Good Times, Great People
"It is better to be in chains with friends,
than to be in a garden with strangers."

Soko ga Shiritai!
In a wildly popular 80's TV show, the Soko crew roamed Japan by bus taking a single camera into narrow alleyways, through tiny villages and down weed-choked roads- never failing to stumble upon the most marvelous things in the most innocuous places.
And so, to the spirit of curiosity and kismet.

About Me
- Name: Raichou
- Location: Osaka, Japan
The fledgling ethologist jumps off the walkway into the water, wading over slippery rocks to the sanctuary of the rare Chelonia mydas concreata. She carefully pulls herself up the sheer face of the volcanic boulder, and reverently pets the gentle giant on it's massive shell. The turtle smiles appreciatively.

Roads go ever ever on,
Over rock and under tree,
By caves where never sun has shone,
By streams that never find the sea;
Over snow by winter sown,
And through the merry flowers of June,
Over grass and over stone,
And under mountains of the moon.
Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though I oft have passed them by,
A day will come at last when I
Shall take the hidden paths that run
West of the Moon, East of the Sun.
-- J.R.R. Tolkien
