		<description><![CDATA[On Friday, March 1, everyone from my school (I think there were about 300 of us) went on a field trip to 箱根 (はこね, Hakone), Kanagawa-ken, Japan. It was about 1.5 &#8211; 2 hours by bus from Shibuya. So why did we go there? I mean, just what is Hakone known for?
Well, it&#8217;s probably most known for its 温泉  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[School is an interesting thing. I get to see classmates and some friends, learn some things, and have an opportunity to get out of my home. Of course, there is always homework to do if I attend class, as well as taking one or two tests every week. All in all though, it&#8217;s a good time.

Most people know that I&#8217;m not really an outdoors type of person. The only camping I&#8217;ve done was in Rainman&#8217;s backyard back in middle school one night&#8230; and later on we ended up going back inside. So, it&#8217;s a bit of a surprise both to myself and maybe others that I voted to go on a field trip to  [...]]]></description>

Here&#8217;s the promised video, along with some pics, from the 2012 Tokyo YouTube meet-up in Shibuya, Nov. 3, 2012. There were two &#8220;rooms.&#8221; One was what you see in the video above, then there was another room where various acts (many musical) performed on stage. Sadly, I didn&#8217;t get any footage of that.  [...]]]></description>

Last weekend I decided to take a walk around the neighborhood. While out, I came across Kishine Park (岸根公園), shown in the video above.
It was a wonderful day out, and there were many people out, as you can see. I&#8217;m guessing a lot of people go there in spring for hanami, or cherry blossom  [...]]]></description>
