No trip to Japan would be complete without a visit to Karaoke – or so we’ve been told. My mom’s cousin, Tatsuyuki, met us at our hotel and we ventured to a Karaoke spot – an 8 story high building with small rooms along small hallways, accessed by an even smaller elevator. When we entered […]

We were told to go to the Tsukiji fish market on our first. The jet lag would actually help. Sure enough, we ere up at 4AM – no alarm needed. Unfortunately, you have to be at the market by 3:45AM to see the tuna auction – and the subways don’t start working until closer to

We tried our best to fight the jet lag. We went to bed at 11PM, but awoke at 1AM, 3AM and finally at 4:30AM. So we headed to the Tsukiji (pronounced Ski-G) market to meet up with Jen and Austin. We enjoyed some fresh fish at a hole in the wall joint for breakfast –

We made it! We left SFO at 11AM on Sunday and after 11 hours of travel we landed at Narita – 2PM on Monday. Time travel! But seriously, I’ve almost been up for 24 hours. I’m kind of delirious but forcing myself to write this in the hopes of getting over my jet lag! The

My grandma turned 92 a few weeks ago. Yeah, 92! Like a boss! We (Stace and I) decided to take her to the symphony for her birthday, so I was back in Seattle over the weekend. Since neither Stace nor myself are avid symphony goers, we opted for the Cirque de Soleil version. A partial

While at WDS, I attended a meetup. This is huge for me, folks. I went totally alone. Thankfully I had my trusty camera to throw in front of my face in case I needed to be anti social. Don’t worry, I ended up meeting more people on that 1 walk than the entire weekend combined

Best kind of test. Hands down. While in Portland, we were told by numerous people to check out Voodoo donuts. It’s quite popular and the birthplace of the bacon maple donut. Nick and I have already experienced multiple bacon maple donuts, but it behooved us to check out the original. We hadn’t planned on stopping
We went to Portland to attend the World Domination Summit. Your mind just went 1 of 2 ways – Pinky and the Brain or 50 Shades of Grey. Right? The World Domination Summit has nothing to do with either of those 2 things (thankfully). The best way to describe it? A ton of people who
After spending the 4th in Seattle, we headed to Portland to attend the World Domination Summit (more on that tomorrow). I hadn’t been to Portland since I was pretty little – sub 10 years old. My most recent Portland memories involve annoyance with the traffic. We ALWAYS hit Portland rush hour traffic on our way
