And here is Kent French, appearing in a Japanese TV Show.

I tried to copy the way he clapped, but my sweaty palms end up slipping over each other, with no sound XD.

Custom Cars, Cool but Expensive!

In Japan, custom cars are awesome! Take a look at the YouTube video embedded below..

It makes the customized cars in Singapore looks like crap. Wait I don’t think any Singaporean will really go all the trouble just to customize their cars! I seldom see cars with TVs installed. Do you see any type of “customized” cars in your country?

Batman van, a rolling tribute to the superhero that cost 25 million yen ($280,000), took 13 years to complete, and earned the owner a divorce.

Lol towards the end the guy’s net was broken, and he caught 31 goldfishes within a minute! Wow!
