I was a smoker for many years. Emotions about this are mixed. If I knew with certainty that tobacco would never negatively impact my life, I would run to the nearest shop to buy some. Alas, that isn’t the world we live in. I elect not to smoke in the hopes of improving my quality…

Taiwanese Contemporary Art Museum [Photo Dump]
I happen to love weirdo contemporary art. So I took a ton of photos at this particular museum. It was pretty much the only museum where I did take any photos. The exhibit they had was weird, but not entirely unpleasant.
Robot Show! [Photo-Dump]
What, did you really think I was going to talk about a Robot show and not provide pictures? Ha!
Ultimately, a return
I left Tokyo and boarded a plane. The reluctance was not just my massive cowardice regarding flying, but an unjustified fear that nothing good could come of going back. But at this point I was committed to going back whatever came, and so I got on the plane and headed back to the US. But not to…
Tokyo Pics! [Photo-Dump]
Wouldn’t I be horrible if I didn’t post some awesome Tokyo pictures?
My night with the millennial and an Apologia for a vice.
Before leaving Hangzhou my flatmate and friend gave me a little envelope of goodies as a parting gift. It was just an assortment of things useful for my time in Tokyo. Among them was a coupon for a ticket to see the Robot Show. After the preliminary rounds of ‘what the fuck is that’, he…
Tokyo – a joy to walk about in
As far as good blogging is concerned, my trip to tokyo could be considered a massive fucking failure. I barely went to any museums, I barely went to any bars (somewhat by design) and I barely saw any landmarks whatsoever. I did however not encounter a meal I didn’t like while I was there (gastronomical…
Japan, Gastronomical Tourism, and the Wi-fi Hotspot Bait and Switch
After abandoning China I spent a couple of days in Tokyo. I had a wonderful experience there, despite the fact that Tokyo was slammed by a typhoon while I was there. Alas, I am not the type of elementary school essayist to churn out a “My vacation to Tokyo” style essay for this blog post….
Taipei, Taiwan [Photo Dump]
Finally a photo dump out of China! Contrary to what the Chinese think (who are simply wrong) Taiwan is not a part of China. Chinese people need a visa and a passport to go there, google and facebook et all work there, and they use a different currency. Not to mention it is clean and…
Flying again.
I flew again. I hate flying. Long time readers of this blog will remember that flying is something I don’t care for. Part of this is for the perfectly rational reason that everything about flying is fucking horrific. Bad food, uncomfortable chairs, stressful environment. Add to that the fact that I am well larger than…
More Korea, Last photo dump
When I was in Korea I also made it to a Buddhist temple. Lot of fun. As a quick update, this should be my last photo dump. I hope. On the 7th of December I have to take a test. After that, I should have more free time? …
BUSAN! [Oct 9th]
The ship docked in Busan some time during the middle of the night, making me miss the show of the pilot coming aboard. When I awoke (6am) the stevedores were already hard at work, and it was actually the sound of cranes and crashing containers that stirred me from sleep. I ran outside and…
