Travel: Places you're going, places you've been.

@Denman-John that’s great confirmation on some of the research I’ve done for denim hunting. The first fill day we have in Tokyo is going straight up to Ueno to hit all three Hinoya spots, and to explore that whole area. Just have to make sure I don’t blow the denim budget immediately. I’ve been lurking the Hinoya site as well as the IH Japan site for a general idea of stock. But I won’t really know until I’m actually there. In the end, I’m at a point in life where we could make this happen and I’m going to soak up every bit of the trip. Couldn’t be happier.

1000% agree with going to Ueno as well in Tokyo for denim, leather, drinking, great food, and everything. Just south of there still under the train tracks is 2k540 artisan market that has a chup sock store and many other cool things with handmade leather goods, umbrellas, and stuff like that.

@pechelman very cool! I’ve got some pretty specific photo spots saved in my maps around that area, too. Can’t wait.

[pechelman]

would love to see any photos you'd be willing to share @alexxedge!

[alexxedge]

@pechelman oh definitely! I absolutely plan to share.

Still Morocco....

The countdown has begun. Starting to get my packing organized for Japan. Started with the important stuff. Film inventory. I’ve also been watching the Iron Heart, Hinoya, Fullcount, and Samurai IG accounts for stock updates.

I am planning to Visit Agra, The famous Taj Mahal, Delhi and Ladakh in India during Christmas. I read this article about India https://gowithguide.com/blog/tourism-in-india-statistics-2024-the-ultimate-guide-5493 Got my hopes up.

@mhussy @Mister_Brue My wife and I spent a couple of months travelling around India a couple of years ago (Dec-Jan). If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask. You should definitely put Varanasi on your list of places to visit while there!

I’ll be close by as I’ll be flying to Nepal in early December.

@mhussy That sounds incredible. I spent a month in Trivandrum in the south of India a few years ago. I found it quite nice. Lots to see and not as crowded as the central and northern regions from what I understand.

So far since leaving home, we have spent a night on a plane, a night in a hotel, and tonight it’ll be a night on a ferry. But then we will be where we are meant to be…..Romblon Island…

Looks cozy. Who gets the top bunk?

Batangas is like any large ferry port serving a load of offshore Islands....

And, at about 03:00 this morning we arrived at Romblon Island, just the 1 hour or so in our chariot to go....

@Giles love the Philippines and especially the people!! If you hear a guy yelling taho in the morning try and grab some and maybe you'll get he fabled Batangas strawberry taho!

Ooh, something to look out for. Thanks...

Started my first adventure of the month here in the beautiful Andes Mountains of Chile! The views are breathtaking, and the weather was just right — clear skies, sunshine, and a nice cool breeze made it ideal for trekking. Really enjoyed hiking through the rocky paths today. Huge thanks to my local guide from https://gowithguide.com/chile for being such a helpful and friendly companion along the way!
