Shopping

Not a particularly exciting weekend. It rained pretty much all day yesterday and today was occupied mostly by shopping. Though I did go for a walk in the morning and again in the afternoon with my son. It was nice to be able to watch the trains go by so close with him on my shoulders.

I found this item of Chinese junk today.

Yep, it's a "Wee" not a "Wii". Just your regular crappy Chinese DVD player doing it's best to sound like something popular. Heck it doesn't even do DivX.
For ¥4980 it's a cheap DVD player with a rip-off name. No I didn't buy it.


2.7Litres of 40% Whiskey for ¥3450. It's environmentally friendly as the container uses less energy to produce / recycle and I end up saving ¥450 or so against buying the same volume in individual bottles.

It's no fine whiskey, but for something to mix with Dr Pepper it's quite passable.

That malt has "Projectile Vomiting" written all over it!!!

From a compulsive drinkers point of view anyway;)

You get the breakfast, lunch, and dinner portions all in one bottle. Truly economical!

I'm with Chris. It's a hangover in a bottle. I once tried Kyogetsu Korean shochu in a plastic bottle and it wasn't fun.

@Chris
Yep, I'm sure I could do some serious Liver damage with that one, but I figure it will last me well over a month.

@Billywest
Breakfast? I'm Australian mate, we don't drink at breakfast. :-)

@Thomas
Many of the alcohols you can find in a plastic bottle are rubbish, this is about the only one that's halfway decent.
