This Two Houses is actually perfect and I’m always coming back to it. I still think they are just outstanding at creating music.

God I hate rush hour in Japan. It’s the worst rush hour I’ve ever experienced especially when there’s a disruption which happens frequently. Just people pushing and being generally crappy.

I am craving Turkish breakfast right now but I am on a rush hour train going to work and I don’t know if I can get this in Tokyo.

Also I 10000% recommend Asiana Airlines for long haul flights. Masses of leg room, wide seats, huge TV and pineapple juice offered. Staff were lovely and friendly. A joy to fly 14 hours with.

I’m sat in Incheon Airport for the next 6 hours waiting for my flight to London. They have a very nice transit lounge, but if I’d known the nap zone was free I would never have laird for the lounge.

Every year in Japan we have to have a health check up. Today is mine. It’s a good system to have, my work pays for it and I get the day off for it but I always get told off because the “healthy weight” range here is so low and I’m never in it.

I miss Chicago and London. That’s the thing with living in different places, you are always missing someone or somewhere.
