A video recap of day two, tho I’m not really prioritizing video on this trip, so it’s just snippets of the most eye catching bits.
Your #japan phrase of the day is:
私もつま
or watshi mo tsuma which means “my wife” as in “I am travelling with my wife” or “my wife lost her usb charging cable on the plane and i had to buy her a new one at the convenience store at 6 am yesterday morning.” [read more...]

Your #japan phrase of the day is
わかりません
or wakarimasen meaning “I don’t understand.” …something I suspect we’ll be getting some good mileage on this first few days. I took a bunch of Japanese lessons (and of course 10 months of duolingo) but this has just started to get me a toehold into a complex and beautiful language.
In the meantime enjoy this #panoramic pic which is something I actually do understand. [read more...]

Our first hotel is just a ten minute walk from the famous scramble crossing. The area nearby is essentially got a #japan times square vibe. Shopping. Lights. Food. People. Nightlife. We’re crazy jetlagged so we just wandered a bit and then back to the hotel to try and adjust our schedules. [read more...]

Now that the snow has arrived and the cold winds are whipping through the streets, our Sunday #running adventure was a little chillier than we’ve been acclimated. We logged a simple eight klick run plotted to keep the wind at bay and avoid the too icy trails. Post-run coffee tho was definitely a warm up.

Today marks the third anniversary of this applet and website. Back in November 2022 I launched the first version of a little tool to share some pics of our New York vacay while simultaneously avoiding Big Social Media.
I never would have thought I’d still be using it three years later, let alone spending a full day improving the code (yet again!) But here we are.
I haven’t still not decided if I’ll ever release said code, but I’ve been working quite a bit to ensure it is stable and secure. I’ve added new features over the last couple months and just this past weekend stabilized my dashboard login so that it’s secure and reliable while traveling and posting on foreign networks. It been more work than actually packing for the trip itself!
