Okay, I'm not sure where exactly the description sentence went (the one I wrote out when I created this thing!), so I'll just restate it here: this is basically a dump space for any Asia-related stuff I (or you) think is fascinating, hilarious, just plain trippy, and everything in-between. Stuff from Southeast Asian countries is definitely encouraged, and everyone is welcome to post. Let's all join hands and revel in the Asia-ness! :DDD

Figured it would be appropriate to start off with something from the Anime Motherland. Now available in Japan: flavored hot baths!

Yes, I know that that preview pic seems frightening. Be strong, my friends.

I LOVE the news reporter for reasons that should be obvious by the end of the video. And I also like the way he says cocoa. (Ca-COW.) Though I still don't know WHY anyone would ever want to bathe in a tub of curry water, but okay Japan. You win.
