“Stone baked potatoes” is the cry from a small little cart that cruises the neighborhood all day everyday in the colder months. People sometimes come out of their houses following the sounds to buy a piping hot sweet potatoe that costs about $7.00. Another cart that cruises our neighborhood is the Rahmen guy. I can’t remember song exactly that is played but it is distince no less. The reason I am bringing this up is because I couldn’t sleep last night due to the potaoe salesman. Some carts don’t play music. They use a whistle instead. The whistle blows the same tone at relatively low volume continuously. The heat from the fire in the oven feeds the whistle. The sound permeates the neighborhood with a monotounous, annoying sound only Japanese can appreciate. I on the the other find it just as annoying as the politicians blaring their campaigns from vans over loudspeakers (I yelled at one the other day to quiet, “urusai!!”). BTW, the big purple potatoes taste great. No butter need.
