“Instant noodles” are pretty common in Asia and USA but they are pretty unknown in Europe, don’t know why. “Instant noodles” where invented by Momofuku Ando, the founder of Nissin, the biggest instant noodles producer in the world.

“Instant noodles” are not a very healthy food, but what the heck! They are really useful when you are tired after a long day. It’s one of those things I love about living in Japan, and I really miss instant noodles when I’m in Spain for holidays.

Many noodle varieties.

This what you get when you pay.

Inside.

The ingredients.

Just pour some hot water. Wait some minutes and…

Final result.

Tokyo Dance Trooper

This weekend, before the Otaku demonstration, I helped Dannychoo to make a new Stormtrooper video . This is the result:

The video is the second most linked today from blogs all over the world, so our video is at Technorati’s top page! Even the iPhone can’t beat the power of Dannytrooper!

Otaku

Otaku demonstration

This weekend I joined an Otaku demonstration, probably the first Otaku demo ever. It was in Akihabara were around 1.000 otakus joined the march against otaku discrimination. They claimed respect from traditional media that sometimes treats otakus people in general as “criminals” and also the “liberation of Akihabara and otaku emancipation”. Lately many big department stores are conquering Akihabara, little shops are disappearing, and with them the “authentic Akihabara spirit” is also being destroyed.

Danny Choo joined the demo as Stormtrooper, try to find him in the pictures:
