I’m sitting in my office and have the 2 major wants I always seem to have returning from a trip to Japan: Big cities – need to do be somewhere with lots of hustle and bustle. Cambridge doesn’t quite do it. Food – I need good food. Right now I want Bacon, Sausages, and French […]

It’s been a long time since I spent a proper Friday night out in a big city. And Tokyo certainly makes up for it. The energy of the city is absolutely amazing, just wandering around there is so much visual and sound stimulus- exactly what I need to relax. A few choice quotes of the […]

The range of food gadgets here never fails to amaze me. There’s a tool for absolutely ever task, whether it be the optimal spoon for eating ice cream, or special skewers for chicken. Tonight witnessed a new tool: Forget messing around with forks trying to take meat off of skewers, the Japanese have a special […]

I like the fact that everywhere in the world, save for Italy, you can go to Starbucks. Venti Cappuccino is the standard order. Oh, in Japan/Korea they have macarons: I like the cover at the top to prevent spillage (they have in the US also):

Inventory so far: * Sunday – Buffalo wings + fries * Monday – Cooked breakfast, Extreme Pita Philly Cheese Steak, In/Out Burger * Tuesday – Starbucks Croissant, […]

Breakfast this morning at the airport. The journey wasn’t too bad. The driver was 10 mins early (good) and the journey done in just over an hour. If it was like this all the time, I could see the benefit of the car. Sadly, too many memories of Monday morning San Francisco flights stuck in […]

So you may think I have posted this photo before (lunch from the local butcher, Hot Roast Pork sandwiches): Incorrect, a twist this time. I walked in at 1PM to the butcher to the smell of cooking meat. Didn’t even happen to open my mouth, “Hot Pork Rolls, Sir ?”. I nodded my head. Out […]

I felt pretty crappy the latter part of the morning (mixture of cold and stress), so realised I need to have some healthy food. That in my mind means eating en-masse vegetables either in the form of soup or salad. I decided to opt for the salad option. Of course being me, a vital ingredient […]

Went out to try and get a healthy breakfast, then spotted Xmas pies in the Co-Op. I love puff pastry Xmas pies, I just can’t see how anyone would like any form of them. A quick pic:
