Astroboy in Asia: Tokyo Disneyland
http://mrcheslock.blogspot.com/2007/04/moving-to-thailand.html
April 01, 2007. Back in January, Hiromi and I took a day trip to Tokyo Disneyland. If you've been to the Magic Kingdom in any other of the Disney theme parks, then you've basically been here. It's not much different, other than the restaurants having a much wider selection of sushi and curry-rice than the other incarnations of Disney. Behold, the ironic commercial glory of Cinderella's castle at night! Let's go see Mickey! We're going to Disneyland! Oh well, it's Disneyland! Shopping at its finest. My be...

Astroboy in Asia: Beautiful Busan
http://mrcheslock.blogspot.com/2005/04/beautiful-busan.html
April 03, 2005. It was raining when we arrived in Busan(Pusan) from Japan. Matt decided that it would be a good idea to act like tourists, and check out the Busan tower. It was only a few stops away on the subway, so we got off at the nearest station to the mini-tourist trap and made our way up the many hills to get to the tower. Billy. I'll definetely have to check more things out in this country. Back to the tower. The Busan Tower, courtesy of www.hanatour.com. Posted by Blake at Sunday, April 03, 2005.

A street in Tenjin. More of the same. Does this look any different to you? Here's a small shrine that I found,. Actually, there was a lot of goldfish. A nice view of the shrine area.

Astroboy in Asia: Daegu
http://mrcheslock.blogspot.com/2005/09/daegu_12.html
September 12, 2005. So on Saturday evening, my buddy Alain and myself decided to check out Daegu. Daegu is a major city that's a little over an hour northeast of Ulsan on the bus. Daegu is a city of around 2.5 million people, so it's quite a bit larger than Ulsan. It definetely felt more cosmopolitan (well, by Korean standards anyway). From what I saw, people seemed to dress a little more stylish. As well, people seemed to look somewhat different. A picture of okonomiyaki that I stole from a random site.

http://mrcheslock.blogspot.com/2007/06/kfc-shaking-hands-with-colonel.html
June 03, 2007. KFC: Shaking hands with the Colonel. Just a funny picture of my meeting Colonel Sanders at Kentucky Fried Chicken in Oji, Tokyo. Nice to meet you, too! If you zoom in, you'll see what of the biggest problems with fashion in Asia. older ladies who seem to think that coloring their hair any colour of the rainbow is a bright idea (pun intended). Posted by Blake at Sunday, June 03, 2007. Thats some rare chance I guess. Good for you. Savor the moment. October 25, 2012 12:54 PM. Gaijinpot.co...

Astroboy in Asia: Tongdosa 동도사
http://mrcheslock.blogspot.com/2005/08/tongdosa.html
August 28, 2005. Since I was travelling with Alain, I didn't take my motorbike. We went by bus. Tongdosa is located in the town of Andong; midway between Ulsan and Busan. The temple complex is very large and impressive. Here we are in Andong, looking at the enterence of the Tongdosa complex. More of the same. Even the phone booths are cool here! This is a pretty stream. Let's go tiger hunting! I don't think that I'd get very far trying to canoe down this stream. Damn, I took a good picture! In the gate i...

Astroboy in Asia: Mom and Dad visit Japan
http://mrcheslock.blogspot.com/2007/09/mom-and-dad-visit-japan.html
September 08, 2007. Mom and Dad visit Japan. Back tracking and playing catchup a lot. mom and dad made it to Japan! Here we are at in front of the airport! I opted to take my parents to my place on the bus, so they would have a cool view of Tokyo. Here's a photo shot from the bus. They seems interested by the city as they tried not to fall asleep. By the time we got near my place, it was getting dark. The neon lights must've been shocking compared to small-town Canada! Bikes are a popular thing here.

Astroboy in Asia: July 2005
http://mrcheslock.blogspot.com/2005_06_12_mrcheslock_archive.html
July 11, 2005. David teacher asked June, an 8 or 9 (we're not quite sure) year old boy, this question:. How old are you? To which June replied:. Posted by Blake at Monday, July 11, 2005. July 06, 2005. I woke up at 12:30pm. I went to work at around 1:30, after stopping by a convienience store to pick up a couple of sandwiches and a couple of cool coffees for less than $3 CND. I prepared for classes (aka. surfed the internet for 50% of the time). Report cards are now finished. I'll ride my motorbike home,...
