Going home in just a few days seems so surreal to me, and i still have a friggin cold, but other than that, things are pretty great! Last night was the opening party for the new Inkrat (same guys, new location) and today the sun came back. I spent the day chasing a pair of …

23/4, before going up mount Misen
Ok, this is the last of the Miyajima posts this time around… wait, i am totally lie-telling right now, cause i have a bunch of iPhone pictures i’m probably gonna end up posting too, but it is the last analog post about Miyajima… i think. It’s been raining for, like three days straight, and this …
23/4, Miyajima continued
So, Miyajima isn’t just Mount Misen, although it’s definitely the most memorable of my experiences there. So to continue where i left off, or somewhere in the general area… As we were walking down the mountain, we started to realize that we’d taken the wrong path down. There was a temple we wanted to see, …
Up on a mountain
Gah, i am so friggin tired today! Tokyo-tired, not to be confused with tired of Tokyo, which i never am, ever. We just came back from farewell dinner for our current roommate, Jacob, who’s leaving us tomorrow morning, and as always we had tons of good food and great company. I really am way too …
Fukuyama and Kurashiki, 22/4 2012 (or: “is anybody still reading this?”)
I’m not sure if people still even visit this part of the internet, but in case they do; hi, i’m back! Sort of… We got back to Tokyo on Tuesday, but i haven’t had many seconds to myself since then, and i certainly haven’t had the opportunity to spend any of them on blogging. We’ve …

I know i’ve already posted one picture of my friend Crystal’s dog, but i got some shots of her with the Canon too, and i couldn’t not post them, right? She is, after all, a very pretty dog, and every time you get a non-blurry picture of a playful dog, it’s kind of a miracle. …
Nakano neko 16/4 2012
Tomorrow our vacation starts and although it keeps getting shorter and shorter, we’re still pretty excited. We’re in for some busy days when we get back to Tokyo, so it’s nice that we get to enjoy a bit of traveling first. Today we had our first ever Japanese lesson in Japan, and i saw Nuno …
Shinjuku and Kōenji 15/4 2012
I’m starting to think that my purpose in Japan, like Allan’s purpose is tattooing, is to help old Japanese men to practice their English. It happens a lot, anyway, but i don’t mind. On Sunday i went to the Hanazono Jinja flea market, and bought nothing. I don’t think i’ve ever bought anything at that …
Shibuya 12/4 2012
From our day off Thursday last week, described in a little more detail here. I love walking in Tokyo, but after this day, i realized that i need better walking shoes. Or, just walking shoes, as the boots i’m wearing now don’t even count. Cute van on Cat Street Crow in Yoyogi Koen Enjoying the …
A walk in Kōenji (part 2)
Pictures from my awesome Wednesday afternoon in the hood. Read about it here, if you haven’t already! Near our first Kōenji home, where we stayed 8 years ago A closer look Totoro! Coming down the stairs in our building, where i mostly take the elevator, i met this guy… i don’t know which of us …
