8r4d Back on the train again for our last full day in Tokyo (until the ended of the trip, of course)

Your #japan phrase of the day is:

私にできること

or watashi ni dekirukoto which roughly translates to an empowering “these things I can do” which for me this morning was translating/deriving this phrase from a liquor ad on the train, which is something that I can apparently do now.

8r4d I have been spending my down time in Tokyo documenting: posting here, obviously, but doing some light journaling and compiling my video clips. I have also been trying to caption the videos so that if you click the caption button to on there are some light descriptions of what is going on.

Maybe some day I’ll work up the courage to narrate my videos, but for now this is the best your gonna get. [read more...]

8r4d Both my SLR and sketchbook got a workout at Hamarikyu Gardens …so if you’re tracking this feed live you’ll need to wait until later when I download the best shots. We’re hanging out here at Monday lunchtime in #japan (Sunday evening back home) in a queue for kubuki theatre performance in about half an hour. Definitely no photos of that, tho! [read more...]
