I’ve been having a bit too much fun with iMovie since I got back. I took the video I took on my trip and put in some background music and made some cheesy movies. The music is mostly from stuff I was listening to on the trip. Hopefully they’re not completely unbearable.
Wandering around Tokyo (soundtrack from the “Fabriclive:33 - Spank Rock“)
One of the things that was interesting about Tokyo is how everyone waits at the crosswalks. Really huge masses of people all crowd into a sort of waiting area outside Shibuya station. Then when the light changes the place empties for a second or two before the wave of people from the other side arrives. There’s also some video of some chanting people with some sort of shrine or something that they’re carrying. I don’t really have any answers for that. Scaring away evil spirits maybe?
Also I was the only one that I saw that hugged the guys at the end holding the free hugs signs. I felt bad cause I must have been the sweatiest guy around. Either they were a little shocked that somebody actually hugged them or I smelled worse than I thought, not really sure which.
Diving in Koh Tao (Soundtrack from “The Outsider - DJ Shadow“)
I rented a digital camera and case from Black Tip for one of my dives off Ko Tao. The camera case fogged up as soon as I got in the water so I couldn’t really aim all that well. It was also a lot more colorful in real life.
Koh Samui Zip Line, (Soundtrack from “Fabriclive:30 - Stanton Warriors“)
I also have all my photos posted to Flickr now.
