Okinawa

Here are pictures from my trip to Okinawa. This was my first SCUBA experience and it was unbelievable. These pictures do not truly capture the beauty of these islands nor the feeling I got being out in the vast sea in this magnificent setting. This is a trip that am so glad that took and will never forget. I wish I could spend about a month or two out there just to dive everyday. If you ever have a chance to go diving, anywhere in the world, do not pass it up. It's like visiting another planet. Hope you enjoy the pics.

Japan Summer 2008

My brother came out to Japan for the first time. It was a busy summer with the sport camps and all but we had a lot of fun. Everyday was packed with things to do. It was great to have him as a guest.

After you start the movie you can click on the images to go to the web album.

Fukushima 2008

Fukushima

Kamakura

Hello!! So, I haven't been anywhere new for a while and decided to go out last weekend. I went to Kamakura, which is only 17 mins. from my home station. I had no plan on where to go see when I got there. I just decided to make it up once I arrived :) This plan turned out well for me. I saw the beach, a beautiful temple, and the big bronze daibatsu. It was a pretty windy, so while I walked along the beach it felt like the sand was piercing my skin. Other than that it was a great day and the city is really nice. There is a ton of temples and other touristy things to do there. It's nice that it is so close and I will be definitely going back. I can't wait for all the trees to change colors. That's gonna be a sight!

Hope all is well. Take care. Enjoy the pics.

Kamakura

OOOOHHHHHH YYYEEEEAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!

I finally got to go to a big time game convention! It was awesome!!! Here are my pics. The attendance for the day I went was around 68,000. Over a three day period I think it was close to 187,000. Just crazy how many people where there. The other crazy thing is that the place was big enough for all those people. Later

Tokyo Game Show 2007

My first guest.

Towards the end of summer, my high school friend Anthony Wingate came to see what this whole Japan thing was all about. He was here for almost 2 weeks, so I tried to cram in as much as I could for him to see. I had to take him to Osaka and Kyoto 'cause I think those places are just awesome. We also went to a bunch of places in Tokyo and Yokohama. I enjoyed his visit very much and was glad he was able to make a trip out here. We did and saw some things I hadn't before, so that was good. You can find pictures of his trip here:

Tony's Trip

As for everything else it's cool. Work is good and still fun. I am trying to move into a new apartment and that is a little difficult. It usually costs a lot of money to move in to a new place here. And when I say a lot, I mean A LOT. We are looking at about 5x a single month's rent to move in. Then after that I'll have to buy washing machine, burner, microwave, frig, etc., etc. Ehhhhhh, I know I want to move, I'm just gonna have to wait until I find something that's decent and not gonna make be broke after I move in. Speaking of moving, I'm gonna go look for some places right now. Hope everyone is doing well and you enjoy the pics.
