 | Just putting a few finishing touches on the new layout. Looks good, don't you think? I do. Plus it loads a helluva a lot faster and | | smoother than the last one. That was a fucking mistake. People, seriously though, use Firefox and not IE. |

 | Well, I finally got everything polished and looking nice and uploaded, so once again Shibuya Daze is rockin' and rollin'! | | If anyone should notice a broken link or a page that is fucked up, let me know. I went over it, and I told Jared to also, but I have a sneaking suspiscion he never did... |

 | Well as you can see here, 80-90% of the site is up and running now. I am trying to get the rest up lil by lil. | | The final pages are not far from being done, but I am currently also designing another web site for a business, so my progress has slowed. |

 | So I got so frustrated and so upset with the older version of this layout and all its issues depending on your browser... Fuck all of that bullshit! | | I took what I had, threw it all out the window, and started over, with fresh scripting, fresh images, and a newer and easier menu to make browsing as simple as possible. |

Welcome to the new and improved Shibuya Daze
For those of you new to the site, it is the beginning documention of all my travels around Asia, from Japan to the Philippines, China to South Korea, and everywhere in between! That corner of the world is unlike anywhere else, somewhere you have to truly experience to believe. I could go on and on right now, but this is neither the time nor the place--simply browse around this site and try and get a feel for what the culture is like over there.
Yes, my love for everything Asian is unwavering; I have even known for years my wife will be Asian. The history of some of the cultures, particularly that of Japan and China, is aboslutely transfixing. There are countless ancient statues and monuments and temples throughout the area. Most of the food is downright phenomenal (and this is coming from someone who did not initially care for seafood, at least the American way). The party scene, especially in Tokyo and Seoul, is fucking incredible! And the women--oh wow, where do I even begin! They are the best! While American women care about their happiness, the Asian women put their man's happiness ahead of their own.
My girlfriend is actually Filipina, as a matter-of-fact. I met her on one of my trips to the Philippines, subsequently leading to several more trips that would never have happened in such short time, and putting on hold a couple planned trips to other countries. But from this point on, I promise to better document all my travels.
Over the next year or two this site will be dramatically expanded and enhanced, so make sure not to forget about the Daze. If you are familiar with Arudou Debito (formally known as Dave Aldwinckle) and his site, look for something along those lines--packed with information and stories--but also full of so much more! I'm talking pictures, videos, message boards, even adding a members section for other people to post their pictures and stories!
As far as what is new right now, I have already added in some Google maps to the Tokyo and Philippines sections, and am working on getting up some fresh videos from PI as well. There should be many new features and additions between now and the end of the year, but even more wild things will begin next year, just wait and see!

but when I became a man,
I took that child out back
and had him shot!"
