Today, November 5th in the year of our lord Buddha 2567, the weather was 28 flippin’ degrees celcius here in Osaka 🥵
#ClimateCrisis
Took the new bike for a ride down the river this afternoon. Hit the old Sakuranomiya Public Hall, which used to be the entrance of the Japan Mint; across the street is the current Mint building; the bridge beside the Mint lit up with Osaka Castle top right; the Imperial Hotel with a dinner cruise.
Been prepping for my trip to Istanbul next week. Getting excited! So much to see so I have to be choosy. If you have recommendations please share! 🛫🇹🇷

And now for a little specialty coffee. This is an Ethiopian bean from Tamiru’s Sky Project. You can learn more here shop.glitchcoffee.com/en/produc…

Found a nice little restaurant in the Asahi Newspaper buildings in downtown Osaka for lunch with my wife. I used to come to these buildings 20 years ago to train in jujutsu. A lot has changed!

Another of Japan’s charming manhole covers
Took the train up to Kyoto to the old apartment to pick up some things and see how the real estate agency interior designer staged the place with all kinds of modern furniture. We took some family selfies on the tiny European couch and at the dining table with the fancy plates 😂
Under the bridge art in Osaka
Well, we made it. Moved to Osaka successfully. Still some unpacking to do, but we made good progress. Really helps being minimalist 😅
Today at lunch the kids and I counted through every move we‘ve done since we first left Canada: 2020 = 4, 2021 = 3, 2022 = 3, 2023 = 1. We are getting good at it.
Went to Osaka to pick up keys to the new apartment. Popped into the neighbouring Tenjinbashisuji shopping arcade, which is said to be Japan’s longest at 2.6km and over 600 shops. Myakumyaku, the Expo mascot welcomes us!
Look what arrived the day before we move out! It is the pre-order I made forever ago of Jocelyne Allen’s translation of Susumi Higa’s award-winning OKINAWA manga. ⌛️😅📚
Goodnight Kyoto (from my balcony of the past 18 years)
Since I moved my standing desk, monitor, and everything out of the coworking space in preparation for our move to Osaka, this has been my standing work setup
On my way to get a latte ☕️ and maybe a slice of cake 🍰 just walking past a 13th C temple ☸️… as you do in #EverydayKyoto (only 4 more days left until we move 😢)
