A 31 year old Canadian currently living within Ottawa who enjoys expressing his interests. My interests are those to do with Anime, Games, Ferrari, VR games (Vrchat), and photography. I attempt to create music using Fruityloops 8. I have traveled to Europe - Mostly Eastern half - and plan to visit Japan sometimes within the future.
The Canada-Netherland’s 2010 Tulip Festival – explained here. This article will cover the International Pavilion at Major’s Hill Park and the various other two food tents related to the Pavilion.

As I was heading to the Tulip Festival on Major’s Hill Park  and took a short cut through Sparks street. I came across two street performers. I only recorded one of them (below). After that, I headed towards the Parliament to notice lots of activity up on Parliament Hill. Curiosity got the better of me so I decided to check up on what was happening.

As things didn’t go as planned I had to split this single topic into two. The first part is of the Tulips for the Tulip Festival (an intro) and a quick incomplete tour of downtown Ottawa.

Hey, went off to pick up my Figma Ein that I had on hold and discovered a bonus Figma product on my visit to the store. Which one? AnimeStop on Clyde – Merivale area. The ex:ride 004 wheel walker was a nice find and catch to go along side a stealthy Ein.

For those that have been lurking on my forum may have noticed a “trend” of me saying “for a change of scenery I decided to -here- to take pictures of Figmas“. Well, to continue that trend I shall now say:
“For a change of scenery I decided to take pictures of my Figma’s outside of Ottawa, at Sharbrot Lake.”
Only for Figmas? Of course not. I assisted with some minor tasks. Taking pictures of Figmas was just me taking advantage of different scenery.

It appears that the Cherry Blossoms are in full bloom in Canada, Ottawa. I took pictures of the one on the Experimental Farm, went too early for the one at Andrew Haydon park, and checking up on some group of trees at a busy Transit way. Someone’s blog mentioned these were Cherry Blossoms but I’m too unsure if these are or not.

Anybody up for a parasol party? Saber and Signum were the runner ups in this paper parasols photo-shoot party. Got to love how miniature materials or objects can be used with these Figmas with ease heh.

I doubt I have gone through my Ferrari collection in the last year or so. Time for a Ferrari update if that is the case as I obtained $17 (CAD)’s worth of new Ferrari’s. It might not be much to someone else but it would be for someone who keeps collecting Anime figures while trying to review them, or photo-shoot them heh. Its something to do while waiting for the Ferrari Festival to roll around.

Hey, me and Kodama – Figure.fm profile – tried to do a Dannychoo.com/Figure.fm meet up at a very short notice. We met up but were hoping for more people. I should of had a little flag showing “d” in purple. It went well but it was only me and Kodama taking images of Figmas for three hours. Â I ended up being about 10 minutes late at the time, but did leave a warning that I’d be late as I was cycling – 3ish pm -> 6 pm. I also tried went to my local AnimeStop on the way to buy a Figma – Figma Emiya.

In my hunt for more Cherry Blossoms I saw that the Experimental Farm had a few in their garden. Also brought my Figmas with me just to even out the Ottawa scenery bits with a bit of Anime-ness. The Experimental Farm is a vast open space to experiment with crops and such. There is no way you can miss it as it covers a large portion of Ottawa.

4/20 – A pothead’s heaven on Earth. The one and only time I’ll post something like this up. I’m not a pothead myself but I did go downtown just for this and to see if I could kill two birds with one stone – Ottawa Senator’s mini-parties in the downtown area. I lucked out on the Senators part.

With warmer weather comes a stream of pictures and videos! Finally got my bike repaired for this year’s Spring to fall season and some nice enough images to share with you all. I’ve also attempted to try and get my figma collection in some nice outdoor shots, hope they’re in good quality.

Happy Easter Weekend! Me and my Figma’s keep getting flooded with chocolate of all kinds and this Easter seems to be a new record for these chocolates flood. Miku and Rin were the only ones interested in the chocolate flood as Shana and Haruhi are still recovering from their Coca-Cola antics. Shana is also munching on her winter Lindt chocolate that she looted from Christmas heh.

Wow, such an unCanadian like day as the weather was oddly warm and summer like. I’m not complaining as I actually enjoyed such an unusually warm weather for late March and early April. It went from being snowy, warm, cloudy, warm, cold, cloudy, rain, cloudy, sunny, cloudy, chilly, warm, windy, warmer, and then into summer in an unusually short time. People didn’t even need a sweater in this weather and to top it off buses could easily turn into a sauna.

Ya, I made it to Tokyo, Japan after getting the tickets as a secret birthday present. I didn’t want to ruin my chances of the flight being canceled or getting sick so I didn’t blog about it, until now ^_^. The air smells so nice, the breeze….nice and chilly. Narita airport, so damn huge 0_o. The flight, boring and long.
