On my birthday, we spent the day in Nikko, on a bus tour. It was quite nice, and we got to see some really beautiful things (and have a great Japanese style box lunch). We got a bit of rain towards the end of the day, but luckily it started just as we were to…

While in Kita Kamakura, we went to the restaurant pictured above, Kyoraian, which specializes in beef stew. Oh my was it ever good. A bit pricey, sure (and the reason we’d never gone before), but definitely worth it if you don’t mind paying (of if you’re in the company of a generous person). The portion…

On Sunday we spent the afternoon in Kita Kamakura and Kamakura (we usually get off at Kita Kamakura station, and slowly make our way to Kamakura) with Yuko’s mother, who was visiting over the weekend. As always, it was great to be surrounded by so much beautiful green. The image on the right was taken…

Lots of nice things to see in Taipei. On Sunday, we had a bus tour included in our package deal, and we took advantage of it to check out some of the famous sights (of course, like all Japanese tour packages, this included a few stops at duty free shops). The only place that I…

One of the things that me and Yuko enjoy the most when we travel in Asia is getting food at street markets, and the 2-3 night markets we visited in Taipei certainly did not disapoint. We mostly had meat-bun type foods, but also pancake style treats (wrapped around vegetables or meat), and some delicious egg…

So I’m back from the weekend in Taipei, which was lots of fun, but also very tiring as I had to endure a damn cold the whole time (still not completely over it). I’ll write some more about the trip in a future post, but for now I’ll start posting some pics. As you can…

There are currently quite a few Captain Porno portaits being shown at the Pause cafe near my place (took this moblog shot the other day). Here’s a link to the official Roughtoyz site.
