Although extreme weather is becoming the new norm all around the world

Japan was hit by a dry rainy season and now parts of Japan are experiencing floods while other parts are experiencing drought.

The extreme weather has brought some strong storms, including this spectacular lightning storm in Tokyo, where lightning hit one of the commuter trains.

Noone in the train was hurt by the lightning strike.

Click the above animation for the full video (particularly the last 30 seconds).

I could have posted this under "be fluent in Japanese"

but it really doesn’t have anything to do with the Japanese language.

Someone (a half Japanese/half American living in Japan) posted a video to review a new snack product in Japan… Pepsi-flavored corn snacks! (Sort of looks like Cheetos, so you may see references to Pepsi-flavored Cheetos, but just because they look like Cheetos doesn’t mean one should call them Cheetos).

Even though he made a funny look when he took his first bite, I still want to try it!

Anyway, click the above for the video. And oh yea, the picture is not in the video and has nothing to do with the video.

No wonder everyone is passing this car...

It’s upside down!

Click to see a video of this upside down car in action at Le Mans. Really!
