Now, the TSA doesn't even trust pilots, who go through the same screening as the rest of us to make sure they’re not bringing something extraordinarily dangerous onto a plane like a 3.5 oz bottle of shampoo. Because, of course, with a little bottle of shampoo, they could make a bomb, which they could use to fly the plane they are piloting into a building, something that is impossible for mere pilots sitting at the controls of the jet.

So while we were in Tokyo, Mena heard about a place called Inutama, Nekotama, Tamaitachi. It sounded bizarre. The idea is that there are dogs, and cats, and ferrets, at this little theme park, and people go to the park, pay a certain number of yen, and play with the dogs.
Being saps for any kind of dog-related activity, we decided we'd try to find this place.
Following are my fairly disjointed thoughts on Tokyo Disneyland, but mainly just focusing on the Tiki Room. Written the day we went to the park, but posted today.
My basic impressions of the Tokyo Disneyland park: it's small; the gift shops are *much* better than those at Disneyland in LA; it's not crowded on a weekday in winter; it's really fucking cold.
And, in Tokyo, they give the Tiki Room the respect it deserves.
