My brother, Lara, and I went to Muscle Park yesterday, where we tested various aspects of our athletic skillz. Here, Lara and I test our agility and teamwork by holding a basketball--not so successfully--through a maze of steel.
Many of the tests at MP are those seen on those popular Japanese TV shows where people compete in random creative events to win honor and sometimes money.
We took some awesome videos, which I'll be posting later this weekend.

In 2008, Chronicle published my book: Urawaza: Secret Everyday Tips and Tricks from Japan.
I am also the founder of The Tofu Project, a boutique program that helps Japanese entrepreneurs and creators think deeper, tell better stories, and go out into the world in a much bigger way. We work with companies like Mixi, Japan Airlines, and Salesforce.com.
Sometimes I try to explain Japanese culture on CNN, BBC, CBC, WSJ, ABC (so many acronyms!) or in person at places like the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan, ETech, and Ignite!

I think there are a lot more creative ways of having fun in Japan than there are in the States. I would love to go somewhere like this with my friends and laugh at our inability to complete any of the games. Hope you had a blast Lisa!

That looks like fun!

That does look like way fun. Ah, if only Southern California could get hip with stuff like this. On the other hand, we do have wicked surfing though.
