KFC buffet

The one and only KFC Buffet is in Japan. 

The buffet includes potatoes, chicken nuggets, dumplings, pasta, bacon, yakisoba, and of course, fried chicken. The rules of the buffet are a little more strict than they are in America (ex. there is a time limit), but this is an experience you should all try out!

Best songs to lose your weight

Spring is a season when most people tend to eat a lot of food and drink a lot of beer. (Actually, food and beer is good for every season...) But for you dieters, I bet you have never thought of this way to lose weight! a good work out is... *drumroll* KARAOKE!

On average, you lose about 10 calories by singing one song, and there would be better effects by singing songs like ballads or blues because you use more stomach power rather than singing up-beat rock an pop songs.

Just remember to stay away from drinks and snacks when you are at the karaoke bar!

According to "Big Echo" the number 1 karaoke manufacturer in Japan, the best Japanese songs you can lose your weight are;

1) SAKURA - KOBUKURO  2) MIRAI YOSOUZU - DREAMS COME TRUE  3) KOKONISHIKA SAKANAI HANA - again, KOBUKURO

Combat Nunchucks

This competition is unlike any other competition. (Well, maybe it is.) It's a nunchuck competition, and they're blindfolded. At first, they use bells to sense the opponent when they practice, but during the real competition, they take the bells off. I think it's cool, although I do not understand why anybody would take a nunchuck class, or why there would even be a nunchuck class.

My only real question is, how many people actually compete?
