Okay...I think the Japanese are programming sports just to help me write.

I am in Oahu and have been religiously watching Japanese foot volleyball. Last night, right as foot volleyball was winding down, I saw my new favorite sport.

HAND SOCCER! Japanese guys running around with a little yellow ball, slightly smaller than a volleyball.

They pass the ball back and forth through the gym and eventually throw it as hard as possible at a goal slightly larger than a lacrosse net. We need more of these bizzaro sports in the states. Foot volleyball, hand soccer? What's next?

Truly, what is next from our wonderful Japanese friends? Head volleyballs like seals? Basketball with bowling balls? I think it is worth staying in Hawaii for an extra week just to soak up seven more days of Japanese sports on television.
