hi friends! well, maybe some of you know it already but i've made a comic strip about the foreign student experience in japan. if you have time, do take a look. it's also in circulation through Mind the Gap, a newsletter for foreign students in TsukU.

Cheers!

summer woodstock

i just think that this is sooo... cool. i was riding my bicycle in the university one lonely day when i chanced upon this amateur rock band performing near the pond. there were only about 11 people (including myself) in the audience but the band gave it their all, sweating under the noonday heat and belting out song after song. i was just as impressed with the set-up which even had amps, and a sound control booth.

it was a nice break from the monotony of summer. (^__^)

summer pictures of Asakusa

I went to see the Sumidagawa Hanabi Taikai (Sumida River Fireworks Festival) yesterday with some friends. It was really great! I've already made a metal note to choose a nicer spot to sit in next year. While my purpose was to watch the spectacular fireworks display, I couldn't help but do some people watching as well. I hope you guys will like these pictures. cheers!
