The perfect gentleman

So you aspire to be the perfect gent. sophisticated, suave and debonair.


Now you have the beer to match, the perfect combination! ermmm.....

Premium canned coffee

Canned coffee in Japan is common-place, in winter you have a choice of hot or cold, in summer just cold. There are endless varieties of coffee and new ones are released all the time promising "enjoyment", "joy", and with this particular example "radiance". I am sure you never thought you could get so much from a can of coffee...


Between you and me I think they all taste the same..... still this one has the nicest design for the can itself although it reminds me of a beer can.

Nothing compared to Nespresso though

Takao - Jimba

A couple of weeks ago had chance to hike from Mt. Takao to Mt. Jimba. Both are fairly near to Tokyo but the total hike is about 20 km and takes about 6 hours. Luckily..unluckily there was a reasonable amount of snow on the ground which made the going slower than usual Take strong legs ;-)
