This guy is serious. He runs all over Tokyo on his Trek. Have never seen someone equipped with so many water bottles.
There are far too many things made of plastic or wrapped in plastic...especially in Japan. It's becoming an environmental issue.
Avoid purchasing PET bottles is one thing every person can do. Pretty nice to have a stainless steel bottle and just carry your own water.
Highly recommend everyone get one with a stainless steel cap as well (on the inside). It minimizes and odors from drinking directly from the bottle. Incidentally, stainless steel bottles with plastic lids require a bit more frequent cleaning.
We heard that carrying your own water bottle has become the 'in' thing in the Silicon Valley area. Wow! Glad to hear we're trend setters!
We have just finished the Heisei Era for Japan with the abdication of the throne by Emperor Akihito to his son the crown prince. The new era is called "Reiwa".
The cherry blossom season begins in Tokyo. These trees in Tokyo's Nihonbashi district always begin to flower just before the full bloom of the cherry blossom trees in Tokyo. It's s good sign.
As millions of tourists flock in to see the flowering trees we can be assured warmer weather is on its way!
If you like good sushi, it's hard to find it outside of Japan. However, even in Japan good sushi isn't just something any person born in Japan can make.
There's the good, the bad, and the so-so. If you want good sushi, one restaurant in Japan for sushi that has never let us down is Chojiro. The quality of the fish is always good. Even if you don't like fish, they have some other great options with beef, veggies, and more
PS. 'Kaiten' In Japanese means conveyer belt sushi. Kaiten actually means 'going around'. When you're looking for good food, the last thing you want to be doing is wandering around and hoping for the best.
When someone is negative, we have a choice to jump in the pool with them OR turn and head the other direction. I opt for the other direction. It's going to be a great day!
