Crazy Cars

Japan could be renamed "the land of cute". Seems everything has a cute character or cartoon to decorated it. It is uncommon to pass a car with a few stuffed animals on the dashboard. Then there are a few cars that stand out. My friend Maki’s car makes is in this last category. It makes me smile. She likes Disney especially Toy Story and Stitch.

Monday Steve, Tiffany and I spent the day with Maki, driving around in the alien-mobile. Steve made the suggestion that we (the three foreigners) should adopt the Toy Story aliens as our mascots because the direct translation for "Gaijin" is alien. What do you think?
