Summertime

I don't have too much new to say. Weekdays are a wash because I'm at work pretty much all the time. Weekends fly by, and then it's Monday again. I've fallen into a rhythm. But I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing.

Summer in Tokyo has been disgustingly humid. It takes me just ten minutes to walk to work, yet I still manage to break a sweat. Ugh. But when I ask the locals, I'm always told that it's been a mild summer, and that its usually much worse. Hooray for climate change!

Peter K was here last weekend on a business trip through Tokyo and Taiwan. Did my best to show him a good time. Going to Summersonic in Chiba this Saturday. I'm most excited about the Cokehead Hipsters.

Picnicking in Showa Kinen park two weekends ago, before the fireworks show at night. The Japanese word for fireworks, 花火, literally means "flower fire".

Some guy brought his pet lizard to the park.

This picture is overexposed, but for some reason I really like it. Taken during a Sunday afternoon wander through Meiji Jingu.

I don't remember what was so funny. We did have delicious Indian food at Masala Hut soon afterwards, though.

On a Thursday evening bike ride with the Tokyo Design Flow crew. Maybe more on this later.

Use your imagination.
