Little Things #6: Wi-Fi and you (in Tokyo)

By ⋅ August 17, 2011 ⋅ 8 comments

I’m writing this post as an attempt to both provide information to readers and to rant. I’ve recently had the experience of attempting to connect to the internet out in public here in Tokyo, and it hasn’t been the easiest thing in the world.

Little Things #5: Limited Time Only!

By ⋅ February 5, 2011 ⋅ 4 comments

Omiyage (pronounced oh-mee-yah-gay) can be roughly translated as souvenir. I might call it “obligatory gift to those around you because you had the excitement of going to a different place for a bit while everyone else was stuck at work/home/school and would like a piece of your journey”.

Little things #1: Refill Your Life

By ⋅ November 10, 2010 ⋅ 2 comments

In an effort to get back on the blog wagon (and also to get back to sharing more information with interested parties on the internet), I’ve put together a series of posts dealing not with grand topics and large adventures, but with the little things I’ve been noting more and more often as of recent.

  • I'm at a point in my life where walking down stairs in heels without holding on to a hand rail is all the adrenaline rush I need for a day.

  • There will never be a day that I do not first read アース サポート as "ass support" instead of "earth support".
