All Releases for September 2010 in "Japan"

In many areas in Tokyo you can find a restaurant on almost every street, tempting you with appetizing aromas and delicious looking sampuru. But even with so many choices, there are some restaurants where there’s always a queue at the door, like this...

I want her as my teammate! Seeing that I missed the last league game because of the AMEX event, I vow to myself that I will do better this week compare to my first game. I did pretty much nothing during the first game (two weeks ago), won a game of 7...

Nishi-Shinjuku is one of my favorite strolling areas in Tokyo. First time when I visited this place, I liked Tochō (officially called Tokyo Metropolitan Main Building No.1) so much, that I forgot to take pictures with other buildings… I took this...

Here’s all the photo I haven’t post in the last post, I try to capture the ambiance of the show, and how many people show up, more cosplayers, mascot, bright colours and big TVs!

Bokeh (暈け or ボケ) is a a Japanese term for the subjective aesthetic quality of out-of-focus areas of a photographic image. It refers to those beautiful magical out-of-focus light, with different shapes and colors that you found in the background o...

…because I can, and it’s free xDDD Finally RBC benefits me instead of giving me headaches for a change. Let’s just hope they get to me quickly and safely *knocks on wood*

Okay finally doing my Hooters post. Well it was sorta a normal day until I have to run just to catch the bus. I NEVER drive to DT as the traffic is horrible and the parking fees are even worst. Kinda sucks that the price of a day pass is $12.40 now....

It looks delicious, although it’s wrapped in plastic foil… Yes, it’s not food, it’s sampuru, Japanese food plastic replicas, displayed at the Japanese restaurants. Sampuru are handmade, carefully sculpted, amazingly painted and customized for each r...

Another typical Japanese image, another Japanese railway crossing… This time, it’s near the Omorimachi Station, in Ota-ku. I love these Japanese streets, with colorful buildings and ads, compelling me to explore… Click on photo for higher resolutio...

Asahidake-1 A few weeks back we got a break from the rain and the ropeway at Asahidake dropped the prices for the off peak season. What better time to do some Asahidake Trekking. Normally the gondola tickets cost around 2,800¥ which is about $26 do...

So after the already awesome Hooters dinner with friends on Monday, I went to an even MORE awesome AMEX event where the new Gold Rewards Card is announced. At the beginning, I was in a little trouble because the taxi I called was like 5 minutes lat...

historia rebuscada si las hay, ayer me puse a ver la peli Air Doll cuenta la vida de una muñeca inflable (si si, de esas) que de un dia para el otro resulta que tiene un alma! y va descubriendo el mundo con sus cosas buenas y malas, mesclando person...

Many cultures have full moon celebrations, especially during the period near the autumnal equinox, the “harvest moon". In Japan, the Tsukimi (moon-viewing) is celebrated on the 15th day of the eighth month of the traditional Japanese lunisolar calend...

Just went to Hooters yesterday, and using epic to describe it doesn’t justify how AWESOME the event was. Anyway, will write a post and post pics later today. As you can see, this post is about the next 2010 anime season: Fall. Seriously I can’t beli...

A few days ago, a friend asked me about a representative image for Ginza… I think that this group of buildings, at the crossing between Chuo Dori and Harumi Dori, defines the richness and the brightness of Ginza. The glass cylinder is the San-ai Bui...

Since I am a huge geek, this sunday I went to the Tokyo Game Show. There was a lot of game to try out, and even more people who attended the event. I took a lot of photos, here’s most of the cosplayers I’ve meet. More photos will be coming soon!

Le week-end dernier avait lieu le Tokyo Game Show, TGS pour les intimes, et pour la 4eme année je m’y suis rendu. Malgré le manque de nouveauté, surtout compare a l’E3, le plaisir y est toujours. X-Box avait un merveilleux stand avec une belle mise e...

Higashikawa-101 The weather was so nice today, I couldn’t waste it by staying inside so it was time for a bike ride. My son and I set out around 12:30pm along the bike trails of the small village that we live in headed towards Higashikawa Town. The...
