Kentaro redux

Somebody upped a better version of the DJ Kentaro/Shinichi Kinoshita clip from NHK’s LiveJam last year. This is basically his best stuff so far, besides the Solid Steel compilation, so…

    Mitsubishi Triton for Sale

    June 3, 2024 /

    I love this truck and it’s actually been my only vehicle with twin 12″ subs, but daddy needs a minivan. The truck is registered in Bangkok, but is currently in Maha Sarakham, Thailand. It is a 2013 model. The engine is the 2.4 petrol version that runs on 91 gasohol or E20. I bought the car a year and a half ago because my Crown got ruined in the great floods of 2021. The engine is just over 200k and was inspected and overhauled when I bought it. It runs flawlessly. This is a fun car to cruise in and the air conditioning is ice cold. Battery was replaced this…

    Raw Liver at ลาบ ลับ ลับ ปรีดี 43

    June 2, 2024 /

    Either Taro or my cousin knew about an awesome Japanese street restaurant in Bangkok that serves raw beef liver – a dish once very popular in Japan that is now very hard to get (where it is available, single portions are apparently given out to customers in a sealed plastic container with origin/tracking information). Everything was excellent, but the liver, served traditionally with rock salt and sesame oil, was outstanding. Taro and I ate too much. The sashimi was also pretty good: It was very hot that night, but we had a blast:

    I cannot bear to use the actual spelling of the bar’s name, it just bothers me. There’s no denying they have one of the best views of Wat Arun at night, though. This is in the neighborhood of Wat Po, the famous massage school temple, just across the river.

    The Green VIP Party Bus

    May 30, 2024 /

    We just came back from a back-to-back four day trip to Pattaya and 8 day trip to Japan. I will try and document some of it here. The Pattaya trip was a 40-person corporate trip for my cousin’s company in Japan that Nam and I organized; it turned out well. It all started out with a double-decker bus we chartered to pick up the group at BKK. It was a pretty awesome setup and the driver, Noi, was very cool.
