For my March vacation, I originally thought of flying away from all the coldness of Tokyo to a place warm and exotic like Vietnam, Laos, and/or Cambodia. Then I remembered it’s recession time so I decided to save some money and stay in Japan. My press release will say “I need to watch my carbon…

Nippori to Narita in 36 Minutes
It looks like travel time from my place to Narita will be reduced by a whopping 15 minutes (!) although admittedly, the idea of saving 30 minutes (round trip) a year doesn’t sound very fantastic considering I only fly abroad about once a year. NRA Website (Japanese)http://www.nra36.co.jp
Highlights of my Philippine Trip
Sending the highlights from my last Philippine Trip.
Three Famous People
We met three famous people in Tagaytay this morning. Tim Yap, Raymond Gutierrez and KC Concepcion. 😀
No Broken Elbows This Time
I’m back! No broken elbows this time! Snowboarding is a lot better without the injuries and with good snow! I had so much fun to that point that I am now considering buying myself my own equipment. Here’s looking forward to more snowboarding trips this winter.
We will multiply the trouble
At a cash register of a souvenir shop in Sea Paradise, Yokohama. I’m scared.
Escaping Tokyo
Well not really. We were still in Tokyo but the scenery is very unlike Tokyo. Today, we conquered Mount Takao (599m), which is probably the most accessible mountain err hill from Tokyo.

Amazing Kagoshima

When Rico Gets Bored…
He takes his bicycle and goes places. You can see how bored he got this week.
Flying Back To Kagoshima
I’m flying back to Kagoshima. Not for good though. I’ll just be there for four days. I already have my plane and hotel reservations. The only thing left for me to do is to get the necessary days off from work and maybe get some Tokyo omiyage for my Kagoshima friends. I miss those people.
On The Road To Recovery
A week ago, I went snowboarding in Nozawa-onsen, Nagano then shit happened. I fell on my back and apparently, my right elbow wasn’t strong enough to support all seventy-five kilos of me. As if that wasn’t bad enough, it had to happen on a Saturday so I had to spend the whole Sunday wandering around…
Travel Cafe Philippines Tokyo Shop
Long have I searched Tokyo for a Filipino restaurant/cafe where I can proudly take my non-Filipino friends. Kainan in Roppongi is one of those places (and we do love the food and the warm hospitality there) but when compared to the Thai or Indian restaurants in the area, it may look a little too “small-business”,…
