When you arrive at the station in Japan and see a sign like this, you know you’ve been out too late.

What a great place to go for a walk with a gorgeous wife. Nothing beats the Hawaiian sunset. But Okinawa comes close…

Ginza has always been a great place for food. Had many dates there due to so many excellent restaurants. The last few years we’ve heard Korean, German, Swedish, French, English, and lots of Chinese just walking down the street.

Recently, lots of Chinese friends buy 5000 yen suitcases there to fill with their shopping for the day and take back to the homeland. Is Ginza becoming Tokyo’s next Chinatown?

It’s amazing how some of these bathrooms in Tokyo have such great views. Can you name the building?

Wish we could work every day in a place with sunsets like this. Can you guess where this is?

Great food for thought.

She’s smart, she’s dynamic, and she’s a politician not too different from those she challenges. 

Is it possible for nearly a city-state tokyo governor Yuriko Koike to make a win with her newly founded Party of Hope on Oct 22?

It was only meant to be a quick check in the AM.  Checking the fence turned out to be an all day demolition job.  Don’t think we’ll ever use wood for any type of fencing.

Have you ever got pulled into something that took a lot more work than you expected?

It is fascinating to see this concept for the company named for Paul Newman, the famous American actor.  Newman’s Own brand is a company that makes what appears to be good quality products.  In the past, we’ve seen mostly salad dressing but on a recent visit to a small super market you can see that they are making a lot of different products now.  Just buying the product, you may not notice, but with a closer look you see that Newman’s Own Company broadcasts on their packaging “All Profits To Charity”.

It’s a noble cause to give all your profits to charity.  The company seems to focus on creating products of higher value and have a good line up so they must be growing.  It seems these days so many company’s are focused on producing mass market junk food.  The pictured Black Licorice was purchased in an organic supermarket and is probably filled with a lot of sugar, organic no doubt. However, having a company that sends all the money, after they’ve paid salaries, expenses, and production costs, outside is amazing.  This will be an interesting corporate concept to watch.  Also will be interesting to research what charities they give to.  Doing things for others is what makes the world a better place!

We’ve seen the people walking on treadmills as they work their computers at a desk, we’ve seen others standing at their desks, however here’s a new way to get exercise at work, take the stairs. 

It seems a bit different but if you’ve got to travel upstairs, here’s a chance to hoof your way to your office, especially if you’re on something under the tenth floor and have access to the stairwell. To strong hearts and strong legs!
