Snapshots from the life of a lawyer. Editor’s note: The previous post. Detailing our last days in Japan, omitted a rather crucial detail our nearly-botched mission to return Shawn to Canada. The first few paragraphs. Have been updated to include that story. You may not be familiar with the wonder that is the jeepney. Imagine a jeep crossed with a limousine, add a dash of minivan, emblazon a name across its front, paint it a garish colour, and festoon it with decals, signage, and occasional filigree a...

Snapshots from the life of a lawyer. It looks like she had a pretty great time, notwithstanding our naysaying. Surely the psychological cost of facing the malevolent seas with leaden-lidded eyes was a great one, but Kat overcame the odds and returned to us alive and in good spirits. Kat’s scuba instructor giving the universal symbol for get out of the water”. Where you might see placid water, Amelia sees only doom. Kat received a certificate in recognition of her great sacrifice. That paints sort of a gr...

Farewell to Hong Kong
http://blog.christopherscott.ca/travel-update-farewell-to-hong-kong
Snapshots from the life of a lawyer. Travel Update: Farewell to Hong Kong. Our remaining days in Hong Kong were spent on school and socializing. It was a pleasant shift from the pell-mell touristing and travelling of the previous few months. Our little apartment on the eighth floor of a low-rise (for Hong Kong) waterfront building had begun to feel like home. I imagine that you are anxious to behold the luxury of our accommodations. Well, here you go:. Snarking at the cramped quarters and ludicrous cost ...

You may have noticed that people the world over celebrate this late-October event by dressing up in elaborate costumes and begging strangers for c...

Kyoto, Part 2 - Christopher Scott
http://blog.christopherscott.ca/travel-update-kyoto-part-2
Snapshots from the life of a lawyer. Travel Update: Kyoto, Part 2. After our sojourn in Tokyo, we proceeded to run along the length of Honshu (the Japanese mainland) again, this time with Shawn in tow. We were excited to revisit our favourite places and see some new ones along the way. We weren’t so excited that we were willing to get out of bed early, though we left our hostel in Tokyo around noon. Lit using traditionally-generated electricity, I imagine. We were drawn to Gion by Gion Corner. All seven ...

Kansai Region - Christopher Scott
http://blog.christopherscott.ca/travel-update-kansai-region
Snapshots from the life of a lawyer. Travel Update: Kansai Region. Our remaining days in Japan were carefully portioned out, and would be mostly dedicated to Tokyo and Kyoto. We had one day free to explore the region, though, and we intended to use every last moment of it. In one day, we would set foot in four cities, all in the Kansai region (in the neighbourhood of Kyoto). In case I am not being sufficiently clear, that day is the subject of this post. Hold on to your hats. Kat’s travel guide had once ...

Kyoto, Part 3 - Christopher Scott
http://blog.christopherscott.ca/travel-update-kyoto-part-3
Snapshots from the life of a lawyer. Travel Update: Kyoto, Part 3. On our third and last time in Kyoto, Amelia and Kat were possessed of a single purpose: wearing fancy kimonos. We also planned on seeing the sights and introducing Shawn to our favourite parts of the city, but all of this was secondary to our central kimono-related goal. But for the most part this post is an extended exercise of my spousal prerogative. We had many fancy options to choose from. The result was very nice fancy, even! They ha...

Tokyo, Part 2 - Christopher Scott
http://blog.christopherscott.ca/travel-update-tokyo-part-2
Snapshots from the life of a lawyer. Travel Update: Tokyo, Part 2. Our last few days in Japan were each dedicated to a single purpose. The first was a day of leisure (or, at least, that was the plan). The second was less about the usual monks-and-temples and more about mice-and-castles. That’s right we were off to Tokyo Disneyland! Green tea mochi: breakfast for the discerning traveler. What followed was a mad dash through the Tokyo metro system. This was somewhat frustrated by our inability to under...
