Common in Japan

Here are a few images that you might find interesting if you have not been to Japan or are not from Japan.
This picture was taken on the train. The 5 "masked" women were traveling together. This time of year it is very common to see people of all ages wearing masks. The mask wearing say 1 of 3 things: A) "I am sick, so stay away" B) "I don't want to get what other people have" or C) "I am trying to avoid the pollen that is prevalent right now".
While these plants look like cabbages they are not for eating. They are planted in winter as decoration.
Broiled whole fish. Yes, you eat the entire thing. There are a number of fish here where you eat the entire thing. These are about 5 to 6 inches in length. Itadakimasu!!!
