WARNING: This update is massive!!@# (approx. 3MB)
Alright. I haven't posted anything in my xanga all summer, so to update I'm gonna post all my pics chronicling (is that spelled right?) all my swashbuckling adventures.
Some castle in japan that was rebuilt into a museum.
This is my dad wearing a funny rubber hat, while all the ppl in my tour group are giving him weird looks.
Ahh yes... outside the pachinko parlor! I lost 5 US dollars in 5 mins. Those bastard machines!
This is my parent's friend, TF, big pimpin. Check out those aviators, bucket hat, and gucci handbag. booyah.
The guys bein gangstaa in the subway station. Don't worry this was at 1am. Nobody was there fortunately.
BULLET TRAIN!! The bullet train we took didn't look this cool, but it was still pretty fast. Judging by the things whizzing by, I think we hit 150mph. Oddly enough, it was actually pretty boring. Bullet trains are eerily quiet. But, they're soooo cool.
The amazing view from my hotel room at Atami, hot springs area.
View from outside hotel. Again, amazing.
Fooooood. This was our 2 billion+ course dinner. See the little round blue thingy right behind the rice bowl? That's fresh baby squid served in spicy oil.. and it's raw. mmm tasty.
Japanese fine dining!
Do I look pimp or what? Don't answer that.
Nissan President, or in American-speak... stretch Q45! Only in Japan.
Night shot in Osaka. I'm amazed I got this one by setting my camera on handrail. I really should've brought a tripod.
Funky hotel.
Corolla wagon with 6 pipes!! Japanese fads always amuse me. Btw the front bumper was falling off.
Fountain in Kyoto.
Can we say Engrish?!
Fine japanese women!!! jk. Kimono show.
The young ppl of the tour group (i.e. under 50 yrs of age)
Just a cool perspective pic of a wall at some temple.
The view at the top of the ANA Gate Tower hotel. In the distance is Osaka airport (it's that little island thingy)
I convinced my parents to try FUGU! Apparently we didn't get poisoned since I'm writing this entry.
Setting off fireworks on a fake beach at Osaka. This was a weird ass beach. Instead of sand, the ground was covered in big 3-4" sized stones, which made it interesting to walk on...
Chinatown in Japan! They all speak Japanese. lol
At the beach. No comment.
This was soo awesome. We went to this place for sushi and it was insane. Everything was automated. Hot water tap is at your table, green tea in the left box, wasabi and ginger in the right, food on conveyor belt, and intercom to order or get waiter. It was like McSushi from the future.
Believe it or not, that's a parking garage! That thing is only wide enough for about 2 cars.
Police officer mackin on some fine ladies. muahaha.
Rickshaw in an alley.
Never ending row of little stores. This thing goes on for miles, literally.
Me and my buddy from Cornell at a tequila bar in HK. I'm definitely feelin it!
Me and the R33 outside hotel in HK.
Ahh yeeahh! I'm ballin in this one. Maserati Coupe and Quattroporte.
Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale with optional $4,500 handpainted racing stripe. I would die to drive that biatch! Definitely one of the sweetest sounding cars ever made.
Check out those escalators! 14 story mall in HK.
Bustin out the tunes with some HS buddies.
I feel like a natural woman! hilarious
A fobstacular pose.
Me and another Cornell buddy at Valley Fair. Yes, I know I look like a RETARD.
That's my dad holding my second cousin's baby at her house. His name is Jasper. Isn't he cute?
Sooo small!!
Note: That's my index finger.
Finally, this is me in the orthodontist office. No more braces!! w00t. Now I have to wear a retainer damnit.
Well, that pretty much sums it up. I'll prolly have more pics on the way later.
