Jikatabi & Minimalist Shoes
When I travel, I like to pick up items unique to the country I travel to. On my last trip to Japan I decided that I wanted to pickup a pair of traditional Japanese footwear. This would eventually lead me to purchasing more minimalist style footwear.
Drinks of the World!
The following article is a list of some of the unique drinks I have sampled during my travels. The majority are regional drinks but some are just associated with the region or country. Since I am not a big drinker, most are of the non-alcoholic variety. I'll keep the...
Traveling to Antarctica
In December 2019 I will be once again traveling to the seventh continent – Antarctica. In preparation for this journey I decided to finally write my article outlining my experience from my first trip in 2010.
Hooked on K-Pop
My first exposure to K-Pop came every time my favorite Japanese R&B online radio station J-Jams Radio would go offline. After 6 months of listening (and it pains me to say this) K-Pop is superior to J-Pop.

Tokyo Treats
In my continuing obsession with everything Japanese I was made aware of a new monthly service that delivers uniquely Japanese candy and treats to my doorstep every month.
Tokyo by Train
At least half of my time spent in Japan was pre-arranged tours while the other half was independent travel and me wandering around Japan. The easiest and most inexpensive way to get around the massive megalopolis that is Tokyo is by train.
Hooked on J-Pop
Previously my exposure to modern Japanese music was limited to Yoko Kanno, Hajime Mizoguchi and Shanti Snyder and that was mostly through anime. As a result when my Otaku tour guide asked me if I was into J-Pop, I replied no as I associated it with the high-pitched...
Climbing Mt. Fuji
In May 2015 I was planning on hiking the Himalayas. However a week before my departure on April 25, 2015, Nepal suffered a massive earthquake scuttling my plans. Because I had spent the last few months training and 2015 was my year to visit Asia I searched my list of...
