Ready to Rock!!!
Yesterday we had a fairly manic day in the end! got up early and went to Yoyogi park, and checked out the people out doing their weekend activities. We saw a blind runners club, people slacklining, a guy practising tap dancing, a guy playing the Ukulele, people doing dance practice, kids doing sports, a hiking club learning to use poles and a guy ( Read more... ) -
Days 2/3
Busy, busy busy! Had an awesome couple of days so far. Yesterday we went to go to the Palace Gardens, only to discover that they were shut on Mondays and Fridays (open 7 days a week mr guidebook?

Part of it has been that I had family weddings to attend and conferences, but mostly I just like to travel! This year I've gone a bit mental, because I figure I should celebrate. It's not every year that you get the all clear ( Read more... ) -
So That's it All Done With Then?
I haven't posted on here for a while (since Kinetik last May in fact), something which saddens me, as I always preferred Livejournal to a lot of the more "immediate" social media sites.

Back
