Futsal time! 3 comments

This is a quick video of my first time playing “Futsal” a sort of watered down version of football, in Tokyo. This has to be the most interesting environment i’ve ever played soccer in, with high rise buildings around me, trains in the background and super super cold weather. Check it out!

Passed through Jamrock for some Jamaican food this Sunday. Nice spot in Harajuku. Real Jamaican food in Tokyo!

Jerk Chicken Fried Rice. Asia meets Jamaican indeed.

Biggups to my father!! Leave a comment

I grew up in a household where I heard my father singing almost everyday. I was very happy to find a video of my father doing recent performances of two of his songs, “Faith can move Mountains” and “A brand new Haiti”. This is very moving for me, and lets me know you must always keep chasing your dream. His stage name is Jaguu Peke Yanguu, meaning “The One who walks alone”. Great Sunday night gift for me!

美しい東京 (Beautiful Tokyo) Leave a comment

These are some great shots I got at a recent party I attended. Guess I really am in Tokyo!

This is my favourite. Feels like “Lost in Translation” or something i’d see on a CNN website.
