Some of us like Apples, some of us like Sonys. No reason why we can’t all get along right? ^^.
How many Sonys can you spot in this photo?

June 6th, 2010Tokyo Big6 Baseball League – Keio vs Waseda
June 5th, 2010
The (東京六大学野球連盟) Tokyo Big6 Baseball League consists of Keio, Waseda, Hosei, Meiji and Rikkio. All famous universities in Tokyo.
Before I forget. Let me just plug this in.
The Graduate School of Science and Technology at Keio has an international program if you’re looking for an opportunity to further your studies in Japan. There’s also a scholarship possibility too. You can also find out more about some of the research labs at Keio’s YouTube channel if you’re interested.
Anyway, this is by far, my favorite photo of the match. ^^. It’s not of baseball, but rather of a Keio ōendan (応援団) member. An ōendan is a Japanese version of a cheering squad. There are both male and female members. Female members are more or less like their counterparts in the US, with the sexy outfit and all. Male members are dressed Men in Black.

Latest addition to the family
June 1st, 2010
Mum sent over a photo of the latest addition to our family this morning. Isn’t he just cute. ^^. I haven’t met him yet. At the rate he’s growing, I’m going to miss out on his puppy days…
Clicking the heels on my Nike dunks and chanting "There’s no place like home, there’s no place like home, there’s no place like ….."
Damn. It’s not working!
iPad + Velcro
May 29th, 2010You might have seen this, but isn’t it obvious how awesome this coupling really is? Just work the velcro into a decent iPad case and I think it’s perfect. All that’s left after that is the strategic placement of velcro strips around the home. ^^.
Thanks to Jesse Rosten for a great vid.
Drinking shochu
May 28th, 2010
When visitors ask me what shochu is, I usually tell them it’s Japanese whiskey. There are a few different tastes when it comes to shochu. The taste depends on the ingredient used in distillation. The common ones are sweet potatoes, brown (black) sugar, barley and rice. You can easily tell where a particular shochu was made just from the ingredient used in distilling it.
Thai Festival 2010
May 16th, 2010
Spent most of Sunday at the Thai Festival in Shibuya. It was really packed! I bet cell towers in the area were probably overworked. ^^.
It’s a huge contrast from what’s happening back in Bangkok. Everyone here was just having a ball enjoying the best of Thai cuisine. No reds, no yellows. Just all smiles.
