Just curious: Have you had many, if any, run-ins with poisonous insects/arachnids so far? That's the one thing that would freak me out, are the poisonous creatures down there. heh

Haha, yeah, I heard of some spider being down here as well, but I think most of the huge creepy stuff is further up north where it's a bit more humid and hotter. I've yet to see even a roach down here just yet, and the place where we live isn't the newest of places. So generally speaking, it's not too bad (again, I hear there are some massive roaches up north), though I'm sure I'll see one of these things sooner or later.

Biggest annoyance so far are the damn flies in the summer. They're vicious here -- they'll continually fly right in to your face for whatever reason. I quickly learned the "Australian Salute" when I got here (swatting away flies that continually land on your nose, eyes, lips, etc).

Quote from: Joe Redifer on 05/22/2009, 02:45 AMInstead of pictures from around my area, how about video? Here is a bunch of video footage I shot and edited around my area of dwelling; Denver, CO, USA:

"HD" Version:
Normal Version:

I'd love to make recordings like that but since I live in london my camera would probably get snatched from my hands or.. i'd probably bump into the local police who'd accuse me of suspicious terrorist activities here.. Something like that happened on the news a few months ago where some community police made some german tourists erase the photos on their camera citing terrorrist activities because the tourists were taking snaps of the public transport buses>.>

Because Youtube's version of HD is only 853x480 which is just 16:9 standard definition. But for Youtube, it is HD compared to the other options.

Tats, nice pics! I am guessing you live in Japan, or at least a block or two away from it.

Actually that is not possible because people in Japan are way too cool to talk to us commoners. Why are not ALL pictures copyright by you? Did you steal them to impress us? I bet you did!!!!!!

Interestingly, Tats was telling me that the folks below are trying to clear the beach of medical waste that washes ashore on a daily basis:

/p1090554b.jpg

Apparently, each year, fewer and fewer people volunteer to clean the beaches. As a result, most people avoid the polluted beaches of Japan, save for a few brazen surfers.

Tatsujin · 01/03/2010, 09:50 AM

Joe Redifer · 01/03/2010, 11:42 AM

Medical waste? But that would mean there are drug users in Japan. That's impossible! I can imagine maybe piles (or boatloads) of cigarette butts washing ashore since everybody and their child smokes in Japan for whatever strange reason, but stuff like syringes and the like?

I looked through my photos and realized I don't have too many shots of downtown Milwaukee...probably need to get out there with my Nikon at some point on a nice day (it looks like Silent Hill out there today with the fog).

Here's some shots from points of interest and whatnot:

Stock shot of the Milwaukee Skyline - the "biggest little city in the U.S." We ain't Chicago but there's still tons of cool shit here. Red arrow points to approx where my apt building is.

The Milwaukee Art Museum's Quadaracci Pavillion, designed by Santiago Calatrava. The "wings" open and close with sunrise/sunset. It's pretty sweet to watch.

Some old buildings.

More old buildings.

The Pabst Mansion - the PBR king's baller ass mansion, which is ironically now located in a pretty ghetto area of Milwaukee. Still really cool to check out though if you're in the area.

The bio-domes. These are actually really awesome - there's a desert one, a rainforest one, and a "seasonal" one that they swap out. The rain forest one literally feels like you're in the middle of Costa Rica, even in the wintertime.

The Harley Davidson Museum - a must-see if you're in the city. Not to be confused with the corporate offices, which are about 30 minutes from downtown.

Lakefront Brewery - best brewery tour in the city (and there's lots of brewery tours here). $15 for a pint glass and damn near all you can drink.

Milwaukee Bucks vs. Miami Heat at the Bradley Center. Fuck Miami.

Miller Park, home of the Milwaukee Brewers; and everyone's favorite steroid juicing NL MVP!

Inside the park during a day game

Confetti after the Brewers beat the Arizona Diamondbacks, in extra innings, during the NLDS game 5. I've been to a lot of sporting events but this was hands down the most insane win celebration I've ever been a part of. My friends and I had to jump the fence and sneak into the stadium because every ticket to that game was sold, even stubhub and scalpers. nuts.

Luchador wrestling at the Turner Hall Ballroom - think it was called "Mondo Lucha" (they do it every year or so). I'm not a wrestling fan but this was an awesome time.

Brady Street about 3 blocks from my house during the Harley 110th anniversary this past summer. For an entire week, people from all over the country and all over the world biked into the city and pretty much took it over. It was crazy, though I could do without the stoplight burnouts at 4am right outside my bedroom window.

Six Flags in Texas, about 10min from where I live. If that.

The car race or the foot race? Car race is scary since the dudes are going so fast around the turns. I've summitted a couple 14000 foot mountains out here, but not Pikes Peak because I've heard it is a bit of a letdown. Basically you work really hard to climb to the top, but when you get there all exhausted you see people get out of their cars or off the cog railways and then just go get donuts in the gift shop at the top. Not very motivating

Not motivating sounding at all, and I meant the race.

Nicely done on the mountain racing, damn. Very impressed.
