Bobby won this card from a Pokemon game. I’m learning a little bit more about the whole Pokemon culture hanging out with these guys. Definitely not my thing but I’m beginning to get it.

It’s stinking hot in Japan right now and me being the loose fuck I am I had no idea it was going to be this hot so I packed winter stuff (lol). I had to buy some shorts!

We then had dinner with the fam at a local spot you’d never find unless someone took you there.

Smoking at the dinner table? Sick!

Horse! I’ve always wanted to try it and have been denied in the past. It tasted like bacon and has the texture and toughness of kangaroo.
