I received this text message from my friend Reardon, a couple hours after arriving home this morning: “u cannot promise many pictures of japanese girls thn pull “down time” bs.”  Okay, okay, here they are: View the entire album here.  I’ve talked to a couple guys and they say Korean girls are better looking, while [...]

I’m finally back home after being gone for over a week.  It feels nice to come back to a comfortable and familiar place.  As promised, pictures are coming.  This coming week will be REALLY busy for me.  After this week, I won’t have constant internet access for two months.  Therefore, I have to get as [...]

I spent the last two days in Seoul with Allison.  We did a lot of eating, drinking, but no dancing.  I was falling asleep from being too drunk.  I’m going to be out of town for the next week and don’t know if I’ll have access to the internet.  In the meantime, I’ll be prepping [...]

I had some great food in Japan, but it is more expensive there.  I’m sure you could get by on $15 a day in Tokyo, but you’d be ordering the cheapest items at diners (meaning small portions) or eating ramen at AM/PM.  I probably spent around $20-$30 a day, but that’s eating whatever caught my [...]

Tokyo is hot and humid in the summer.  These are items that I thought were useful to bring. *** A bandanna – or small hand towel or handkerchief.  It’s hot, and you’ll be sweating a lot. *** Plug adapter – If you’re coming from Korea, you can buy an adapter at a hardware store for [...]

After reading the entire comic, all I can say is "Wow".  It’s offensive, but remember, it was 1942.  "US War Department comic strip included in the first edition of the "POCKET GUIDE TO CHINA", a 75-page booklet distributed to US soldiers (Army and Navy) during their stay in China during World War II." After my [...]

One of my photos from the Oregon Country Fair is being used at NowPublic.com.  You can see the picture here.  Warning:  There are photos from other photographers that contain nudity (mostly just hippy titties).  Don’t confuse this event with your run of the mill "state fair". "NowPublic is a participatory news network which mobilizes an [...]

I have a secret.  I feel guilty for having taken over 1500 pictures during my 1 week trip to Tokyo.  I sort of feel that 1500 pictures is excessive, but don’t feel bad about it.  But I am a little embarrassed to admit it though.  Tokyo is a great place for people watching.  Many times, [...]

I arrived back in Korea late last night (almost 2am).  The weather was dreary when I left, and still dreary upon my return.  The weather in Tokyo was pretty good for my trip.  I had looked at the 7 day forecast before flying out, and it looked like scattered rain all week.  Fortunately, I only [...]
