Tokyo 2017 – Last Day in Tokyo…this time!

I have thoroughly enjoyed documenting my travel experiences in Tokyo here on my blog. And equally love the comments and discussions that result from fellow bloggers and others that follow me on social media. People that have also been to Japan, Tokyo or specific things like a suburb or an experience. Equally rewarding is hearing…

Tokyo 2017 – My food journey

Hope that you have been enjoying my recent blogs about my travels through Tokyo in August of this year. I thought that I would put together a little blog about what sort of food and meals I enjoyed whilst I was there. I am not a food blogger so don’t expect a review-like read full…

Tokyo 2017 – My Daily Update Home – Part 5 (The rest of the day)

I didn’t get a chance to get a blog out last week. Turned out that my trusty MacBook Pro was feeling quite old and tired and one morning it just wouldn’t start up. And when it finally did it was malfunctioning and doing all sorts of crazy things. I knew this was was coming as…

Macro Photography – Fujifilm XF60mmF2.4 & MCEX-11

Since my return from Tokyo towards the end of August I have been in a considerable slump when it comes to my photography. I have not felt inspired or motivated to get out and capture any street photography. And what little I did capture has been as a result of having my Fujifilm X70 camera…

Tokyo 2017 – My Daily Updates Home Part 5 (Ghibli Museum)

Before I get into my blog I just wanted to make an observation. It feels like there are so many people I know currently in Japan or have just returned from Japan. Especially my photography friends. And people commenting on my social media posts. And that probably just makes my longing to return to Japan…

Robot Restaurant – Shinjuku, Tokyo

A couple of weeks ago I wrote and published a blog about my evening at the Robot Restaurant in Shinjuku, Tokyo. You can read more about that by clicking here. On that evening I took with me my Fujifilm X-T2 and the Fujifilm XF23mmF2 lens. This combination performed exceptionally given the circumstances. It was a very…

Tokyo 2017 – Tokyo Taxi and my fascination with the seemingly mundane!

Welcome to another instalment in my recent travels to Tokyo. On each of my three trips to Japan over the last three years I have been fascinated with the quality and capacity of the public transport systems employed especially in the greater cities such as Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto. Moving millions of people every day…

This is a little side journey away from my current blog series in which I am writing about my recent trip to Tokyo, Japan. You can read my latest entry here. My daughter has just turned 16! I am feeling older and older by the day. Anyway, as part of her list of Birthday demands…

Tokyo 2017 – Robot Restaurant – Shinjuku

For those of you that have been following along at home, you will have read in my last blog post – My Daily Update Home – Part 4 – that I wrote home to my family about the mind bending experience I had when I visited the Robot Restaurant in Shinjuku. In that blog I…

Tokyo 2017 – My Daily Update Home – Part 4

The previous day had been massive to say the least. Especially the night! You can read about that one here. It was not a terribly late night but one filled with much merriment and equal portions of Japanese beer. And it would be fair to say that I was feeling a little tired and dusty…
