On Food & Travel


A July Sunday in the Barrio

Was look­ing out­side the win­dow and noticed that it’s going to be a gor­geous Sun­day. So I decid­ed to test out my new GoPro’s time­lapse. First one I have ever done. I still have to fig­ure out how to make a 127-degree FoV vs. this 170. Any­ways, I have it take a pho­to every 30-sec­onds; a total of about 1′15″ of real-time footage in the bar­rio.

Los Angeles Ramen Spots

A year ago, I wrote about some ramen joints in LA. From that point to now, there has been a lot of devel­op­ment in Down­town LA, espe­cial­ly in Lit­tle Tokyo. After get­ting back from my “short trip” from South­east Asia (Philippines/Thailand) recent­ly, I head­ed straight to Haka­ta Ramen SSG.

Oyaji


Some sushi, some biru, and some good ramen, orig­i­nal­ly uploaded by stechico.

In the SF area? More specif­i­cal­ly, in the Out­er Rich­mond? Feenin’ for some iza­kaya, good sushi and ramen? This is the place to be for those near the Out­er Rich­mond. Park­ing can be hec­tic but easy as well. I parked at the Legion of Hon­or lot on a Fri­day night (I think that was on 34th and Clement St.).

The Inka Trail

I had the oppor­tu­ni­ty to join a cou­ple of friends some months ago, and trav­el south to the land of Peru. This coun­try is rich in nat­ur­al resources I tell you. The weath­er was nice. We were blessed with most­ly par­tial­ly-cloudy to sun­ny days in our time in the Andes. I could only imag­ine how it would have been if most of the descent on the Trail were wet and slip­pery due to rain.

Mean­while, I made a quick iMovie video slideshow show­ing most of the high­lights of the trek. I was orig­i­nal­ly going to use Ani­mo­to to do it but find­ing the right music might have been the lim­it­ing fac­tor as you can only select from a select library from their end. I fig­ured I might as well use what I have and pro­ceed­ed to cre­ate the fol­low­ing.

Here’s the video. Enjoy!
