just some stuff over the past week. my 4week trip to japan is in 2 weeks so i'm really looking forward!!!
The food.. was celebrating my uncle and aunt's birthday in a week. had some steak and a pork bagel for different meals.
An addition to my sneaker collection for the summer..
A random sunset picture while i had to drop my mate off at the airport
and in my suburb, we had this christmas carolling and fireworks night. summer christmas…
and finally a fit pic from the week..

@louisbosco Nice pics jeans are looking fantastic.

Here is the progress of my pair. 1 cold soak and 1 hot soak to get the size right. Had to use Obenauf oil on the patch after it became hard as a rock. These have been to two beer festivals, four states, brewed 3 beers, one tattoo and one minor motorcycle spill (not alcohol related fyi).
Cheers!

-
@twin Thanks mate. Cheers…
-

For the month of january, i'll be mostly taking the denime 66xx out and about for the world tour going on in superfuture while wearing my contest IH on and off. i'll still share photos of my jan travels in japan though.
And here we go.. First up landing in tokyo and getting to osaki where my hotel is.
I went out in search for a coffee place in harajuku area. it took quite a walk to find it.
Little Nap coffee stand. They're really well hidden in a small lane far away from the hustle and bustle. Tucked away among the residential building. Even the store interior was not huge, maybe about the size of a decent bathroom. However the coffee's pretty great. This place has been recommended by a mate who's a barista back in perth. The owner's rather quirky and he's got a couple of vinyl decks in the corner and many intricate stuff on display too.
to be continued..

continuing on, my first visit was straight to visvim and indigo camping trailer. I really hadn't plan on doing much today as i just arrived. just pretty much spent the day round shibuya and harajuku area.
And then there was lunch
one thing i realised in japan is that, there's plenty of european imports in LHD. came across this which i always wanted but in the 6x6 set up.
walked around a little more at night and having a early night before sightseeing tomorrow..
i'm still looking for a perfect vantage point for this shibuya crossing shot…
the denime 66xx pair i'm wearing for the world tour feels very different from my contest IH pair, perhaps it's the weight maybe. i disliked how the rise sat in the first place but i've grown into it.
-
great update buddy! @louisbosco …what´s in the paper bag though?
-
Great Pics, Thanks.

@Finn666 a pair of natural hand dyed Virgil and Lhamo shirt from indigo camping trailer.

-
Thanks everyone for the comments and views. now before i start posting, i wanna know what's the best host for videos? would it be youtube or something else?
and so Day 2 begins in Asakusa after my mate's flight arrived in the morning. Asakusa -> Ginza -> Odaiba
-
Some of the meals during the day. one of the best tempura's i've had. tucked away in a little corner in Asakusa
As mentioned before, picked up the rental GTR and went to odaiba before resting up for the night for fuji on Day 3
and always, a mandatory full body pic…
i'm pretty exhausted after waking at 5am getting up to go to fuji and such for a whole day out. hope you guys enjoy the little amount of photos!
-
beautiful pics @louisbosco - keep it up!
-
Got me hooked @louisbosco always love to see different views of Japan.
Some other highly recommended coffee shops BTW - https://medium.com/@wadeis/tokyo-filter-coffee-aka-third-wave-649fd73a7c0b. One has moved (Paddlers), others have opened more locations (Blue Bottle & Steamer). All are pretty amazing!
