Exploring Tokyo, July 2010

From La Fuji Mama, Today, Read 0 times. Similar articles

If someone had told me a few years ago that I would have a group of friends that I had made on the internet, I would have thought that they were crazy. Fast forward to the present, and that is exactly what has happened. Life as a food blogger has given me a community that has the same passion for life and food as I do. I feel truly blessed to have met many of these friends in real life. One such friend is Mac, the creative force behind Dishin’ In The Kitchen. I say... Read more

Our Man is being de-briefed as we speak in Blighty, but he just thought he would break radio silence to say: everything is connected.There was Our Man not 50 minutes ago making a cup of tea in Our Little Sister's Victorian terrace, about to tuck into a Krispy Kreme donut for breakfast, when the wireless in the kitchen picked up BBC Radio 4 and the nasal tones of Jake Adelstein (OK, an actor doing his best Jake Adelstein turn) reading bits from his Tokyo Vice book about how to cultivate contacts...

Nagoya-jo

From Chipango, 2 days ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles

Nagoya’s most important sight is its castle, Nagoya-jo (????).... Read more

So we made a Korea version of it. Martina and I took the taxi home from Seoul, and - hell - Seoul's so beautiful at night that we had... Read more
