Things I saw on my way to and from work:
Korean version of Biker chicks. They had black tank tops, jeans, and not so thin frames.
A swastika.
A full moon.

I'm sure you must be aware that the swastika is actually the opposite to the nazi one and is a symbol used by Buddhists long before Hitler was a gleam in his father's eye. |

| Yeah, I do. Unfortunate that it has that connotation to Westerners now. Still a noteworthy thing for me, who is new here, to see. |

| I remember going into the basement of a temple in Japan once that was pitch black. People go in there and feel their way around with just their hands and eventually emerge back out into daylight. After you get out they show you a map of the room you were in and it's a swastika (manji). |
