The winds through the Naruto Channel off the island of Shikoku are some of the strongest in the world. This, in turn, creates the world's biggest whirlpools. At high or low tide. Which, of course, I missed by about forty-five minutes. Regardless, I took a video of some tiny ones. See if you can spot them. Whee!

A silly video I shot with my digital camera while lost and sitting on a curb in Fukuoka in March of 2006. This is the first in a small series of (sometimes) stupid videos I shot during my Japan vacation.

Another in the 'stupid vaction videos' series. A bright, sunny morning quickly turned sour. It cleared up about a half-hour later, though.

Not much to see here, but a bit to listen to. This is a bit of a prayer chant I overheard at Fukusai-ji in Nagasaki.

I REALLY apologize for the crap audio on this video. It's just me whining about being wet and cold and isolated. Whaah!
