I want new pillows and like everything nowadays, the choice is overwhelming. I don’t know the specifics of the pillow I want, I’ve never thought about it that much before, I just know I need one. I’ve been looking online but it can turn into hours just researching pillows. Maybe if I do it in Japanese it can count as Japanese practice? Then again, I’m not sure my teacher would be too interested in having an hour and a half conversation about that but she’d have to just get on with it if she’s going to outsource the topic to ...
Various Tokyo 2026
Bits of life.
Azabudai Hills – I don’t really care for places like this and the coffee was rubbish and I certainly wouldn’t have been paying ¥500 cover charge to go up there BUT I do love Tokyo Tower! Those two drinks were nearly ¥2,000 which is outrageous and in disposable cups.
Ryuichi Sakamoto at Azabudai Hills…it wasn’t anywhere near as good as the one at MOT.
The Museum of Contemporary Art is my favourite museum in Tokyo and probably one of my favourite places to go. The cafe is good too.
The National Art Center, Tokyo also have ...
=w= 2026 – USA
Whilst my mum was in Japan she encouraged me to get tickets for some of the US shows (it didn’t take much). The flight to the West Coast isn’t bad so that’s where I went – Sacramento, San Francisco, Portland and Seattle. I’d never been to any of them before.
Sacramento
Not to bore people but as I previously mentioned, my straighteners and my backup pair had both broken before I left so I had to order new ones to my hotel and they were at the waiting for me when I arrived. This is the fourth pair I own ...

Why do people in the US all seem to have those lawn chairs? (Is that what they are called? I don’t know what they are called in British English. Foldable chair?) Not only do they all seem to have them, they all seem to carry them about with them. I’ve never come across anything like it. People had them in the queue for the shows. When I went on a trip to various beaches in California, this guy was lugging one about with him. Also, when I was looking at theatre stuff, a lot of the outdoors ones said to ...
Vancouver・Mexico City・Toronto・Montreal 2026 – 3/3
My poor mum and my poor body! I really suffered in Toronto and Montreal and my husband was the same in Vancouver. The food poisoning lasted pretty much the entire time I was with my mum.
Toronto
I arrived the night before my mum so I could go and pick her up from the airport. She always has a really panicked look on her face before she sees me which makes me laugh. We trotted about but could never be too far away from the hotel!

Something was looking out for me because my stomach wasn’t so bad that ...
