The Bribes - Sugar Overload

How do you keep a 9 year old happy, walking and sightseeing daily hours on end for a fortnight? By bribing of course!

Exhibit no. 1 : sugar bribe.

Not just any old thing. For this boy, it's Daido's Ultraman and Kamen Rider drinks. 

 

Worked pretty well in previous years too.

They cost 100yen at the vending machines. Can't choose what you can get over at the machines so if you want to try to collect a complete set, a better bet would be to head-off to Yamashiroya nearby Ueno Station. They sell this stuff too, with tax at 105yen.

Of course, a bribe is only effective if used sparingly and wisely. You can't be bribing left, right, center!

For Son - one sugar bribe a day. That's the limit and usually handed out when the energy level was way low.
