People are always surprised by my writing. “It’s so honest!” “Are you always this open?” “It’s refreshing to have someone share their experience without filters.” Those are just a few of the comments I’ve recently heard and I guess I should address them.

Some Notes on Moving to Japan – Satoshi Manor
It took me a while to figure out that Amazon.jp works well here but you need a new Prime membership if you want the free shipping. Once I cancelled my U.S. Prime and changed to Japan, life suddenly got a lot easier. I don’t plan on having a car so being able to have things…
Reflections on the Last Night in my Kaimuki/Kahala Studio

Getting High in Dubai – and other Emirati Stuff….
Dubai is so very brown grey during the day when you are outside, but inside and at night it is all neon and flash. It’s a lot like Vegas, really. I’m glad I didn’t book a longer stay – I think this is probably a great place to come with friends or family and a…
