		<description>atmosphere is important  for that kind of place. Maybe they were trying to do wild west pizza so something. Actually, today is my last day working at Nerima. If I return it will be to do management stuff. I will miss the place. The people are nice.</description>

		<description>The "stick random stuff on the walls" school of restaurant decor is very popular in the States.  

The Subway restaurant in Rittman, OH (population: a few thousand) has enormous black-and-white historical skyline photos of some really big city (might be NYC, not sure) covering all the walls from floor to ceiling.

I've seen a restaurant that served (Americanized) Italian food, but the decor was decidedly Early American.  This was in Ohio, so really neither of those things would generally be considered foreign.  I found it slightly odd, but at least the decor was consistent with itself.  

Sometimes you'll see things that don't seem related at all, like mechanical stuff on one wall and vintage glassware on another.  In extreme cases each thing on the walls seems totally unrelated to most or all of the others, e.g., you might see a tin washtub, a mosaic depiction of the Acropolis in small ceramic tiles, a summer-camp T-shirt, a lobster trap, and a garden rake, all on the same restaurant wall.  I just made up this specific example out of whole cloth, but I've seen restaurant walls that were just about that mixed up.</description>

		<description>Ha, I've done that too.  It was actually before I had the motorbike license, when I was still riding 50cc mopeds (I was on a car license that I had transferred from Canada).  It's pretty easy to rack up the demerit points on one of those things, and I had to do the remedial classroom session.  14,000 yen and you had to be a good boy for a whole year afterwards to avoid another suspension...</description>

		<description>Took my chuugata bike license in Japan in April 2007 and it was the best thing I ever did. What an experience! If you can get through all the Japanese classroom stuff, its incredibly ego-boosting to be able to say you got your license in another country~ 

Now, how about about posting about what happens when you get caught speeding and illegally parking a few times and have to go BACK for a remedial class?! Now that was a privilege I dont want to pay for again....</description>
