Toy Addict







Now I am forgetting English...or maybe they don't have a name. What are those machines called that dispense gumballs and super balls? In Japan they are called 'Gachya-gachya' and are a completely different breed than their associates in the States. Uta is addicted. You can find them everywhere, sometimes just a few and other times a whole wall lined with them. Uta is pulled to them like a magnet, his eyeballs spinning with desire. They cost 100 to 300 yen, which is roughly 1 to 3 dollars. But here 100 yen is a coin and feels like a quarter to me, so some how they are more easy to part with. Uta is fast growing a collection. Here is what he has amassed so far.
