Friday: The last day of Gunma orientation. Mostly it was a day of Japanese culture workshops. I would have liked a wider range, there were no visual arts for example, some calligraphy or sumi ink painting would have been nice. Instead there were ... Read more >

Well there's really nothing much I can say about this day. We went to the Summersonic Music Festival in the morning and left at midnight! We started off by watching The Wombats at the Chiba Marine Stadium. Then June stayed behind to watch Vampire ... Read more >

We woke up at a disgustingly early 4:30 a.m. and stumbled out into the world at 5:30.
Today was the day we would visit the famous Tsukiji Fish Market.

We started the day bright and early at 6:30 a.m. with a dip in the
hot spring at our guesthouse. It’s a shared facility, but guests can
reserve it for private use. Since you have to go in fully naked, it’s
really best that you do this.
The ... Read more >

If it hasn’t been
clear so far, I had an absolutely amazing time in Tokyo. It was fucking
exhausting and my feet were BURNING with pain throughout all 7 days –
in fact the sides of my soles are still aching today – but the trip was

One of my main
missions for this trip was to find a wedding dress. Because let’s face

you anywhere else. All of my hopes for finding this elusive dress were
pinned on ... Read more >

This will be a story of confusion, exhaustion and lots of near-vomitting. Let’s start from the top.
I got about 2 hours of sleep before waking up at 2:30 a.m. to go to
the airport. Our flight was at 6 a.m. We landed at Narita Airport

The car was delivered, it's surprisingly roomy inside, plenty of head room even for me. The wheel is a bit tight for the knees, but I don't plan on any extended road trips so it's ok. I drove into Kiryu last night to get my bearings as I have a meeting ... Read more >

Before every new beginning there must be an end. So before beginning to talk about Asia, I'm try to give an initial reflection on the place which I've called (secretly) home for the last year, Nippon. I'll keep it short and sweet so I don't get all emotional.... Read more >
