It was a pretty interesting walk down the alleyway to the studio space situated on a converted floor of one of Tokyo's love hotels. The experience of walking through the winding corridors of the building past the brightly lit screens of themed rooms to find the front reception was an adventure in itself..

The West Coast Trail
We hiked the 75km trail from Bamfield to Port Renfrew (north to south), bathing in waterfalls, filtering drinking water from streams, singing made up songs (ask us about Ninny-Nat-Nat), sharing stories, eating delicious food (thanks Katrina), witnessing a bear, and bearing witness to some of the most breathtaking scenery that I have ever had the privilege to behold. There were challenges and triumphs along the way, blisters, the most delicious crabs, and the best damn burger you have ever had in your life!

Inconsequential though it may seem when looked at in the context of the universe, life has it's moments where our consciousness is elevated to a level that eclipses the scope of the universe...
Read MoreWestern United States Road Trip: Part 2 of 2
What a drive! All the way from Napa through the Redwoods (literally), by the ocean, into Oregon through Eugene and Portland before spending what remained of the night napping at a rest stop just outside of Seattle. It is a neat feeling waking up to a view of a city where previously there was only black...
