New Year’s Eve morning run with Gojira!
Did my usual TOHO round, but this time I actually looped around the studio complex and for the first time I ran past the main gate! And there I found a nice (albeit not too big) Gojira statue and this … Continue reading

Of Steaks & Owls
Starting the day with a quick 8km in 40 minutes run (and yoga for Ritsu, while Julius slept in very long) we then took our very sweet time to get ready to all go together to Akihabara to check out … Continue reading

Lazy Friday Mix
We had initially planned another mountain hike, but as pretty much every year, Julius catches a bug and kept coughing all night, so we kept things easy today. Starting with a leisurely slow jog with wife-y dearest to the not-so-far … Continue reading

Julius: Dentist & Unagi
Our trip to Japan is always a good occasion to have a check up with the dentist for Julius, especially since we have not found a new dentist in Colombo yet. They did some minor cavity work and I am … Continue reading

Super sunshine run to TOHO
In case you don’t know, TOHO is probably the biggest movie company in Japan and home of Gojira (Godzilla). I had already discovered that their studio is one my river running route last year. Today was a bit more mellow … Continue reading

Another earthquake …
Last year we felt a 5.9 quake on December 28. Today’s shake was rather minor, Ritsu did not even feel it in the bathtub. But Julius & I did. Interestingly, before I could find any confirmation on official websites or … Continue reading

Exploring Kamakura
As a one day trip we hopped on a train to Kamakura today. Took us about 2h to get to this seaside town which has tons of old temples, shrine and a huge Buddha statue. (Here is a nice pdf map.) … Continue reading

Train Sleeper
We are on our way to Kamakura for a day of temple / shrine exploration. And Julius, as the good Japanese boy that he is, immediately finds a comfy position and falls asleep! So much better than playing on his … Continue reading

Early morning sunrise run in freezing 2˚C
Since we had a full day trip ahead of us, I had to get up extra early to get my running in. Which meant: no sun when I started and it was really really cold. On the other hand, more … Continue reading

Morning Run between 2 rivers
This morning I tried a new approach to ‘getting lost in the Tokyo suburbs’: I planned the route ahead! Found a nifty app called ‘footpath’, and while it is not 100% accurate at snapping to streets (it especially seems to … Continue reading

Xmas Day
Starting the day with presents, as usual. But boy, Santa is having a hard time with 13 year olds. Really hard to get some presents when even the young teenager has no idea what he wants (other than online game … Continue reading

Christmas Eve Day
