Family and Friends
I got married!
Just a quick post to say that I got married to my wife Akane on Friday 12th August 2011 at The Ritz London. Full blog and photos to follow…
Christmas lunch
Forgot to upload the Christmas lunch I had with the office last week. Didn’t choose the traditional turkey but my selection was still very yummy. Hot vegetable soup on a cold snowy day: My first decent steak in 2 years. Still dreaming of a proper-meaty one though. Will have to cook it myself I think.
Bury St Edmunds
Had a short trip to Bury St Edmunds on Saturday for a family lunch and to see my Dad’s new place. I recall visiting this town once in my life but have no recollection about it. So I was pleasantly surprised by how nice a town it was. Lots of shops and markets filled with … Continue reading
Photos from Thailand
I had another chance to visit this beautiful country and to visit the guys in the office whom I communicate with by email every day. It was nice to take a holiday in what is still a very affordable country for travelling and to just relax in the beach resort and do nothing. No running … Continue reading
Rich tea
Currently enjoying some Rich Tea biscuits with some nice PG tips tea for breakfast. Haven’t had that combination for a while. I’ve forgotten I liked quite a lot of traditional English foods. I think I was spoilt with the Japanese and Thai food I was accustomed to for the past couple of years. Anyhow, back … Continue reading
Thai hospitality
I’m unable to blog or upload to flickr due to my slow internet connection but I have managed to upload a few pics to Facebook. So I’ll have to wait till I get back to post a summary of my trip. Been taken out almost every night by Thai friends and they’ve made my first … Continue reading
Sayanora Japan
I’m just 3 days away from leaving Japan now. At the moment, I’m living out of my backpack as I’ve flown all my belongings home already. I think I packed my USB card reader too so I’ll upload photos once I’m back in Cambridge. My old laptop doesn’t have a MemoryStick reader… I have a … Continue reading
Les Rendez-vous de Tokyo
A friend of mine, Ayano, just opened her own restaurant in Tokyo last weekend. She called me a few times to ask for help with construction and assembly of furniture but I never had time. I also missed the opening party last weekend but I hope I will get the time to check out her … Continue reading
2000 Yen bank note
This rare, 2000 Yen bank note finally circulated into my hands at yesterday’s BBQ. It’s readily available at most Japanese banks but it doesn’t seem to be used at all. In fact, this was the first time I saw it in the 14 months I’ve been in this country and I’ve handled more than a … Continue reading
Golden Week BBQ
It was a lovely day yesterday to have a nice BBQ by the beach down in Kanazawa at Umi no Koen, 30 minutes from Yokohama. Nice way to relax with friends on this long Japanese holiday. BBQing in Japan is very organised. You reserve your spot and equipment. All you need to supply is your … Continue reading
