Land of funny signs

I haven`t the slightest clue what this sign is for. perhaps this store sells tires, maybe its a sex shop. I will probably never know.

Hey Erik, The sign with the boy holding up the bear is for a restaurant: Kin Taro Sushi
maki says their is a story to the boy [Kin Taro meaning Gold]. he is not as popular as Momotaro a boy born from a peach. Since Kin Taro isn't as popular she can't remember the story but she thinks he killed the bear

Correction, Kin Taro had a fight with the bear. Possibly because the bear was annoying. She'll look up this story and we'll get back to you

It is nice to see you are getting a bit of response to your postings Erik. I finally found out where your messages were being posted, so we are 'new' readers! I have sent the website to 'family' members as per the info from the letter we are putting together.

Beautiful sunny day, Valhalla is having a big sale. (I bought a fleece coat for $32.) I dug up the potatoes and am getting ready to put them away for the winter. Cheers!

Hey! I am looking at your site for the first time.
I was surprised to your tidiness.
By the way, this is a sushi restaurant,15minutes walk from my house in the suburb of Tokyo.
I don`t remenber the Kintarou story anymore either,but Kin means GOLD and Taro is very traditional and popular name for men.
I`d really really like to see you,Megan,Judy Henning ,Julia and her cute son!!!
How have you been?
