Where the Wild Things Are: Barcelona

Night of the Spike Jonze movie in an outdoor theater at the Castell de Montjuic, then some good old foosball (babifoot). Te amo, Barcelona, abarazame, Barcelona.

Having Left Beloved Okinawa

The trip continues. Amidst crazy tragedy and wild tumult in Japan, Ileft Okinawa on April 5, where I lived for three years. I'll never forget all the wonderful people who I met there, and will keep this in my heart as I move on, in a similar way to when I left Australia back in 2008. I'm now at the home of the first friend I ever had (when I came back newborn from the hospital, she was there as a one-year-old) in Yokosuka, Japan.

My home, again, is wherever--but not just wherever randomly, but wherever I am. Wherever I am feeling myself, wherever I am able to skate, wherever I can make money, wherever I can encounter the good people and good ideas, eat the good food, breathe the good air, and be.

So here are a couple of photos from my last days in Okinawa. Big thanks to everyone I met, worked with, and spent time with in Okinawa. I'll miss you. What's next for Aki? Stay tuned for my next post...
