I had a bit of a craz for baseball when I was in primary school. So it was very exciting when we went to a game last Friday.
My First Baseball Game!

What are these kids playing to win?
0THIS!! No…this is my dinner. As for the kids I spend this morning with Ellen at one of the Kindergaten in Obu. The kids are very well behaved and I had loads of fun just being silly. May be I do better as a Kinder teacher than an engineer. Guess I’ll test that out of [...] Continue Reading »
Earthquake simulation
2Minus the smile when it comes to the real thing. Honestly the thought of it happening at any moment is scary. I get to wear the workers uniform you see on TV during emergencies, excepts it is khaki not blue.
Cosplay
3Yes I was cosplay-ing today. Lisa would arrest me if she finds out (I joked about offering my help to the Police in one particular event, that was what I was told if I put on a uniform).
Ride around Chita Hanto
1Kuno san and some of the riding crew has kindly let me tag along their ride. It was clear later on it wasn’t just a tag along ride. They took me to artist’s workshops and we had too much pit stops for a 100km all so bike ride. We started at the City Hall and [...] Continue Reading »
My first shot of caffeine since 1 Sept
2On a different topic, here are some of the dishes I had in the reception.
Lock up!

Lunch at work should be like this everyday
1Good lunch destination by bicycle: Cowderoy St Diary Andrew’s Burger St Ali Deadman Expresso : No need to feel bad about what you have ate when you use a bike!!
Last Japanese class before the real deal!
0Yes it’s coming, rather than saying 九月二日 (Sept 2nd) I can say 来週金曜日(next Friday) to anyone who asks me “いつ 日本へいきますか？”（When are you going to Japan?)
Tokyo Bike Melbourne opens 18 August!!
0The lovely folks at Tokyo Bikes are about to open their Melbourne Shop. If they had came 4 years earlier Tofu probably would not be here. Last time I tested Bisou made me itching for one. But I couldn’t justify another bike right now. If you are looking for a simple head turner bike, head [...] Continue Reading »
The Panda is turning 50 years old
0Well the organisation turning 50 this year, all of the more reasons we should show more love for our world. It’s one very small bit we could do for the hours of heating we clocked up this winter, or for throwing away that perfectly reusable paper that was creased when it was jammed in the [...] Continue Reading »
90s Gazelle Formula Race
0My first road bike is completed! It’s also the first non Japanese bike. The Gazelle is better known for its cargo bikes and upright bikes than it’s racing past. It was really lucky for me to scoop this new old stock from a lovely gentleman from Amsterdam. Following Tofu and Green tea, it is time [...] Continue Reading »
