pokemondcard
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!

Back at the pad and hanging out with Bobby’s mate, and nature man Hyouma!

Then the doorbell rang, and kept on ringing as a few deliveries were made.

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

ciggies
Smoking at the dinner table? Sick!

pancake
Okonamiyaki!

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.
