Adventure = Good
- Merry Man
- Tokyo, Japan
- Culture shock is what happens when you live in a foreign country, and you often become irritated or frustrated by all of the cultural differences. Culture Shock makes people bitter, angry and frustrated. It makes people hate all the little things that make a nation like Japan unique, and it has the potential to put a real damper on your ex-patriot life. One way to fight Culture Shock is to be hellbent on being more shocking than any given cultural situation. I have a dirty mind, a sick sense of humour and I firmly believe in eating very strange things to assert my rightful place on the food chain. Welcome to my little window on Japansanity.

why is it so ugly? it looks like concrete columns. is it made out of cement?
It's actually made out of giant tree trunks and painted to appear concrete-ey. I think they were imported from Thailand or something.
As for why it's ugly... I suspect that like beauty, ugliness is in the eye of the person telling the guy that painted it that he fucked up. (or "the beholder", your choice.
: )
My bad... I did some more research... Although there are massive wood torii gates at places like Meijijingumae in central Tokyo, this gate is actually made of steel.
So yeah... it's more than just a bad paint job.
