Taiwan and Japan Recap

So hello, I’m back! I’ve been recovering from my trip (jet lag and a cold).

Taiwan was good, but the days went by fast. We (my parents and I) pretty much went there to see relatives, eat, shop, eat, ride the high speed rail, eat, shop, eat, and EAT. I took many photos of FOOD in both Taiwan and Japan. Unfortunately, I only had the camera on my phone and I have no idea how to get it onto my comp.

Japan was beautiful. We were in Osaka. Got to see many sights and eat lots of delicious food in good portion. I must sa...Read more

Giant Robot Biennale + Crash Mansion

This past Saturday, Daniel and I went to the opening night of the GR Biennale at the Japanese American National Museum in Little Tokyo. I didn’t realize it was going to be such a huge thing. Ran into a bunch of people! So I didn’t even really get to look at the artwork! Pretty much just talked with people the whole time >_

Hawaii recap

So Aiko and I flew into Hawaii last Friday night and stayed until Wednesday. Here’s a brief recap:

Friday night. We just walked around Waikiki and got some dinner and drinks at Duke’s. To our disappointment, the sashimi was horrible (tasted like plastic). But we probably shouldn’t have been ordering sashimi at a place where it’s known for steak and burgers. Ha.
