Food in SKorea + Japan

Some photos of what I ate during my adventures. By no means exhaustive because I ate way too many things for that. Featuring crab brains, pig’s feet and octopus crackers. Enjoy!

New Year’s in Tokyo: 28th Dec – 7th Jan 2017

10 wonderful days of adventure, friends, a chopsticks crash-course, and welcoming 2017 in with style. Mt. Fuji, unexpected singing solos, paddling in the Pacific Ocean and so much more that cannot even be put into words.
