No idea. Can you tell if that bloke is wearing R M Williams boots? RMs are usually a sign.

I love the Japanese art of goodbye. My favorite is the airport after the plane pushes back, and the staff line up and wave [even to the economies

We are all saddened to hear that 'Dr Yellow", the inspection Shinkansen, will be retired by 2027. The inspection equipment is now being integrated into regular bullet trains; a special train is no longer required. If you see 'Dr Yellow', it means good luck.

Kansai International Airport (KIX) in Osaka is marking its 30th anniversary. In 30 years, the airport has never had a single case of lost luggage caused by the airport. Hundreds of millions of bags… all carefully delivered. Read ↓.

Former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern's valedictory speech yesterday was moving and, in my view, one for the history books. She covered a lot in 30 minutes. I had an overwhelming sense of returning to the start where her true authentic self resides, which has been

American online rascal Johnny Somali, who has been sleeping in a Japanese jail for the past few months for being a habitual shit, has been sentenced to a fine of ¥200,000 today and will be swiftly kicked out of the country forever.

Japan's Meteorological Agency has issued, for I believe only the second time ever, the highest alert level as Typhoon No. 10 approaches Kyushu. NHK reports a large-scale disaster is expected, and extreme vigilance is required from now. Read ↓.

Yikes, many New Zealanders are packing a sad about Domino’s new bilingual menus. I can reassure you that Domino’s Japan has had bilingual menus, website and staff since ages ago, and everything has turned out just fine.

An elderly woman has been rescued tonight, 124 hours after the earthquake occurred in Japan's Ishikawa Prefecture on Monday. She was found trapped in a collapsed house in Suzu City. Her survival is a miracle. This footage is from The Chunichi Shimbun. Watch ↓.

The fatal incident at Tokyo's JR Shinagawa Station about an hour ago is, I understand, being investigated as a potential homicide, with witnesses reporting someone was pushed in front of the train.

Another knife incident this morning. This time on the Tokyo Metro Fukutoshin Line at Shibuya. Last night, there was a knife incident on the JR Yamanote Line at Akihabara. The cops are well-equipped to capture these villains in short order.

The New Zealand forestry industry has a considerable labour force and heavy equipment... all of which are very familiar with handling logs. Social conscience tells me deploying these now to the public cyclone clean-up would be the least they could do. Tweet the companies!

It's hard to beat a GarGari Kun on a hot Tokyo day (37ºC). I am forever endeared to this ice block brand after their 2016 TV advert when they had to raise their prices for the first time in 25 years, from ¥60 to ¥70 (basically 10 cents). Here's the ad ↓.

2024 has arrived in New Zealand. Happy New Year, everyone!

This is fantastic news. Arise Dame Jacinda.

Every day, the Tokyo Metro system is impeccably clean.

shared an amazing video showcasing the meticulous efforts put into maintaining the cleanliness of the

trains and stations.

The 7 million households in Tokyo are receiving a disaster prevention info kit. Mine came this morning. Book 1 is 179 pages of disaster preparation; book 2 is 275 pages of what to do when disaster strikes. Emphasis on getting people on the same page in advance.

Fuel tanks. The heavy roof floats to keep downward pressure on the fuel inside. This means there is little vapor space on the surface of the fuel, reducing fire risk.

Love how my fellow Kiwis are trending ‘#NZHellHole’ in response to the outgoing* US President’s remarks comparing #NewZealand’s #COVID19 numbers and handling with the US. NZ will call out bullshit when it sees it. Click the hashtag ↑ to see all the fun being had! (*

My sixth shot of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine is now in situ! This time the mix is XBB.1.5. I had no reaction to the previous shots, so I am counting on the same scenario today. We are very fortunate to have a ridiculously efficient vaccine system in Japan.

Oh my Christ, we are not seeing a revival of this type of discourse in New Zealand, are we?
