PB

The dog and the bicycle (my bicycle was 'stolen' about 2 months ago and I actually got it back...but its a boring story for another day)

Taxis are preparing for the new law, soon passengers sitting in the back will have to put on their sertbelts...wait, what?

Praha '08

My one day out in Prague! Spent about 8 hours this day just walking around and checking out the city from the Old Town to the Praha Castle to the New Town area. Was a beautiful day with snow breaks in between as well as beer pit stops. One thing I noticed was the guys there look rough...and the women, I don't know where all those Czech beauties come from but maybe they all already left the country or have day jobs because I didn't see any. No points. What's weird is the airport really reminds me of Toronto, with all the street cars and just the way the sidewalks look next to the main roads. Really looked like the Finch area.

Oh yeah, first thing I was offered on this day out from a guy was...well this is how it went:
Guy: "would you like some heroine?"
me: "excuse me?"
Guy: "would you like to convert Euros to Czech Crowns?"
me: "oh...no thank you."
(a bit later)
me talking to my co-worker: "did that guy just offer us heroine?"
co-worker: "ya! that's what I heard too!!"

Swiss Air!


Via Zurich Airport
To a day out in Praha (this is where we were offered heroine)

Yes MIMO!



The World Famous Anatomical Clock. I didn't know but I think that's it down on the bottom of the picture. Definitely not doing any justice for this clock tower.


Charles Bridge


'Charles Bridge'

What is a Radar?


Actually ate at this place, Cowboys. They offer very nice fillets!


Praha Castle (The Church)


This is actually an Organ...One big Organ





Cobble stone streets everywhere





(on the other side of the 'Do not take it' card)



They had these benches with dragons everywhere



Apparently the colors of the sky change depending on the angle of the sun. Sounds very romantic.
My breakfast before heading back to Tokyo. Probably the flatest sandwich I've ever had.

Asian Tigers '07

A short excursion out to Hong Kong. Not as many skate photos as I hoped still an awesome experience. Learned a few words and forgot a few. Ollied into a big bank and tried to roll off a 4 stair only to slam and slide a few meters. Still have some burn scabs from it on my arm.

The photo travelogue: These photos are probably not enough to give Hong Kong any justice but anyways,

HOOOOO AAARRRRRRRRRR

Welcome to Aberdeen and many other touristic, local spots of Hong Kong.










I hope this is not too hard to see.
