Blue Sky Typhoon


The view of this weeks typhoon as seen from the roof of my apartment building. Have to say, nothing seems to clean a cities air better than 45mph winds do.

All in One

Just a sink, right? Wait there is an automatic soap dispenser on the left, a faucet to the right, and a hand dryer on the back of the sink. However this sink was not found on board a space ship, rather it was found in a Japanese library.

14 Hours of Tokyo Disney

Imagine 14 hours of Tokyo Disney. From 8AM to 10PM the world was Mickey Mouse, endless flavors of popcorn, and ride after ride. By five in the evening giant erupting volcanoes, human sized cartoon characters, and endless fun was reality.

It all reminded me of another place. A place where Mickey Mouse’s name is Kim, where there is no Coca Cola, and where pictures are usually not allowed. Yes most would say the two are nothing alike, but then again most couldn’t sit at the top of Splash Mountain and remember how similar it felt at peak of Mt. Geumgangsan.

Slightly Distracted

While singing a made up Enka ballad and riding my bicycle up a hill, I heard a siren. It was an ambulance.

While singing a made up Enka ballad and riding my bicycle up a hill, I saw an SUV. It was white.

While singing a made up Enka ballad and riding my bicycle up a hill, I saw a man. He was flying.

For you see, when the women in the SUV turned onto a side street, to make room for the ambulance, she was not paying attention to the man crossing the street. The man who was crossing the street was looking at the ambulance and not paying attention to the SUV.

The man got up, the women stopped. The man was upset, the women apologized.

As for the ambulance, well it stopped and the paramedics went to work. However, I had to wonder whether there was anymore room in the back of the ambulance.
