As an Australian (albeit from a different state), it was rather nice seeing Untitled Goose game's credits pointing out the Victorian support they got.

Twenty-sided Tavern, a very fun improv DnD show at the Sydney Opera House Studio.

For the venue itself, CO2 was not great, not the most terrible. The rowdy show meant more audience exhalations than a normal play or musical. It's also smaller than the usual places with better quality.

This Drager 1920 with a half-torn strap was brand new. First time I've seen damage/defect like that in the last couple of years. Well that's why there are spares!

Been using a new one daily (two if it's a long day) for the last month on the road in the Japanese winter. Nice comfy units.

Thanks to this heads up from @elizabethtasker.bsky.social earlier, the kiddo and I managed to catch the sample return exhibit in Ueno on its final day. What a treat!

Even though it is mostly empty, there has been at least a couple of occasional coughers onboard throughout.

Nozomi Shinkansen, Hiroshima to Tokyo. The green car is maybe 20% occupied so the CO2 level has been decent.

Plenty of time to have lunch onboard but we had a big enough breakfast to sidestep the risk altogether.

Sora-Iro Cola. Delicious for the first half, a little too cloying for the rest.

A tranquil Itsukushima Jinja at sparrows before the day trippers arrive in earnest.

Nogizaka46 singing "Let it go" is a #kohaku highlight I didn't expect.

Original shots of the cinema ad, in case of translation nuances.

In the pre-movie ads, the AEON cinema made it a point to mention the "Train Triple Air Shield" large scale anti-virus air conditioning system.

The tagline: "From now on, movie theatres will be chosen based on the atmosphere"

The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim at the Aeon Forus on a rainy Kanazawa morning.

An empty theatre is cheating but will take this CO2 level any day!

I want my shower walls grouted like Kanazawa castle.

Now Nogizaka46. What is this Super Live goodness?
December 27, 2024 at 9:23 AM
A very pleasant surprise to turn on the hotel tv and see live Hinatazaka46 and Sakurazaka46 songs back to back..

Good museums tend to have decent food and the excellent Gifu Sekigahara Battlefield Memorial Museum is no exception. Reenactments may have taken place during the enjoyment of this appropriately decorated curry.

Plenty of outdoor cafe seating, easy peasy for the covid aware tourist.

Luigi takes out greedy boss.

Also at the Nintendo Museum.

A rival theory on how Santa delivers gifts to millions of households in one night is the "Spacetime Santa model."

The delightful GEAR non-verbal theatre show made for a lovely way to bring in Christmas in Kyoto this year.

The show itself is a weaving together of multiple performance and circus type arts into a charming and visually stunning tale. Highly recommended!

Spy x Family exhibition at the top floor of a Kobe department store. Got to to sit in the iconic chairs from the manga covers too. Waku waku indeed.

Namco Akihabara: Wrapped up the first Tokyo day with some Gundam gaming with the kiddo. Thrashed by everybody except CPU bots, terrific fun just like we remembered.

CO2 stayed under 700 while the area was < 30% full and moved near 750 when we got more neighbours, but by then we were done.
