Just wondering if anyone is still around this quiet world about instant ramen? ^^;

Anyway, can you identify the 101-story building on the picture? If you can, then maybe you can get a hint of why I’m gonna get back into blogging, how I may spin a bit from the previous mostly-Japan blogging. A lot has happened since I stopped blogging two years ago, and I wish to get back to what has happened in the last couple of years.

If you’re still around, hope you can drop a message, maybe I can check your blog and see what you’ve been up to lately! I’ll get into more details soon — prepare for it! ^_~

PD/ If you haven’t guessed yet, it’s Taiwan’s Taipei 101, one of the tallest buildints in the world =)

There’s not much left to say, it’s a tragedy and it is very sad to know this has happened in Japan.

The image shows a scared Panda grabbing a police officer’s leg. Which is in no way related to Japan because it’s just a random panda in China, as one reader pointed (thanks, and sorry about it! O_o) but I was foolish enough to believe on the internet shenanigans. Anyway, great picture to remind us that we humans and animals are sometimes pretty much the same: instincts, needs, even society sometimes, and the need to hug someone!

I had initially thought that it wasn’t so bad until today where reports and videos are even more shocking. Here is one from a closeup view:

All my friends are safe fortunately, a small positive thing. Life is so fragile!

Metal Gear Solid: Old Snake Cosplay. A little too young I think, but besides that, a pretty good one =)

Just reminded me that the PSP installation of Metal Gear takes place in 80′s Costa Rica (my beloved country!), with all the war against Nicaraguan dictatorships and stuff. Wondering how they represented us! ^^ I should play that one!

Hi there ^^,

Just wanted to let you guys know that the video game me and my brother made, Wind and Water: Puzzle Battles is now 100% FREE for PC. Here’s the trailer:

Download here.

The game was released for Dreamcast and for Korean handheld consoles in both English and Japanese, and we hope that you can play it too (for Free!)

It is a puzzle doujin soft / independent game which I’m sure you’ll enjoy ;D

Anyone watching Bakuman? Basically it’s an anime about two high schoolers who want to get serialized and have their own animé before they’re 18 — pretty ambitious huh? ^^

Reminds me back in the day when I wanted to draw manga and create video games too. Seemed almost impossible at the time but hey, I ended up creating my own game, Wind And Water, along with my brother.

Here’s the trailer video for the Dreamcast and Japanese release if you’re curious about it:

Just remembering the thirteen hundred thousand lines of code that it took me makes me feel nostalgic about it. Maybe I’ll go back to making video games one day…

Found this image of a (quite shady) ラーメン大学、which means Ramen University. I’d be kind of scared to go in there though, do you think it is legit? ^^

Goes nice with my blog’s theme and all, Instant Ramen!

Speaking of which, my Japanese teacher told me that all chefs in Japan need a license in order to become cooks, just wondering if this applies to small ramen shops too. If so, where do they study? Here I guess!

Thanks to Neta

I must say, I love to play my Nintendo DS. But having one for breakfast would be epic, don’t you think? Still wondering how they manage to create such a fine toast (if it’s real that is). Any ideas? ^^

Different airlines in the world have different kinds of foods. Take a look at what United is serving. JAL and China on the other side look delicious! Most airlines, however, have really made an effort in recent years to make their grub a bit more palatable. Some refined airlines have even improved the presentation! While some airlines make no effort to provide for vegetarians or vegans, other airlines like United give you many delightful options. Asian vegetarian? Kosher? Whatever you feel like! ^^

A flight, whether long or short, should be as enjoyable as possible, regardless of the food. Take a good book and a DVD player if you don’t have one of those televisions in-built in the seat in front of you. Bring games, a notebook, and a magazine to happily while the time away. Write a To Do list, or plan your next party bets moves or draw up a guest list for your next party. Write the postcards you forgot to send while on holiday! Do whatever you like to make the most of your time onboard. Enjoy the meals– even if you don’t like the main course you might love the dessert! Never say never.

Korean Air’s mineral patch looks delicious! (Here’s a Starcraft Cake in case you didn’t get the joke ^^)

Last time we had some Ninja Golf going on. Well, today we have some Ninja Tennis ^^ nice work on that shadow!

Remember I used to love tennis back in the day… haven’t played it for years but would definitely love to do so again, maybe when I’m rich? (Working on it) Nothing like volleyball, though… Natsukashii~

We’re all very tempted to think that a game like Ninja Golf is unpossible. Well, guess what, it’s not! And no wonder it’s related to Atari, a company that played an important role in the 1983 Video Game Crash. Here’s an animated GIF in case you’re wondering how the game looks like ^^

So, waddaya think?
