This is my favorite shot from 2007. In Flickr, it now has around 500 views, and around 20 people who count it as a favorite. May not be a big deal for seasoned photographers out there but for me, it’s a very big deal. What about you? What is your favorite shot from 2007?

Tokyo Tennis – Introduction
I live in Tokyo. I love Tennis. This is my blog.
Pictures from the TMS 2007
The pictures from the Tokyo Motor Show (TMS) 2007 are in! As expected, there were so many people, so many cameras. The girls, from the cutesy types all the way to the risque types, came in full force to draw attention to their merchandise. Oh and have I mentioned? There were cars too! And very…
What Typhoon?
Just realized a typhoon has passed Tokyo. That explains the heavy rains the whole day yesterday. That explains the broken transparent/translucent umbrellas I saw scattered on the streets of Ginza. That explains why several shops were closed. I should go back to watching Japanese TV. Ever since I got my cable TV, I get more…

Brought me back wonderful memories of my hiking trips in Kagoshima… up Mount Kaimon (922m) and the beautiful mountains of Kirishima… Mount Naka…
A Stranger Comes To Me
A stranger comes to me, showing me his badge. Asks me where I’m going. Roppongi. Asks me what I’m doing there. Work. Asks me for my passport. Alien Registration Card. Thank you. Weird.
Shinkawa Blue Skies
On this bright sunny Saturday morning, I visited all nine (!) bridges connecting Shinkawa to the rest of Tokyo. It’s a good excuse for an exercise and is also a good way of exploring the neighborhood. I see Shinkawa as a small “island” surrounded by bridges and rivers including the huge Sumida River to the…
Not a Beginner Anymore
This weekend, I did what I’ve always wanted to do ever since coming to Tokyo… I enrolled myself in a Tennis School! I searched the web for the nearest tennis school to my place and found the VIP Indoor Sports Club. I initially signed up for a trial beginners class (初中級) but they were keen…
Roppongi Hills and Zip Codes
I just learned today that each floor in Roppongi Hills has a different zip code. Yes! You read that right… each floor has a different zip code! 106-6101 is the zip code for the first floor while 106-6102 is the zip code for the second floor. The last two numbers indicate the floor number. How…
