On a spontaneous-ish trip to Japan, where I was staying with (and pretty much following around) my good friend Liu Puli, we ended up in his home town of Osaka around the time of Halloween. Out on the weekend, we met up with some of his friends and skated the streets, eventually making our way towards Triangle Park, a famous landmark for young folk to hang out, drink and sometimes skateboard.
We skated a spot around the corner from Triangle Park until Mr. Volcom himself came and hung with the group. It was now when we figured we had better go to Triangle Park, before Triangle Park came to us…
It was quite busy
Things were getting too much a bit too fast, so it was off to the FamilyMart for some drinks
Things outside were a blur, but luckily I already had a few to drink, so my camera managed to get a few good memorable moments

Puli was enjoying himself
After walking past overflowing bins and trash on the floor, people began to realise there was fun to be had by our stack of skateboards nearby
some pretty sober looking skating apparently went down
though, some people needed help
and others got over people using their boards pretty quickly…
but Puli was enjoying himself, as usual
by the time most of the people had thinned out in the park, we looked at our phones for the time and found it was almost the hour of sunrise
So we took to the road on skateboard and bike
sharing both drunkenly til the crack of dawn
all the way back to the Puli residence, to drink some more alcohol..
