Winning at those claw games, and the secret to learning Japanese.
6 05 2008This is kind of fun. Unlike here in the States, apparently it’s actually possible to win at those claw games in Japan. (They’re called ‘UFO catchers’ there.) I’d love to win some of those cute stuffed animals for my kids. :)

edit: OK, I don’t really have anything to write today, I admit it. I thought this video was great, too:
The guy in the video is really funny.
What he said though were all true. It’s 100% OK here to ask the staff to make it easier for you. But I’m not yet ready to spend some money yet and hone my “catching skills” nor become an “apprentice” :D
Maybe soon. My friend’s closet, which is full of those cute stuff from the UFO catcher makes me wanna at least try.
That second video is pretty good, too. Haha.
