Withdrawl Symptoms from Japan Trip

We finished work late tonight and didn’t really have time to cook a meal before needing to hit the sack immediately afterwards. We missed the food and the “good times” we had in Japan just over 2 weeks ago now and needed some injection of Japanese stat!
Around the corner from my workplace is this little [...]

Rainbows & Skyscrapers

It was a punishing day at work today… It was just one issue after another and the minutes seemed to drag on for an eternity.
When I dragged myself out of work and drove through North Sydney… I wasn’t expecting this to lift my spirits for the evening…

Gold Coast & Brisbane

We finally arrived on Australian soil again and we were greeted with warm sunny Gold Coast skies and it was nice to have some humidity in the air (the air in Japan was very very dry).

Last day in Japan

So today was the last day we were to spend in Japan… our flight departs from Osaka around 8:55pm this evening so it left us with plenty of time to explore the city one last time.
