The Chronicles of an English Expert...YEAH RIGHT!!: March 2008

I made my way over to Tokyo today to meet up with an old friend of mine, Asami. She recently found out that she is pregnant and is expecting her new arrival in November. A big congratulations to her!! Well, we met up around 11:30 in Shinjuku. We then walked over to Harajuku and had lunch (cold soba to be precise). I wanted to visit Yoyogi park, as it fills up with some of the most interesting people on Sundays, so we walked over after lunch. As expected, there were a lot of things going on...people dressed up in cosplay, live bands, skateboarders, dancers, and my personal favorite...The Greasers!

It was Asami's first time to visit the park on a Sunday and to see the crazy sorts that hang out there. We had a great time hanging out, walking around Harajuku, and catching up with each other. It's been about 3-4 years since we saw each other last. We first met way back in 1998, when she visited her good friend Wakako, in the Philippines. We've had some pretty funny and memorable experiences together in Manila (Halloween Party) where she disappeared by the end of the night and ended up sleeping on the street, and also in Bangkok where we somehow found ourselves in Patpong , and probably the most disgusting/disturbing experience either of us have had...NO DETAILS!!

Man...were does the time go. The older I get the faster it seems to go, which is true for pretty much everyone else too, I guess. I don't want to get myself too depressed so I'd better go ahead and post the pictures from today. Enjoy!
