Departing Bali

Descending into Bangkok

Here are a couple of videos I took of street performers in Kyoto, Japan. I got chatting to the hip-hop dude for a few hours, sharing beers and generally having a great time while I was wondering the streets alone. Good times.

I miss Japan!

I feel I’m slowly but surely getting more confident in front of the camera. I make the videos for you, so please leave a comment below if you want to see more videos, or think I should stick to text. Thanks!

Pachinko is a weird Japanese gaming machine used for amusement and gambling. Here I pull out the camera to give you an insight while walking around a Pachinko parlor yesterday. As you can hear, it’s extremely loud smokey and just dam right strange.

What is Pachinko? Here’s a brief intro to Pachinko from Wikipedia:

A pachinko machine resembles a vertical pinball machine, but with no flippers and a large number of relatively small balls. The player fires a ball up into the machine, controlling only its initial speed. The ball then cascades down through a dense forest of pins. In most cases, the ball falls to the bottom and is lost, but if it instead goes into certain pockets, more balls are released as a jackpot.
