ヨッピちゃん／ヘッス君

a day out with my man Keiji

I met Keiji last year, and he was kind enough to let me store some of my stuff at his place when I went back to Holland.

I hooked up with him again, he recently bought a big-ass Toyota truck, and he invited me to hang out and drive around a little bit to the outside of Tokyo, and do some fishing; one of his biggest hobbies. It was good to get out of the city for a day, Tokyo can get a little claustrophobic for a small-town-white-boy like myself.

Keiji-san's pride n joy



JP style reverse driving



We went to this big second hand store in suburbia, where they sell all kindsa shits.

I need to buy this robot sometimes



Firearm laws aren't that strict in Japan



Japan-steelo van tuning



Of course we didn't catch shit in the middle of winter




Big up to Keiji for letting me drive! first time behind the wheel in Japanland

would you get a haircut at this place?

reminds me of this scene from 'La Haine' (skip to 2:00)

Fuck a Super Mario warpzone

Doraemon's どこでもドア (doko demo door - door to where ever) is where it's at!





Doraemon and Hassle are fo the chidrun

Life is like a dice game

But I'm in it to win it.

Damn shame this one didn't make it on Illmatic.

yeah, on a daily basis

Fujimidai!

Is the area where I will be living for the next 2 months. Nice n quite area in the Nakano district, but still only 30 minutes away from the downtown craziness. There's lotsa small restaurants (way cheaper than the ones downtown), a big supermarket and a decent 100 yen shop, where you can get all the daily essentials (any broke-ass cracka's favorite shop).

Sakura Hotel is for the childruhn

so is Wu Tang

Back in Holland

well, sorta kinda. The embassy is technically Dutch soil. I had a meeting with Jan-Emile from the economic department. I have a business to run yo. JP = work hard, play harder.

This is the main office:



The ambassador's residence:



The Tokyo Tower is just a stone's throw away.



Oh yeah, I got the new Clipse album yesterday and I was rockin it on the train all day. It's funny how these albums grow on you. I hated Hell Hath No Fury at first, but it's pretty much a classic for me nowadays. The new one has some joints on it that made me head nod on the train.

Japanland: we back!

I flew into Narita Airport yesterday. It's good to be back. Imma mellow out the jetlag for a couple days, and then I'll be on a heavy grind. The blog is gonna pop off too.
