The Upgraded Offsite
After Biohacker Summit Helsinki, we embarked on an epic upgraded offsite to the world's largest archipelago in front of Finland.

Tanglewood Boston Symphony Orchestra 2019
It has been 5 years since I visited the Tanglewood festival last time. This is a phenomenal concert venue! Everything from the grounds, to the views, and of course the music, it's all great. I finally got the chance to come here. It was a long drive on Mass pike to West. I wanted to go to Tanglewood for this summer so bad because have been missing opportunities for years. I have visited there with my friends back in 2014 and for my friend's piano concert back in 2010.

Ben Greenfield in Tokyo #4
Ben’s last day in Tokyo was so packed same as other days. We have been busy to enjoy, learn and experience Japanese culture in Tokyo and Ben started his last day in Ginza and took hours of private Japanese cooking lesson by a very well-know/trained chef, Ishizuka, the owner Ishizuka, as a head chef, found this restaurant after awarding Michelin stars for 5 consecutive years. I was a translator/camera man/guest for him.
Ben Greenfield in Tokyo #3
I know all Japanese people are jealous of us right now. Getting dressed in Kimono, watching Sumo from a box seats and having Chanko nabe (Sumo wrestler’s stew) for dinner are the highest status as Japanese. These incredible experiences never happened without support from Takanohana stable. Gift box was also amazing! Thanks for this opportunity.
Ben Greenfield in Tokyo #2
I am spending days with Ben Greenfield in my hometown Tokyo Japan. Since he had a private speaking event yesterday, I visited my old neighbor, Musashikoyama, Shinagawa, Tokyo where I had been living there until 7th grade. My elementray friends came to see me and I met most of them for the first time in two decades!! It made me so nostargic and reminded me of childhood. and…Guess what!? My random visit because of Ben was a sheer chance to come back to the september festival in my old hometown. It had been 20 years since I participated in last time. What a huge surprise! Sunday was the day for me!
