Had a question come in today asking "how do you get cheap tickets to fly to Japan?" Here's what I think the best way is. You don't want to go searching, you really want the best prices to come to you, every single day. Here's how I did it.

I know its been a while since Cat Island Part 1 came out, and youre all so patiently waiting for Part 2 (soon, I promise!!), so I thought Id put together a TofuguTV quicky in the meantime... also happens to be about the favorite food of cats...
At ざうお (Zauo), a super-fun restaurant, you catch your own fish (and then tell them how you want it prepared). Youre surrounded by aquariums (and possibly sitting on a giant indoor boat) and they give you some bait and fishing poles. From there, you bait the hook and go fishing. The fish are totally dumb and love being caught, which makes it awesome.
This place is a bit gimmicky, sure, but its also one of the funnest restaurants Ive been to. Totally worth checking out, I think!
I also write about Japanese culture, society, language, etc., over at http://tofugu.com (nothing stuffy, only fun). Shoot me an email if I can help with anything!")
