I doubt you would believe me if I say that the sky is blue for almost the entire week so I’ll show you instead. Along with the sky are ofcourse topless British men showing off their very pasty white chests for the world to see. Still can’t quite believe that a week ago I was… Continue reading London now

The lego recreation
Just something a little different Lunch atop a Skyscraper – is a famous photograph taken by Charles C. Ebbets during construction of the GE Building at Rockefeller Center in 1932. The photograph depicts 11 men eating lunch, seated on a girder with their feet dangling hundreds of feet above the New York City streets. Man… Continue reading The lego recreation
Tree Planting
Tree planting with the local kids and farmers, the trees were planted at the edge of the farms to prevent further erosion to the soil. Needless to say the kids were much better at handling a shovel than I was. On the flip side we got more local coverage again. This little guy is my… Continue reading Tree Planting
Hamanaka Matsuri
Starting to feel somewhat rundown, have not really let my self rest through out this trip. We were lucky to be around when Hamanaka’s Festival was on. It’s a little town festival to wish for a good year during the seedling period, so small that it will never be on any tour group itinery. We… Continue reading Hamanaka Matsuri

The photo is actually my hand holding three… Continue reading On being fed (again)

Doing the work I have come to the conclusion that I am pathetic with the hammer, many a times one or both camera men came to my rescue when my nails were bent beyond repair… Continue reading Kiritappu diaries
Kiritappu Wetland
I’m typing this while staring outside the window of my bedroom at Pension Porch (quaint little pension, with fantastic food and a landlord who’s quite a character). Where I am geographically is more or less here. I’m in a little town called Hanamaka in Hokkaido, so remote that my Japan Lonely Planet guide mentioned the… Continue reading Kiritappu Wetland
Kushiro, Hokkaido
Arrived in Kushiro on Monday before making our way to Kiritappu. On one side you have the ocean, on the other winding rivers, and wetland. It doesn’t feel like Japan, or at least not the typical Japan postcard with cherry blossoms and tall high risers. One of the people in the crew likened it to… Continue reading Kushiro, Hokkaido
