Tokyo Dreaming
Hey people, I have an announcement!
I’ll be moving to Japan in March for a working holiday. Not certain what I’ll be doing there or for how long, but I’ve been itching for adventure and Tokyo seems like just the ticket.
So what does this mean for you? Well, expect a lot of new posts where I gape and jape in patronizing infatuation. So I guess it’s business as usual, except from Japan.
I’m not expecting massive culture shock – I lived in Mie prefecture for a year on a Rotary exchange. But that was as a teenager and I am, nominally, a Big Boy now. I know things will be different.
So, to celebrate the flavour this blog will inevitably osmose from its new HQ I’ve gotten permission from the guys at eBoy to use some of their amazing pixel art on the site. This piece is called Tokyo.




I can give you directions to a wonderful pool filled with plastic bananas.
I’m sure there will still be plenty of culture shock, in a good way and a bad way. I lived in a backwater of Japan for six months, and I remember that nothing tasted familiar — not the American-style food, and not the Japanese.
