So getting more settled here – I’ll try and get a few more updates going, but it’s constantly awesome and amazing the variety of places there are to eat, to shop, to hangout. And there isn’t even a service like Yelp to cover it all. I’m so accustomed to using some geolocation food finding app when I’m in a new place, so this is new, just walking around trying to find something great, and most of the time succeeding. It maybe requires a little more skill, especially in finding little cheap and tasty eateries, but at the same time I get to practise my Japanese a whole bunch. Yay. I’m on the hunt for a tempura place for tonight, and think I have one in my sights (a chain no less!), I have heard good (and, most importantly, cheap) things about it. We’ll see how it goes. <\/p>\n
Another advantage of currently living in Japan is that all these wonderful different ways of brewing coffee that have previously been a little expensive and hard to import to the UK are now open to me. Though I toyed with the idea of getting a vacuum coffee maker, I actually went ahead and got a Hario V60 instead. It was cheap (sub \u00a5500) and makes a wonderful (and rocket fuel strength) cup. So happy that I went ahead and got one. I’m enjoying the pour over revolution #pouroverrevolution? <\/p>\n
Anyway, I do get a whole bunch of time free to explore, read and enjoy life. Currently finishing Thinking, Fast and Slow<\/em>, and in the thick of The Language Instinct<\/em> and The Art of Being Unreasonable<\/em>. Also getting into a bunch of timelapse photos (really breaking in my 5D3’s shutter…) catching some gnarly sunsets and clouds over the Tokyo skyline. Oh and there’s the G.O.O.D. Music Cruel Summer<\/em> album in addition to Food and Liquor II<\/em> (finally!) to listen to. Yay. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So getting more settled here – I’ll try and get a few more updates going, but it’s constantly awesome and amazing the variety of places there are to eat, to shop, to hangout.
