So here are some pictures of 2012 so far. First are some random, yet wonderful times with friends.
This kid's, Ryo, house was ridiculous. It was like being at a New York apartment in the 90's. Biggie figurines, turn tables, tapes, and about 1000 records.
My friend Eric. We rented dogs for 10 dollars an hour. Strange? Yes.
A good looking couple. That's all.
This car defines Japan. The most tricked out van ever. I always hated vans in America, but now I love 'em, and this is the chillest ride ever. It belongs to the guy in the following picture, Naoki. The flyest person I know.
Fashion mag left, too tired right.
One of my last times on the mountain this year. A great day.
I went to Tokyo with a friend, and this was the shot of Mt. Fuji from the plane. Cool, huh? Japan is so small. It's tall, but I went coast to coast in an hour.
The recent trip to Kyoto...
I like this one, in the subway.
At the Silver Pavilion.
So, breaking Wiggin tradition, I read the brochure on this place. In the back is the Silver Pavilion, and in front of it it sand. The mountain represents Mt. Fuji, and the sand is the ocean.
So the cherry blossoms were quite open. Too bad so sad (shoganai). This is the Philosopher's Walk in Kyoto. It was real nice, filled with Chinese, Germans, mom and me ;)
Yep, the dude was here, killing it. This was a fantastic dinner in Kyoto. Everything was grilled on a stone hot plate, and these were prawns about the size of your hand. The dude loves the food, can use chopsticks, and works WAY too much....he belongs in Japan.
So this is funny. These geisha were probably fake. Fake means that regular people get all dressed up like geisha and cruise the streets and take pictures with people. But I've heard even most Japanese can't tell the difference between real geisha and fake ones. But I'ma go ahead and make this call.
Mom and I at Kyomizudera. It was cold, but nice, and packed with people.
Not the best picture of the three of us, but you get the picture.
A king size Westin bed for me. Thanks Sissy and Dad :)
So that's about it over here. Spring is coming and I will update some pictures of the cherry blossoms. I am contracted at work until November, and after that I don't know. Might not be coming home right away, but who knows.
Wishing everyone the best. HAPPY SPRING!!!
