Apparently in Japan, Burger King is offering ALL YOU CAN EAT Whoppers until October 15th in the “B”i King campaign!
Order a set with fries and a drink and for 30 minutes you can stuff yourself with Whoppers to your heart’s content. Here is a link to their site if you are wondering.

Get me a ticket to Japan double-quick!!!

Tokyo is a very crowded city. This is the fact. You know about it. But do you really KNOW what it’s like?
