I "randomly" picked my own theme for my own blog this shootout.....vending machines.
In Japan, the vending machines are known as (jidō-hanbaiki) from jidō, or "automatic"; hanbai, or "vending"; and ki, or "machine", (jihanki) for short.
Japan has the highest vending machine per capita with about one machine per 23 people (according to wikipedia).
Here are some vending machines that I had the chance to take photos while I was driving, walking and shopping :-)
