Niseko 2025

In January we did another trip to Japan for skiing. Oscar and Evie really enjoy skiing and a few of the school families go to Japan every year as it really has the best snow! We also went to Hong Kong on this trip which was actually really good fun,

Tokyo 2024

I didn't think I'd be going back to Japan so soon but I had a good reason to go. My nephew came with me for this trip it was short but very good fun. We walked about 105,000 steps in the 4 full days we

One thing wrong with Tokyo. I can’t find anywhere to buy fruit. I can’t find any where that sells food with fruit in. I managed to find a bannana at Starbucks. That is the only fruit I have eaten since Australia I think. Whilst in Japan let me

I heart Tokyo

I really like Tokyo and I don’t really know why. Maybe it is because the people don’t seem to hassel you and the service is great. You can walk into an electronics shop and play with all the stuff and no one will bother you unless you talk

Tekken 5

I know I thought I did not have jet lag but that was clearly wrong. After having a lay down at 18h00, I thought I was in for a 1 hour nap; I woke up 7 hours later! So I have still not seen Japan at night, that is planned
