Old Friend Visiting Taipei

My old LACC film department classmate, Yuta, visited Taipei this week from Nagoya. We first became friends over pulling all-nighters when he asked me to be editor for his class final project short film back in 2010.

Since he left the US, he has also gotten into solo travel, and in recent years moved abroad again to Ho Chi Minh City for 6 months. Over the years, we have hung out in Japan twice, Malaysia, and now Taiwan. Life's crazy, man. Pics of our hangs and recent times below, including a subway rat.
