Byron the World Traveler

Byron traveled so much during the month of June.  He went to Japan on June 2-7th.  Then he went back to Asia on June 16-26.  From the beginning of June through middle of July he was home about 14 days between work travelling and Scout camp outs.  It was a pretty crazy time to stay sane and enjoy the time home with my kids.  I hope this was a one time occurrence and not going to become the norm:).

June 3 - In Japan with Satomi getting some kobe beef - small and expensive but to die for.
June 4 - Byron in Japan near Shinjuku Station.

Toy store where Satomi took Byron to buy some souvenirs for the kids.
Japanese restaurant where you dip various types of food/meat into the raw egg after you stir it up. 
Japanese Restaurant entrance.
Byron's coke zero and ice chocolate from the vending machine at work.  He went many times a day to get this same combination and could not get enough of it.

June 5 -  Vending machine in Japan with the coke zero and ice chocolate.

Byron & Satomi eating at a Korean BBQ restaurant in Japan.  You sit into the floor as shown below.
June 6-
Nu Skin's staff in Japan who Byron works with from time to time.  Putting the two fingers up is what you always have to do when someone takes your picture in Japan:).
June 16- Byron in Hong Kong with the global committee he is on.   Kaz (Japan), Chris Stubbs, Byron, Don Lovelace (U.S.) , Darin Kirkham and his wife, Antonia Chang (China) & Vipada "C" (Thailand)
Eating hot pots - put your raw meat in and good luck ever finding it again :).
Pig skin
View from hotel room of Hong Kong.  Notice the tennis court on top of the building.
June 19 -
Another mystery meat delicacy.

yellow pickled sour soup with clams- absolutely horrible!
Oil poached sliced catfish with red chilies - Byron favorite meal when he goes to Shanghai - he could eat this all day long.  They come and scoop off all of the chilies and then you spoon out the catfish that is sitting in all of the oil in the bowl.  Probably not good for you :).
June 22 - Taiwan - Taipei 101 building


Views from Elephant Mountain - you hike up hundreds and hundreds of stairs - quite the work out.



June 23 - Taipei, Taiwan
Clear can with soda in it.
Life size display of a movie advertisement - crazy.
Famous Taipei hotel
