My second time back at the Manyo Club hot spring baths in Yokohama but this time armed with the Lumix LX3. For those who are not familiar, the Manyo Club is an 8 story building located in Yokohama filled with leisure facilities and hot springs (O...

Been living in Japan for many moons now but was my first time to take walkies around Kamakura. Kamakura is located about 50km South West of Tokyo in the Kanagawa prefecture. The Kamakura area is a popular tourist spot for foreigners and Japane...

Disclaimer: This installment of Tokyo Photo Walk includes a few shots taken from the car. Maybe I need to start a "Tokyo Drive" category too ^^; The first pic today is my fave out of the whole bunch. Most of these taken on the Lumix LX3.

Its a lovely evening so thought we would go walkies around the Lalaport area at Toyosu - a nice place for shopping, food and an evening stroll. While we're out n about, I thought we'd have the usual chit chat. Tonight I'd like to talk about 'haters...

Its that time again - I'm looking for a full time developer to work with us at Mirai Inc in Tokyo to start in December 2009 or Jan 2010. Hope you don't mind me recycling this post (from Mon 2009/04/20 05:03 JST) as all the qualifications are the same...

Promise to write more photo articles once dannychoo.com is on Mirai Gaia which should happen just before the Tokyo Figure Show next month. In the meantime I'll make sure I at least do the A Week in Tokyo regularly or I'll loose track of my life - the...

Must have been the first time in years where I went a week without writing a photo article - yes its been that busy! No matter how busy I end up being however, regular meals is something that I dare not skip. Sushi is great because they prepare i...

Organizing Tokyo CGM Night with Andrew Shuttleworth has been a great learning experience. We've had 5 episodes so far and they seem to get better each time. Last nights CGM Night was the best ever!

This gorgeous 1/6 scale Kotobukiya figure of Yoko Littner is due out sometime this month and will retail for [currency=9450]. She some how landed in my lap while having a meeting last Friday ^^;

Didn't leave it as late as last time but still two weeks behind for this episode of A Week in Tokyo. About 80 photos to go through so this article will probably balk as usual with Google Reader and Firefox - click through to the article or read this...
