Japanese Edition CDs

Several rock bands often don't have the opportunity to tour in Japan despite having large fanbases in the Land of the Rising Sun. The costs and logistics of sending band members, including their crew and gear, make it difficult to do so. In addition, Japanese domestic albums cost more than those imported from outside of the country. To justify the higher price tag for a CD and to please their diehard Japanese fans, record labels and bands make an effort to include Japan-exclusive tracks in some of their album releases. Instead of the usual shot glass or refrigerator magnet, a favorite souvenir of mine is Japan released albums. Here are a few records that I gathered from my trips to Japan with links to the exclusive tracks. 1. New Found Glory - Not Without a Fight Bonus track for Japan: I'm the Fool New Found Glory's 2009 release of Not Without a Fight in Japan is a prime example of a band's appreciation for Japan. With this additional track, the album's t

Don't ride these

On a work trip to Tempe, Arizona, I stayed right across from Sun Devil Stadium at Arizona State University. The surrounding town is littered with these shareable electric scooters from two companies, Lime and Bird. My work group was intrigued by these things and decided to try them out to commute to places around town. We used both Lime and Bird. Here's what I thought about them.

There are no docking stations, so you just grab an available one that' s standing on the street, scan it with their respective app, and then scoot on your way. The Lime app is easy to use. I didn't have any problems aside from connecting my Google Pay account at first, but within 5 minutes of initial setup, I was on my way.  These things are dangerous  These scooters top out at around 18.5 mph, and most of the time, you'll be traveling at that speed. You're supposed to share the bike lane with these things w

What's in my Disney World bag

My Disney-carry is sacred to me. What is the result of years of experience, including my year as an Annual Passholder visiting the Disneyland Resort, I have perfected an essential list of items that I need while spending an entire day expressing my Disney side. If you are interested in any of these items, I've set up Amazon Affiliate  links to purchase them.  1)  PacSafe Vibe 25 PacSafe makes some incredible anti-theft baggage. Is it effective? Don’t know. But it offers some awesome peace of mind while traveling through thick crowds, such as those at a Disney park. The Vibe 25 is perfect for travel. It’s my personal item on flights, my urban explorer bag, and even my main hiking bag. It’s the perfect size for storing tons of items without being too large. That’s what you want for underneath and airplane seat, covering miles throughout a cityscape, or in this case, storing on the floor of a roller coaster train while you launch into the first inversion of Rock ‘n’
