SOFTWARE, JAPAN, SELF-ACTUALIZATION AND

So today I was feeling pretty drained mentally, although the sun was shining and the weather was nice I was feeling rather blah. For lunch I decided to go somewhere instead of eating cup-noodles like I normally do (they are cheap and rather tasty).
So I walked down the street until I came across Yoshinoya […]

I’m quite shocked really… the mac was working so nicely - and I really don’t spend a lot of time on it. As of today there appears to be no hope left for it, other than for me to venture into a Mac store in Japan and attempt to explain the problem.
Not only the […]

Like I mentioned in my previous post, Burger King in Japan is offering for 1 week only a special Windows 7 Whopper. Today as a special treat, I am going to share with you 7 angles on the Windows 7 Whopper - fresh from the land of the rising sun.

At first inspection, this new […]

Ok, so within a week from posting my declaration that certain foodstuffs were hard to find - and I have yet another update. Wednesday after traveling to the office I decided to checkout another store that someone told me about a while ago.
In akasaka-mitsuke there is a small store that sells mostly spirits (alcohol), […]

So this weekend I took a walk to get some fresh air and explore a part of the city that I’ve never seen. Along the way I stumbled across an International Food Market…. considering that I found it only about 15 minutes walk from the apartment, and considering that I just posted about food […]

Ok, normally this is a Picture post kinyoubi, but considering that I’ve posted so many photos in the last week, I decided to give it a rest. Today after dinner I reflected on the many foodstuffs that are either impossible or difficult to find in Japan (as opposed to the US).
This is by no […]

Ok, so I fell asleep last night right after dinner due to cold / fever of sorts that was not playing nice. So, directly after washing dishes - I went to bed and did not leave the bed until this morning - thus the late post.
Speaking of dishes (そういえば） a funny thing which I […]

This weekend I traveled to Sendai to visit with my new brother in law. Ayako and I had fun telling him about the funny wedding day stories as we ate and drank the two nights away.
During the day Sendai was having a large Yosakoi festival which Makoto was a part of. Yosakoi is […]

Rob supplied this photo of my wedding cake.

On closer inspection we can see a Kanji character as the topper. I chose this over a more traditional bride and groom topper (I didn’t have time to consult Ayako, she was already on the plane to the US!).
The character is used in many words, but it […]
