Hi, there, Will be Los Angeles next week, as a Japanese fan the Little Tokyo definitely is one of the must-go-places for me in L.A., my hotel is on East 1st Street which is very near the Japanese Village Plaza, so my plan is not only to eat delicious food and do shopping and visit museum and  pray at a temple during daytime, but also to roam at night, maybe a KTV as well, so I’m wondering is it safe at night in Little Tokyo? I heard that place to the south of Little Tokyo is not safe at night (sometimes even at daytime) because there are many homeless people (with all due respect, not of ..read more

Most people have a dream of a campervan adventure and the freedom to travel through Australia. That was my first idea and dream as well. I had 2 months in this amazing country – after my research I realized how long the distances in Australia were between each destination.

Weary of the church, its pomp and circumstance, I went a roaming, Searching for a sacred place. I found a cathedral amidst the trees, Angelic singing at the ocean’s edge; Received wise council from a passing stranger, And found salvation in a child’s eyes.

Sin and karma caught up with the priestly class, Soon others tried to take their place. But the people had grown too wise And felt God in love and a smiling face ..read more

Everyone, it seemed, viewed Kånken as so much more than a backpack. It was an extension of the wearer – a symbol of something deeper, more unique. This required some kind of celebration. Because all this respect, love and arti ..read more
