<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Robots. Lasers. Flashing lights. Young women dancing enthusiastically in not many clothes. It must be Japan.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sJ5aEdLoPs">The Robot Restaurant</a> has gained notoriety for its mind-boggling 90-minute, sci-fi cabaret show and its garishly illuminated interior. Completed in 2012 at a cost of $10 million, nearly every surface of the club is decorated in lights, mirrors, or flat panel monitors.</span></div>
<div style="min-height: 1px; padding: 0px;">

<div style="min-height: 1px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The robot cabaret show, however, is the main event. The spectacle encompasses seven or so acts including robot boxing, dancers riding a robot tank, and other sci-fi madness.</span></div>

There were 2,670 passengers on board and almost 2,600 of them were Japanese nationals. Of the fewer than 100 foreigners, we were 2 of only 20 Americans. While the purpose of the cruise was a quick way to get us to 4 cities in Japan and 1 in Russia, we did have an on-board life, also.</span><br />

In fact, 1 in every 10 fish eaten annualy in the world is consumed in Japan. That makes fishing cities like Kushiro on the island of Hokaido extremely important.</span><br />
