After months of overblown virus fears, we’re seeing people back to work and the subway cars filled. Starting to miss those empty train rides in May and June…
However, after all the damage to the economy and businesses gone bankrupt, glad to see a busy train.
Looking leisurely for 8 months, and more seriously for 3 months for an endurance road bike. Decided finally on a Canyon bicycle from Koeln (translated into Cologne in English for some reason) Germany.
Ordered on Monday Morning around lunch and received on Wednesday 1825pm. Surprised we could get it quicker than if we ordered it at a local bike shop.
Well done Canyon and well done UPS! Very impressive service for something that doesn’t fit in an envelope!
The convenience of cycling around the countryside of Japan is we’ve got vending machines everywhere.
A quick pit stop at a vending machine in front of a strawberry farm during the am workout. Sports drinks just 100 yen a bottle (About 1 USD). What a deal!
It’s great to get out and get some exercise in during the week. Lots of gentlemen (and some ladies too!) in Japan are out walking, cycling, or even jogging every morning.
For eternal life, we have to know Jesus as our savior. But for long life while we’re in these bodies on this earth, nothing beats the big three.
A good sleep every night
Eating natural foods (not processed food from a production facility somewhere
Regular exercise- that means getting your heart rate up 3-4 times a week for at least 20 minutes.
I will live long and strong. That’s my confession (or affirmation). What about you?
Walking back to the office you can see Mitsubishi Estate, who owns must of Marunouchi (near Tokyo Station) has got cool water streaming and streets turned into green areas. It’s hot out there!
This is a great little cake shop in Ginza, a mostly high end shopping area in central Tokyo.
Very cute what they did with their company character just outside of their shop. It seems virus fears are subsiding finally and people are getting back to normal.
Time to eat cake or one of their great cream puffs (locals call SHU KURIIMU)!
It was very strange. Had ridden about 60km in 34 degree (C) weather. Took this picture at a rest stop. Is this real?
Was sitting at a marble ‘picnic’ table, turned to take a pic of the golf course club house along the Tone River North of Tokyo on the edge of the Kanto plain. This is an untouched picture. Look at that sky!
