It sounds like all "westerners" are scared by the Yaki Imo man. First time I stayed in Tokyo I found the "Yaki Imo" song fairly creepy! Being scared by a singing potato man! LOL pathetic really isnt it!
That is exactly it! And didn't you enjoy buying a hot coffee, or hot tea from the vending machine, and rolling it around in your cold hands, too? I love that aspect of winter here. Oh, and the hot "oshibori" or the cloths they give you at restaurants! Heaven!! Thanks for commenting and watching.
The little things like that are why I want to go back and live in Japan for a while. Some people are into the whole anime scene or the music scene, for me, it's enjoying the little things and going and cooking at a sento or onsen for a few hours.

@StanPomeray Well, it does kind of sound like a death chant, I'll give you that much.

I was in Japan for a month in November-December of 2006, and I loved getting the occasional sweet potato, just the perfect taste on a cold night.
