The Colonel Returns

I thought it would be interesting to bring up what I forgot to mention before in that KFC in Japan not only celebrates Christmas but also the Japanese holiday of Children's Day (Boy's Day), which occurred this past Thursday on May 5th.


Colonel Sanders showing his Samurai spirit.

Traditionally, a part of Children's Day consists of families decorating a guest room with historical dolls, miniature Samurai helmets, armor and such...hence the Colonel getting into the action.

I have to wonder with such an interest in KFC (KFC was mentioned at least twice in a popular TV show called Trivia no Izumi) if there are Japanese tour buses going to the Colonel Harland Sanders Cafe & Museum in Corbin, Kentucky- similar to the international tours to Walt Disney's Hometown Museum in Marceline, Missouri.

Looks like Japan was the victim of a foreign invasion of biblical proportions after all. The American Colonel was victorious! BTW, I saw lots of KFC at Guadalajara as well.
