Motorsports, travel, and random photos from around the world. Rally driver, car #91 in ARA National L2WD. Life is too short to just sit around and wait.

Post-quake, letting off steam

The 3/11 quake was a very strange experience to live through. While we certainly had nowhere near the rough experience in Tokyo that others did up north, it was still... confusing. So friends and I did what young idiots do and drank all night, and then snuck up to the top of my building to watch the sun rise.

Cat cafe

With some friends in Tokyo post-3/11 earthquake. It was like a ghost town... but this cat cafe was mildly interesting.

Drinking with some doctor

I have zero recollection about how this came about.

Prepping for a run

I'd go to the top of my building at the time for pre-run stretching. The endless expanse of Tokyo in all directions used to get me in the mood for exercise, for whatever reason.

Running in the snow

This snowstorm had me stranded in the UK for 2 weeks.

Ice bar

A popup event that was held for a few weeks when I first visited Japan. Was cool (pun intended).

First apartment in Tokyo (workspace)

If I wasn't working in some coffee shop in central Tokyo, I was probably working from here. Untold amounts of (unholy) JavaScript was constructed here.

Walking home

Pretty sure I'd been out all night drinking...

Exploring

Final days in the area, just randomly roaming.

First apartment (view)

I remember it randomly started snowing one day, wish I had a photo of that view.

A generic apartment. The TV is on the weather channel, and three striped shirts hang from a hanger.

Climbing

I'd always wanted to free-climb one of these, and I decided to just do it when we were driving across the country. Apologies to my co-driver, who I made wait for way too long when I got stuck up there.
