The following is not actually a single narrative of one continuous evening, but a composite of many. It’s written as a representative summary of my average night out in Kyoto. Nothing is exaggerated. It’s Saturday […]
Ladies and gentlemen, I’m pleased to announce that this post officially marks the first time in almost two years that I’m actually writing about the country I’m in! Welcome, at long last, to Cambodia 😀
Peder and I left our pousada in Trancoso and started out for our day’s 30 km walk at around 11am. The plan was to follow the coast all the way to Arraial d’Ajuda, a neighboring […]

On December 20th of 2006, I received an e-mail from my dad. It contained this Powerpoint file. The forwarding messages all included such phrases as: “I CANT EVEN LOOK AT THE PICTURES WITHOUT GETTING DIZZY!!” […]
The Mega Trip Part 9 (The Great Wall)
With the land-based portion of my adventure through China nearly over, I realized that I was still missing a significant piece of what I wanted to see before returning to Japan. Kung Fu. So, after […]
Peder once told me, “A programmer is someone who would spend an hour now doing something that’ll save him five minutes later.”
It’s so true.
After years of traveling (and especially mistakes made and lessons learned on my trip to Brazil), I’ve slowly but surely pieced together what I consider to be a very effective way to prepare for an itinerary-free vacation.
For anyone out there who might benefit from my trials and errors, I present you with…

Due to a bad shoulder and wrist, my dad never does incline press with dumbbells unless I’m there in the gym with him. I place the weight in his left hand so he doesn’t risk tweaking anything while lifting it to the proper starting position. Friday was one such day.
Things were going nicely until he dropped the weights down – onto another dumbbell left from a previous set. His middle finger got caught between them, an injury I’ve sustained too many times in too many different ways. “Damn, I know how that feels – that sucks” I think to myself. Continue reading »
My intention after returning from Brazil was to settle down, complete a few lingering personal projects, and work for 4 or 5 months before returning to Japan in the summer.

There are now less than twenty-four hours until my life in Japan comes to an end. The perfect night for my first ever visit to Ageha, one of the largest clubs in all of Asia.
I’d been wanting to experience Ageha since I first heard of it over one year earlier, but each time I came to Tokyo there was something that stood in my way.
Not this time.

By total coincidence, it just so happened that Japan Lair, the online community created just last year by a PUA named Genki, was having its annual Christmas Party during one of the three nights that Peder and I would be spending in Tokyo.
The Venue: Butler’s Café, Shibuya.
The Cost: 2000 yen for foreigners, 5000 yen for Japanese
The Deal: All-you-can-eat, all-you-can-drink, and lots of fun.
