Pankun and James

I am so friggin busy at work nowadays that I just don't have the energy for many of my past hobbies - like blogging and surfing the web. Recently though a coworker mentioned something about a Japanese show that featured a monkey and bulldog that went around completing little missions. Well, I just couldn't resist. I looked it up on YouTube and I was HOOKED! This duo is unbelievably adorable. I stayed up well past my bedtime a few nights ago watching every episode i could find and then trying to figure out the backstories. All the videos I found were in Japanese so I could only guess at what was going on. Nevertheless, the storylines (yes - storylines) had me completely enthralled.

In the video below Pankun (chimp) and James (bulldog) are tasked with buying a train ticket, riding a particular train and exiting the train station:



VJJ - this one is for you. Pankun makes udon noodles from scratch!



Don't you love it?!
