ソーピード Thorpedo
The latest in sports drinks here in Japan - Thorpedo. Ian even makes an appearance in the TVCM, showing off not only his swimming ability, but also his ability to talk underwater.Japanese people seem to love him. I was at a dinner last night when a lady I had met earlier in the week approached me. She told me that her daughter, who was sitting a few tables away, heard that I was from Australia and wanted to know if I knew Ian Thorpe. I told her to tell her daughter that yes, we are quite good friends. She called her daughter over, and told her that Ian and I go way back. She was so excited! I pulled out my mobile phone and said "Shall we call him?" That was when she realised something was up.

I haven't tried that one yet. Ian looks more like a camel or giraffe than a human being to me.
Um.. on a different note, your hand could use some tan. yup. :-)
Have a fantabulous week.
Hey Shigeki,
I'm a white guy, I have white hands. Gomen ne. haha
As a Kiwi, I shouldn`t really like Aussie athletes but you have to hand it to this Thorpe dude ... he can really swim and hold his breath (the tv ad is pretty cool). Tried the drink, I reckon it tastes much better than Aquarius and Pocari.
