Photos & Words by Joey Lee
What’s up all. I’m currently right in the middle of packing for my trip to Hawaii for the annual Wekfest event but decided that it be best for me to get some more content up for you guys to look at before I go. I have so much stuff to post, along with the rest of the other six Vlogs that I can’t really afford to just not do anything and relax. My flight is in a couple hours but I think I’ve been sleeping way too much lately so here are some more photos from Tokyo Auto Salon 2016. I’m trying to keep everything in the order in which it happened so the Vlogs make sense and the photo coverage isn’t out of order. That is why we have this week-long gap in-between Vlogs. They’re all done, I’m just waiting for the right time to post them. They get better as the trip progresses, trust me. I gotta go run around Hawaii and do Wekfest stuff so I’ll catch up with everyone later. Peep the photos in the mean time…
