Week 1 in Japan (87 images)
It’s been a long week, with tons of paperwork, learning, eating, photos, and definitely walking. Traveling to Machida, Shinjuku, Shibuya and Harajuku were the highlights of my week; hopefully, I’ll remember how to get back there on my own. Like many people have said before, I’ve never been to a place that served junk food. […]
Food: Mankin Gyoza House
Tonight we ate at Mankin Gyoza House near the Zama train station, a favorite to many of my coworkers. It’s definitely a different take on gyoza when compared to the typical thin-layered gyoza served at most ramen shops. The wrap used to make the gyoza is a lot thicker, which gives it a chewier texture. […]
Lookback: One Last Sunday Ride (94 images)

Snapshot: Machida

It makes me a little more optimistic about Hawaii’s future rail system, but I know it won’t be anywhere […]
Featured: Lance’s Accord Wagon (40 images)
A day before I left to Japan, I had the honor of shooting Lance’s wagon. I’ve watched him build up this car ever since he bought it, and I must say, it’s come a long way from the stock, family station-wagon it was before. This beauty made its first appearance in 2004 at Hawaii’s elite […]
Snapshot: Car of the Night
Spotted this beauty tonight during my 3-mile walk exploring outside the base. So many sick cars driving around and just parked in random places. I’ve become quite tired of Skylines; it seems like every time I turn my head, there’s R33/R34 GTR or sedan driving by… The VIP scene is definitely booming in Japan, so […]
