The Life of a Vending Machine in Japan 27.03.08
Unlike the UK, vandalism is not a popular past time in Japan. With this threat missing from the streets, vending machines are all over the place with an amazing one vending machine for every 23 people.
Mr Ikeda of Sapporo, Japan has since August 2005 taken a photo of the same drinks vending machine nearly everyday, diligently recording any changes.
This obsession is documented on his accurately entitled blog “I take a picture of the vending machine every day (or so). I’m very sorry“.
A seemingly pointless obsession resulting a truly original and brilliant blog. Hat’s off to Mr Ikeda.
