Hello friends. I’m in Kansai (Western Japan) right now, chilling with my cousin – sorry for the recent lack of blogs. I took the bullet train here a couple days ago and have been living the high life since: Universal Studios, Kyoto, and incredible food. The attitudes are different , the language is lax, and the gaijin are few – a different world entirely.

In spite of that, when I went out to okonomiyaki last night with Sean, I met a guy who knew who knew me through this site. My cousin asked me to do a flip outside the restaurant; I obliged. The guy started talking to me about tricking, and eventually mentioned about some ‘ankle strengthening video’ he had seen. I was cracking up. In the middle of downtown Koube, Kansai, Japan, I randomly met up with a guy who knew Dogen. LOL@THAT!
