Today we talk about Japanese gadgets. Now, many people who have never been to japan have this image that japan has all these wacky gadgets. If you search the internet you’ll often come across sites showing all these weird looking contraptions. But, in reality,  Japanese people don’t use hardly any of them, especially the ones that look absolutely ridiculous. If you’re thinking to your-self, “that can’t be true”, then most it likely isn’t. 

Burke and I give you an insight into the cool gadgets that you can see every where, and people actually do use every day in Japan. Some of these things include umbrella "parking" spots, unique traffic signal sounds, pocket compact translators, and a few more. Enjoy the show!

In 1986 something happened in Cleveland that went unnoticed, but it shook the earth to its core and changed the way we view balloons forever. And when you open an umbrella indoors people say it's bad luck but is that just because you might smash a vase, or are the reasons far deeper and more concerning?
