it all started in an Indian restaurant where i was having my lunch. a Japanese man walked in. he wanted to interview the Indian cooks present, but the owner of that restaurant directed the man to me saying something along the lines of "インド人じゃないけど、変な外人いるよ！ -
he ain't Indian but he's a weird foreigner”and so he came to my table for a little chat.
he tells me he's a staff from a show going around the city asking foreign folks questions about what is strange about this city (Osaka). so i say two things that come to mind. first, super tamade. it's the bright lit building in the background of the picture. a supermarket that is lit up like vegas from far. a casino parlour of some sort i thought, but it was just your local good ol' grocery store with unbeatable low prices.
second, i told him that i once came across a vending machine in a certain part of town that sold canned curry rice priced at 100yen. comes out warm and with a plastic mini spoon attached. the restaurant owner comes by our table and hands the man the canned curry (i gave the owner two cans as a present the day i found it). blown away by it he asks if i tried it. the day i saw it i was curious and hungry. and to my surprise the curry rice was not too bad i told him. then a few weeks later at a ramen shop for lunch, i get several phone calls from friends telling me they're watching my face slapped on tv something about canned curry rice.
