but a conscious decision for safety, comfort, and practicality in daily life – a good example of how technology and culture align. In Japan, you often see bicycles (especially...

Today is our last full day in Hiroshima. I have a slight muscle ache in my left calf and climbing stairs really hurts. We're going to spend today doing a bit of shopping.

Sorry, we are running a bit behind. Good morning Hiroshima. Breakfast on the 14th floor with a magnificent view of the Peace Square.

This morning we somehow couldn't get going. After our opulent breakfast, Schaahatz fell into a soup coma (which he had for breakfast), and I dozed off half-asleep. Yesterday was...

The somewhat short first night (I believe I only fell asleep around 5 AM, while Schahaatz - hardly had his first foot in bed at 1:30 AM - was already sleeping) we

Today we’re heading to Tokyo. Last night, shortly after we returned from the Asiatique market, the heavenly floodgates opened loudly, with thunder and lightning, and it rained...
