Walking in the rain
Was yesterday. Got the tube with Naoko and Noel there. Did I mention I met Noel for the first time the day before? Top bloke. The Community Centre venue was good (they drive on the proper side of the road here which makes crossing them so much easier and safer) and I found a drinks [...]

Speedy small one
Wandering back through the rain in the darkened city is always tricky because places look so different at night, navigation becomes more difficult. I am really deep down tired so I had to give my journey my fullest concentration and at some point an old lady overtook me. She wasn’t running, she wasn’t on wheels [...]
Number 5
Starbucks in Leicester the staff have always been polite. There may be a touch of work-weary there at times but polite is always there. London they were good. The Starbucks in San Francisco I don’t remember. In New York it was straightforward. It wasn’t rude, more like “You want coffee I’ll give it you – [...]

Slowly slowly
Took me well over twice the time it should have done to get from the hotel to nulabs, I managed to miss the Starbucks, missed what the map says is an Apple Store but we have those at home so no loss. What we don’t have is the colorful signage, or so many cars that [...]
Wednesday starts.
7am and I’m sitting in a japanese hotel room bed using photoshop elements to crop a photo of me for a business card. I can see myself bungee jumping one day, I could picture myself doing many things but on a list of a thousand things the above sentence just wouldn’t figure. Wonderfully bizarre. And [...]

Somewhere new
I thought I had a good idea of how to get back to the nulabs office from the hotel and had this shopping mall not looked so good I might have proved I knew. Wandered into one which turned out to be pretty long and the street I found myself on also looked interesting as [...]

Hotel speed.
I get a better ping at home but at 7x the overall speed who cares about pings? (except when gaming of course)

A first impression
Polite, quiet, clean, unrushed, friendly, safe are just some of the words so far. By the time I had left the airport on the coach to Haneka I was impressed by the level of politeness from not just the staff – who were the embodiment of all things polite – but every Japanese person I [...]
