NZ spearing, no wetsuit

Decided to attempt a dive in Breaker Bay without a wetsuit. Water temp was around 53ºF. I think we lasted all of 10mins before it felt like hypo was setting in. I managed to stone a fish, and we found some abalone, but needed about an hour to get our core temp back up to normal.

NZ Scallop Diving

Vic and I dove for Scallops in the harbor. It was a little challenging with the depth at around 25ft, but the visibility at about 1m or less, but we managed to get a few for dinner.

Kyoto from Kiyomizu

View of Kyoto from Kiyomizu temple. Trying to get a panoramic shot can be maddening with the sheer amount of people around your tripod, but the view is worth it.

Night in Akihabara

Its an interesting place in the day, but at night, it definitely puts on a light show.

おこのみやき madness in Tokyo

We went to a district of Tokyo that is famous for おこのみやき (Okonomiyaki), and more specifically, もんじゃやき (Monjayaki). Literally the entire street is all Okonomiyaki shops. I dont know how they all compete with each other, seems hard to have any sort of differentiation strategy, and yet they survive. Of course with a population density like that of Tokyo, I guess there is enough to go around. 

The ingredients are all brought to the table and you prepare it yourself. Surprisingly there is a sort of "technique" to it. I thought it would be difficult to mess up a pancake... apparently not, especially after a few Kirin's. After the meal you get ingredients to make a sort of Japanese Crepe. Again the technique is all you.  However, like most food in Japan, its all pretty damn amazing and I can never stop eating...
