Belissima Italy!

Been to Italy many many times but this was the first time to the south. Was so cool to see my bro from Beijing getting married in the streets of Monopoli. Those nights at Juicy Fruit, Vicks and cooking at Seasons Park feel so so distant. Amazing that you met your wife when we were out having a blast in Berlin 6 years ago!

Was quite the journey to get from Copenhagen to Bari...Limited flights going there with the limited time I had: Copenhagen - Brussels - Rome (5 hour sleep) - Bari. Arrived 9 am at Bari airport and straight to the wedding by car. Had been traveling about 12 hours with maximum of 5 hours sleep. Who needs a beer? I can't thank you enough Ruggiero for driving me. Had 3 coffees at the airport because sooo good. Nothing! beats Italian coffee

Second time in my life taking RyanAir. Was actually much better than I thought! NO issues, bag arrived in time, no waiting to check in and just smooth and 50 euro. 

Finally here! Small gorgeous alleys of Monopoli. Was even 1 hour early, time to stroll around. 

1,5 hour ceremony in German & Italian, really interesting priest 

 Congrats bro!! 

Escape vehicle :) 

 1 hour snack time & drinking before picture taking 

 Nice little place rented! 

 Picture time, looking good! 

 After picture time, we had few hours to drink and chill before a bus would pick us up and take us out to a farm for the dinner and party. 

 The farm was fantastic, traditional Italian with farm animals and own cheese + olives

 Thanks for having me :) 

 I probably don't need to say that I are waaaaay tooooo much. Could have rolled all the way back to Tokyo after this night. 

Best mozarella I EVER had 

We were about 60 people, great crowd! 

 After party...bus was suppose to pick us up at 1 am but in Italian time that was more like 3 am

 Breakfast of kings next morning...and 4 coffees 

 Thank you Ruggiero for the sightseeing in Polignano, can't wait to come back next May again.

 One of the biggest caves in the world - Castellana Grotte. About 4 kilometers lond at about 60 meters depth. Must see if you are in Bari
