    I loved Takashimaya in Japan... you can spot them from almost anywhere in Tokyo with a large, minimalistic logo on the top of the stores: OIOI, any geek would appreciate it looking like binary code.

    My gf at the time would get upset for calling it by it's phonetic equivalent "oi oi", and would often correct me stating it was pronounced "Takashimaya!"
