International District Oddities.

On my way home from Loudeye, I spotted a Vietnemese gentleman with a load of soda cans walking down the street. This was unusual in that the man was wearing a classic Vietnamese wide-brimmed straw hat, and was carrying the cans in large bags attached at either end of a bamboo pole. Safe to say that this isn't something you'd see in the midwest. :)

Near Safeco Field I spotted a car with the following bumper sticker: "Yes I am an agent of Satan, but my duties are largely ceremonial."

On Roosevelt street near Nathan's apartment there is a gigantic video sale/rental store called Scarecrow. You could literally browse this place for hours. Not only are videos organized by title, but there are also massive sections organized by country, director, and even by famous quotes! Very impressive. You'd certainly need a region-free DVD player to get the most out of the place, however. One such quote posted under its relevant title: "It's a shame what happened to your mother. She was a very handsome woman." -Royal Tenenbaums
