Tokyo Auto Car-Wash Sucks

Had my car washed the other day at Tokyo Auto Car-Wash in Nakano. Got the works: a wash, steam cleaning of the underside, window coating, and body coating. It wasn't cheap. And when I got home, I realized these dumb-asses forgot to wax both tires on the left side. Not only that, they scratched a wheel. How do I know? Because I always clean them myself. By hand. When I returned to complain, they said they'd wax the tires, and denied scratching the wheel. Like I'm dumb enough to let these guys touch my car again? I didn't let them do the tires, and demanded they do something about the wheel. They again denied it, and refused to do anything besides wipe it off. Not sure how many of you reading this live in Tokyo and have a car. But if you do, do yourself a favor and avoid Tokyo Auto Car-Wash. They suck. And their work is totally not worth the money.

東京AUTO洗車. You suck.
And what's with your name?! Very original dumb-asses.

Kawazu Cherry Blossoms

Kawazu cherry blossoms bloom about two months earlier than the more popular Somei Yoshino cherry blossoms. And they stay in bloom for up to a month, rather than about a week or so for Somei Yoshino. Here are some pics from the annual Kawazu Sakura Festival, held in the small town of Kawazu in the Izu Peninsula. We were there earlier this week and they just started to bloom. I imagine they'll be in full bloom at the end of the month.

Snow!

Made this last Friday night. We got a pretty good amount of snow in Tokyo, it came down hard for 5 or 6 hours. Unfortunately though, it didn't last long. The following couple of days were quite warm and it all disappeared quickly.

Snow!

It's snowing in Tokyo!
