UNT Alumni - Asia


I just created a group for UNT Alumni to collaborate. The focus is on Asia, but the reach is universal. The world is extremely interconnected and our alumni network should be as well. The simplest application of this group, considering the first batch of invites is to facilitate music in and through Asia - local gigs as well as tours. The more difficult and equally important goal is to strengthen ties between alumni of all disciplines, much like other schools of the same size (>30,000 students). UNT offers a top-notch education, but the alumni network is not as strong as it should be. This will change, and the "UNT Alumni - Asia" is a step in that direction.
Join today and collaborate!

Tokyo: Scenes


From the Metro in Ueno to the technology shops of Akihabara, Tokyo is a happening place.

Ueno is Bueno


...and Harajuku is rad! I'm doing a hit and run tour of Tokyo on my way back to Texas, and arrived at Narita airport this morning, took a train to Ueno and then proceeded to spend 2 hours finding my hotel. A five-minute walk from the Ueno station becomes much longer when you're cartographically challenged in Tokyo.
After a nap, a "sports drink," and an invitingly warm toilet seat encounter (just don't press the buttons) I met up with my friend JeeHye who I went to UNT with - college. It's great to meet up with old friends in new and interesting places! Here are a few shots from the day:
