the various fuels we use), etc.

    I actually am buying a farm in northern Japan and probably will end up buying a kei truck (though I’m debating buying a van instead, but money is super tight right now). Engine power and heating/AC are definitely factors to think about.




  • It oddly reminds me of something I had in Florence, Italy in the late '90s. I didn’t speak Italian more than enough to order food (though I could get by in French for the most part for the simple interactions I was doing), so I don’t know exactly what it was, but it looked like what is in that wiki. I grew up in Ohio but never had that style (which I think is more in the eastern part of the state).


  • Ohio Valley pizza is not what I thought it was. I grew up in Ohio and the only time I ate something that even reminds me of that was actually in Florence, Italy, oddly.

    I grew up on Central Ohio tiny-pepperoni’d, square-cut pizzas.

    Today, Detroit is probably my fave, followed by what is more-or-less a tie between NY and Chicago Deep Dish depending upon my mood. Ohio pizza still holds a place in my heart, but it’s definitely not in the top 3.
