A Sleepless Night in Tsukiji
Sleep is wonderful. Not having sleep is the opposite of wonderful. Not wonderful? No…it’s a lot worse than that. Perhaps I’ve waited so long to write about this particular experience because of how much I wanted to forget the time around it. Sleep deprivation does not make a me a happy person. And keeping a…

Weird and Wonderful Food, and Experiences
Weird and Wonderful Food and Drink I was complemented on my curry udon eating technique today because of the lack of curry sauce on my white coat – little did they know I spilled it on my trousers instead. Curry udon consists of udon (duh), which are thick wheat noodles, in a curry sauce with…

Tokyo Nights
I’m slowly catching up, but still way behind with my Tokyo activities. Apologies if there are horrendous spelling and grammar mistakes, but it’s hard enough to draft a post on this thing let alone do any quality control. Another day of vascular surgery, another wound sutured. I didn’t expect to be so involved, but it…

The First Week (Well, almost all of it)
Apologies for the lack of updates, but things have been fairly non-stop since I started in the hospital on Monday. People generally don’t walk very far around these parts, and Katsu insisted I took a taxi on my first day so I wasn’t late, but in the busy morning traffic it proved impossible to hail…

Tokyo…how did it take me this long to get here?
This is an amazing city. I had my first vending machine experience at the airport – a beverage not entirely unlike fizzy grapefruit juice – and I see them absolutely everywhere. Nothing too odd so far, just drinks and cigarettes. I took the Limousine bus to the Grand Hyatt Hotel, and walked from there, much…

Sky Blog One
Blogging in the Sky There’s a first time for everything. First steps. First video game console. First kiss. All the important milestones, and now, this is both my first time using WiFi in the air, and my first time blogging from the sky. The Linx tablet is perfect for this scenario, given its compact size…

The Land of the Rising Sun – Brought to you by ODGamer
Huzzah! The first leg of my journey is well under way. I’m sitting in Dublin airport departures enjoying their (surprisingly) free WiFi, and attempting to get to grips with my portable blogging setup. I’ve brought my Linx 7 tablet and the Belkin QODE case, and I can already feel repetitive strain setting in. This isn’t …

Freedom, Japan, and Cameras
Tuesday marked my last exam, and I have been free as a bird since then. My time over the last week has been spent packing away things in Belfast, buying and getting to grips with my camera, and preparing for Japan. I still haven’t fully come to terms with the fact I’m going to Japan…
