Cool Places in Japan


If you saw the movie Tokyo Drift. You will recognize this place :P









Check this video I know is a little long but it is so amazing and impressive just in Japan!!!

Welcome to Japan :P


As soon as I arrived to Japan, I knew that something special will be in that country for me :-)





The first day I was in Tokyo I went to the Metro trying to get familiar with it and stop in the station called Tsukijishiro which is where the famous tuna options are going on. Sadly there were some problems with tourists and the market workers that suspended the visit to the options and I could not go take pictures and see all the huge tunas. So I took some pictures of the actual market.


It is impressive how everybody works so fast with so many people and so small space.












As you can see I found one of the funny characters on the famous electronic city "Akihabara" :-)











This is Mayumi, she was the nicest and more helpful person for me in Japan she hook me up with the special SICA card to travel the train JR and Metro Tokyo on a more convenient way.





Here is one of the unforgettable plates I try in Japan. Don't you think it looks OYSY?










Harayuku!!! notice in the back a couple of Harajuku girls :P

First day in Seoul, Korea :-)

Hello everybody :D

I am so happy to be here, the trip was a total of about 17 hours, 14 of them were from San Francisco, CA to Inchon, Korea.










Here is the first picture I took arriving to the airport, Korea is fairly easy to get around... :-)
I have been in a couple of traditional Korean food, delicious, some important streets, and clubs of course.

OK here are a couple of things that called my attention riding the bus in Korea...





The towing sings hahhaha...








The Car's plates...





Look at the signs, most of the time I do not know what they are marketing in Korea I feel like I really have to learn to read this characters.











Here are a couple of friends from the Hostel I am staying, these girls were from Singapore.. ;-)














This is a picture i took coming from the night club around 6:00am beautiful Seoul from the train crossing the river that divides the city.









And this is all for now. I have to go get some diner and rest for the week in Seoul :-)
