Tokyo’s Tsukiji Fish Market
This video was taken in the summer of 2006. It the section of the fish market where there are small restaurants, is where I had the BEST sushi of my life! It was SO fresh and delicious, there was a taste explosion going off in my mouth. I’ve been eating sushi since I was 16, [...]

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 [...]

20. July 2006
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 [...]

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, [...]

17. July 2006
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 [...]

I’m interested in seeing some irezumi, but probably won’t. That is… unless I chance upon some yakuza having a throw down. Even in the unlikely chance that happens, I highly doubt they’d take off their shirts for my view pleasure. I’ll be on the lookout though. Written on the Body: Irezumi and the Decorated Skin [...]
