It's local government election time in Tokyo and candidates are making their presence well-know by driving through the narrow streets of their constituency in vote-me-mobiles. Rigged atop these minivans of democracy are loud-speaker systems that really bring home each candidate's message, even if you're legally deaf.
How loud, you ask? I bought myself some noise-canceling headphones for the flight home. They are effective enough that I can not hear a bus or truck drive past me on the street, a train go overhead when I walk under a bridge (then how do you know one went over, hmmm?) or the spine-ripping shrieks of school girls. These headphones are totally ineffective against the vote-me-mobiles.
I wanna see Hillary in one of these vans.
