Why Hard Rock Cafe ?

My first visit to the Hard Rock Cafe was right after I started working. My friend and I went to Hard Rock Cafe Roppongi(Tokyo). I had only heard of the name, and wasn't quite sure what kind of "Cafe" it was, except that it was... hard rock !

The second visit to "the Cafe" was in Orlando, Florida(USA), during a vacation trip to Florida. This was when I first started wondering how many Hard Rock Cafes I can visit all around the world.

Now, the first thing I do when I arrive at a destination on a vacation, or even on a buisness trip is look up and find out whether a local Hard Rock Cafe exists. If I find one....Bingo !

The first HRC (Hard Rock Cafe) goods that I got was a T-shirt I purchased in Orlando.

Well, I needed something to prove that I'm going to all these locations...:-) I started buying souveniers at HRCs I visited.

Among the various gifts sold at each locations,the "standard" is the white-tee with the orange "ard Rock Cafe" logo. Though some fo them have the city names printed on them, they can be purchased at most locations.

There are also the "local-specials"...T-shirts that have local designs. These are really cool designs that speak out that "I WAS HERE !" These are the ones I go for.
