TOKYO Wakeboarding and Jestskiing

I recently was invited by Shikachan to go wakeboarding and jetskiing with Kamechan and the crew!

シカちゃん、亀ちゃん達に誘われ、wakeboardとjetskii BBQに行ってきました!

Of course, the crew was in full effect!

もちろんいつものメンバーが勢揃い!

It was a unexpected day of good sports, good friends, and…

友だち、スポーツと、

BBQ!!

BBQでした!!

Here’s Shikachan showing Tintin all the food…

シカちゃんとティンコマスター…食べ物をじ〜〜っと見てる。

Owata Camping Grounds Day 2

Not wanting to a quitter (like me), Nabs was up super early challenging the river and the 5 fish that lived there…

I was over it.

DJNABSは朝から釣りに燃えていた。俺とは違い、諦めていなかったみたい。

Meanwhile, here is Tintin’s idea of mixing with the other dogs…

その間、他のワンちゃん同士の触れ合いタイムがあったんだけどティンティンは全く興味無し…

Here’s a POV from the middle of that river. I froze so you could have [...]

Owata Camping Grounds Day 1

I left Tokyo and passed through the crumbling suburban towns to move towards the mountains…I was going camping!

I went to unplug myself from the world for one full day and night.

都内を離れ、古いくたびれた田舎の町を通り抜け、山へ向かった。

キャンプに行く事になったのです!

現代社会から逃げ、すべてのコネクションを切り、自然とゆっくり時間を過ごす事にしたんです!

A nice pleaseant drive through the twisty mountin roads…

気持ちいい峠走行…

Over bridges…

橋も渡り…

Welcome to the Owata Camping Grounds!

約一時間半で大渡キャンプ場に着きました!

Jingumae Fireworks Show

The city was filled with girls wearing yukatas…

町には浴衣姿の女の子達がいっぱい…

Yes, it was the Jingumae fireworks show!

はい、神宮外苑花火大会がまたやってきました!

The streets were closed off and the place was packed!

今年も信じられないくらいの人!

It was a battle to find a place with a clear view…trees, buildings, signs were everywhere.

場所取りでみんな必死。取りあえず場所をGETし、待つ事にした。

We thought we found a good spot… until [...]

The Move… MORIS,…THANK YOU!!!

First off, I have to thank Moris for seriously hooking me up. He basically helped me move for FREE AND paid for the rent a truck! WTF!? What I am I supposed to do?? How can I repay you???

Moris scored the Toyota 2-ton rent a truck. We thought we didn’t need [...]

My balcony…

My first time living somewhere higher than the 4th floor…

I am definitely enjoying the new view from my new apartment.

4階以上のマンションに住むのは初めて…

やっぱ景色はいいよね〜

I can see Shinjuku, H&M Harajuku, and Yoyoki Park from my balcony…ahh city life is here…

I finally feel like I moved to Tokyo.

ベランダからは新宿、原宿H&M、と代々木公園が見える。

なんかやっと東京に引っ越したって感じ…

Harajuku Nights

So we went out to buy some groceries and happened to stumble across the Sendagaya omatsuri festival!

冷蔵庫に何もなかったから近くのスーパーへ…そしたらなになに!?

Of course, that meant that it was time to street drink again!

千駄ヶ谷のお祭りではないか!!

Unlike the recent Yasukuni omatsuri, the games and booths here were a little low budget…

靖国のお祭りに比べてかなりしょぼかったけど…(笑)

However, they had live [...]

Uni

I love Uni sushi and sashimi. Yes, it’s sea urchin and yes, not all Japanese people like it either…

うにです!マジで大好き…でも高くて普段は食べられません。

However, I love it and so when I found it on sale at a local supermarket for 600yen, I felt like I hit the jackpot!

でもなんと参宮橋にあるスーパーで600円!ラッキ〜!
