Brought these to work today. I think they topped the Gorilla’s boogers. The Jingisukan ("Genghis Khan") flavor was voted the most disgusting of all. I didn’t manage to finish any of these.
My new wide-angle lens, which I used a lot during the trip.

I was pretty disorganized during my trip and did not upload all the photos and videos. The complete albums for Day 1 and Day 2 are up now. For those who have been following my Flickr, there are not a lot of new photos but I added many videos.
Japan 08 Day 2: Ueno Seafood Don, Ikebukuro Ramen, Mos Burger
I made an effort to take lots of videos during this trip, since most of you have seen too many of my repetitive Tokyo photos in the past. Editing videos takes time, but it is a good way to fight jetlags.
The Gifu Gang (less Steve) & Co’s went on a picnic @ Trout Lake Park.
- Everyone including myself was traumatized by the miso ramen, soup curry and lamb candies I bought from Sapporo.
- The weather was very nice and the guys (Ben and LX) did a great job organizing it. We now have a pretty solid TOBRING list for picnics (NAPKINS!).
- Ema gave LX the evil look.
- I gave Ben and LX the most expensive birthday gifts.
- I first heard about the horrifying greyhound stabbing news. I am way behind in news.
My new bag/camera bag. See the setup here.
Woke up at 2pm, missed Batman iMax. At least I had all my unpacking done today.
Re-watched Before Sunrise(1995) and Totoro(1988) today. Masterpieces. Going to watch Before Sunset(2004) and Spirited Away(2001) later.
Back home in one (bigger) piece.
