Vancouver・Mexico City・Toronto・Montreal 2026 – 1/3

The person who doesn’t like travelling has been travelling again. We went in August and we ‘had’ to go to Vancouver which isn’t such a bad flight from Tokyo. Ever since the direct flight to London became nearly 15 hours, anything around 10 and under has started to feel like nothing! We had a spare week and didn’t think there would be enough for us to enjoy in Vancouver for that long (we’re not outdoorsy) so then we were umming and ahing about where to go. It was going to be San Diego but that didn’t look like there was ...

American society

If you’re a Yank and you think you’ve got the best country in the world, I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt that you’ve never been abroad or you’ve only been to developing countries. If that’s not the case, you’re delusional. If you’re a Yank and you’re successful and you think that’s all down to your hard work, you don’t think the majority of people try to work hard? Your success is mainly down to luck and how arrogant if you don’t recognise that (but that is a national trait it seems). Your welfare state must really be nonexistent ...

I had a really nice day going to the art museum today. I really liked being able to go on my own but I love being on my own anyway.

I liked that.

This was my coffee this morning. I can’t even say my own name right apparently. I was talking to a British guy last night and it was so nice to not have to concentrate on the words I was using or how I was speaking. I need a break from people, I’m exhausted. I’m not cut out for American society.

09.09.26: I did end up going again today (there was never any doubt). I thought I’d get something different but it wasn’t a touch screen order thing like in Sacramento so I couldn’t. I wanted the crispy rice bowl (I think it’s called) but I didn’t want the rocket or the chicken, I wanted kale and tofu instead but I didn’t want to really talk – it’s too fast-paced and I get flustered easily and the woman could barely hear me anyway, so there you go!

I love Sweetgreen. I’d been before but I had it in my head I ...
