My family came to Japan in early May. We traveled around and in Tokyo, Kyoto and Hiroshima.

おかえりなさい。。。

One of my friends – Etsuko – hooked me up with the link to some cool pictures of Japan by a photographer named Emanuele Nardoni.

[Journey With Japan - Video Release] [N.Williams 2010]

OH HARO!!!!

ごらん下さい

- – - Nicholas Williams – - – school teacher, weightlifting aficionado and friend has been asking colleagues in our area to come and check-out one of his work-outs for a while. Last Friday, I decided to take him up on his offer and went to watch him lift. Nick is a pure athlete. Not only is his skill proof of the previous, but more importantly his dedication is what makes him so strong. In my case, lifting with Nick was like a penguin attempting to fly with an eagle – i.e – fail. While I am not hoping to start a career in this sport soon, I definitely got many tips which can be applied to my own work-outs. If you think you are tough, or can push some plates (meaning: lift weights) then take Nick up on his offer. This little excursion was also a great way for me to learn a bit more about the more rural areas of the prefecture I live in.

Regarding the sport of weightlifting, or any possible misinterpretations of it or Japan let me just apologize in advance. My goal of this short movie was just to show my friends and acquaintances as well as the youtube community a little bit about my life in Japan.

Thanks for watching!

p.s any ideas for the next video?

[Japanese Fashion] – Unexploited Global Potential –

Why  is it so difficult to get the latest Japanese fashions when living outside of Japan?

A recent article in the New York Times by Hiroko Tabuchi discusses the barriers that many Japanese designers have encountered with regards to “going global”.

- How about Fashion Blogs – ? I posted links to three below. -

Style-Arena is a Japanese fashion blog which offers content in various languages. chekerouchyo!

An interesting independent one that I found recently is called The Tokyo Modernistas. Their blog reminds me of London Ontario’s very own D.O.F – peutetre le Japanese conecion Japonaise?
