yes, I am a Japanese Castle Otaku... も一度日本のお城のブログをした！二週前の滋賀県の旅行時、彦根へ行った、彦根城へ行った！晩いですから、あまり日本語を書きません。ごめん！
On my Sunday in Japan (TWO weekends ago already... I'm falling behind!) I had an ambitious plan - I was going to see not one, but two castles. In the morning it was Hikone Castle, further to the east along the south shore of Lake Biwa. ( Read more
Yatta! i saw it finally... took two tries!

ok, i got to the office from the olympic torch relay a few minutes ago very confused...
All I saw was a bunch of people yelling and jeering some pro-democracy protesters in front of the MTR entrance at Kowloon Park... this went on for like 45 minutes!
Either one of two things happened:
1) I got to there too late and the torch passed by... and then people stayed for 45 minutes watching the protesters and counter protesters yell at eachother.
2) they canceled this leg of the relay (because of the protest...Read more
i'm going to go to bed relatively early (~3am) tonight... i want to try to get up and out of the house by 10am tomorrow... I'm going to try to get down to TST by 10:30.
Why? Because the olympic torch is coming to HK!

| Entry | A couple of us went to see an early screening of 'Iron Man' tonight (it opens wide here tomorrow, May 1st, a day ahead of the US!)
I had heard good things about this (93% on the tomatometer!?) but didn't really know what to expect... iron man isn't my f...Read more
i'm sure you're all eagerly waiting for the next japan trip blog... but sorry you'll HAVE TO WAIT!
I just wanted to share one thing:
I met one of my idols today! It was a short conversation, and we didn't get to take a picture. But it was cool as hell anyway. (and before you ask - no, it wasn't Hamasaki...)
In other news... things are super busy at the office! the 'new' AnD is one year old (well technically slight more already), so we're marking the occasion with a big event in HK...Read more
So as I mentioned in my last blog, I found out that Minakuchi, a small town in Shiga Prefecture was having their Matsuri (local festival) that weekend, so I decided to stick around to check it out. お城を見た後、僕は滋賀県水口市で何時間待てました、その週末は水口祭りが有った。
For those who don't know, matsuri ( wikipedia) means festival and in Japan pretty much every town, city or region has at least one matsuri a year. Its usually related to a local shrine or temple or legend...Read more
As some of you know, I went to Japan last weekend for a quick getaway. I had found a good deal on Cathay a few months back so I booked a ticket. Unfortunately Polymuso had changed their date to fall on the same weekend, but given how many events we have nowadays, i knew I'd be missing something else if I rescheduled, so I went anyway!
先週末日本に短旅行した。関西までの安切符を買ったのに滋賀県で遊んだ。金曜日夜友達と滋賀県大津市で食事した。僕の写真を見て。
I originally planned to visit Osaka and Kyoto the whole time, but instead I ended up spending the whole weekend in the ne...Read more
I had originally planned on meeting up with an AnD friend on Saturday morning, but she had to work unexpectedly, so I had to go solo this day.
先週末滋賀に居た時、甲賀の忍者マンションの予定したけど、行かなかった！とても田舎でしたから、駅から遠い！タクシとバスを見つけなかったから、行かなかった。
I had wanted to check out the 'Ninja Village' and/or the 'Ninja Mansion' in the small town of Kouka in southern Shiga. I had heard about these places and tried to go a few months back but wasn't able to.
So I took the train out to there in the morning but I was a b...Read more
If you want to know how I spent most of my Saturday, just read this from the new Admin Bear blog:
AnD + LKF Beer Fest Band Search!
i figured i'd bite the bullet and get the video and blog online ASAP. The event was really fun, unfortunately we didn't have a lot of time to prepare, but it turned out pretty well. It was great that the judges were wi...Read more
