    Highlights from a perfect day at Moominvalley Park. We rode a very special train, saw fun attractions, and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. There are two Moomin parks in the whole world, and now we’ve been to both of them. β€οΈβ˜€οΈπŸš†πŸŒ³ #moomin @moominofficial

    Finally the tourist part begins! Tonight we headed to Shinjuku for a ramen 🍜 (β€œIs that bowl lined with meat?! OH HELLS YEAH.”) before heading out to Musashi-Koyama for a traditional onsen experience, getting naked and sitting in hot mineral spring baths. πŸ› 😳

    If you want your own #awsdress sticker, you’ll have to come find me at the Developer Lounge Community Kiosk at the #AWSSummitTokyo today! Right under the ExpoA sign. πŸ‡―πŸ‡΅β€οΈπŸ‘—


    Time for some excessive schmoopiness: I’ve done the math, and as of today I’ve been with Rodd Snook for 50.003% of my life. ❀️


    What, doesn’t everyone get excited to take selfies with cloud infrastructure?! πŸ˜‚ I’m at the AWS Summit Tokyo checking out an AWS Outposts rack and all three generations of AWS Nitro system cards!

    #aws #cloud #infrastructure


    There are some very cool interactive demos at the AWS Summit Tokyo in the builders.flash EXPO area. I played Nyancat poker, simulated failures in Lego cloud architecture with Chaos Kitty, and posed like a Japanese TV superhero! πŸ‡―πŸ‡΅


    Some of the many fun selfies and photos I captured today at the AWS Summit Tokyo! The highlights were definitely meeting AWS VP of CX & Tech Francessca Vasquez (finally!) and posing with Shun Yoshie, probably the coolest AWS Hero in the world. πŸ€˜πŸ‡―πŸ‡΅

    He braved public transportation today and found, like, the last cherry blossom in Tokyo! Now celebrating with craft beers. 🌸🍻
