Radio Monotone - Now in my Possession!

After my unsuccessful attempts at locating the Radio Monotone CD from an independant Japanese DJ  when I was in Japan a few weeks ago… I bit the bullet and purchased the bugger online.
After 9 days… my package of goodies arrived in the mail.
In true Japanese fashion… Packaging overkill was in order

Playing with my new camera

Playing around with my new camera and took some shots today to test it out…
The 3″ LCD Screen is absolutely amazing… the images were super crips and the colours were vibrant.
Here’s a pic of my new watch I bought about a week ago

Breakfast, Dragonball & My (other) New Toy

For some really strange reason… we woke up this morning completely and utterly smashed… at 11am…
This is strange for two reasons… firstly my sleep ins never really go past 9am (that’s when some folks actually make it to bed on a Sunday)
And secondly… I had a splitting migrane… I’d imagine this is what it feels [...]

Kyoto and Osaka (Noda)

This morning the skies were very cloudy but at least the rain had stopped. It was breakfast time and we needed fuel to get us through yet another shopping expedition. Looking onto the main Shijo-Karasuma street from the entrance to our hotel… an immediate breakfast option sprung at us out of nowhere.

Hiroshima

Today was a special day… I’ve wanted to visit Hiroshima for a long long time and it was finally happening today!
We tried to get something different this morning for brekkie and headed off to Maccas (we really felt like a bacon & egg muffin).

Hakata, Canal City and Fukuoka

We were counting on today to be much more laid back compared to what we encountered in Japan. Fail. I should have known what I was in for when I suddenly realised I was playing pictionary with the hotel receptionist when I asked her how best to get to Canal City from our hotel (she [...]

Tokyo to Hakata

Today’s blog is going to be short (compared to yesterdays standards)..
We’re going to be travelling on bullet trains today from Tokyo to the south of Japan for about 9 hours which means we’re going to blow most of the day in transit.
But that didn’t stop us from squeezing in some goodies in Tokyo before our [...]
