Here’s a pic I took of one of one of my trains, the Nambu line, as it rolls into the station.
This line runs mostly through Kawasaki and Tokyo, but I took this photo near the border of Kawasaki and Yokohama…an area that reminds me of the Port neighborhoods in LA: San Pedro, Harbor City, and Wilmington.
There are lots of factories, warehouses, and refineries, but seems like less pollution than back home. Some Japanese people have told me this area can be a little dangerous, but seems pretty safe to me.
The neon sign on the building to the right is for a Pachinko Parlor. Pachinko is basically a Japanese slot machine, and they’re practically everywhere. One of my buddies is a “Pachi-Pro,” and makes a living playing Pachinko. More on that later.


I haven’t been in Japan yet, but I think I’ll try it.
Last August I was in Cyprus at Cyprus villa and it was nice. Low cost living with wide range of luxury, fabulous ocean. My girlfriend Celine and I were walking on the beach and enjoyed the beautiful sunsets, we had a great time during amazing Cypriot evenings, tasting wine. Even the owner of the villa was so kind and explained us where we can hire a car and have a good time.
