In case anyone ever wondered what the far north of Greenland looks like, this is it (from my flight earlier this month).

I like to think the orange lights are from the elf workshop, not just reflections from inside the cabin.

Yeah I get it but…. man OG twitter used to be such a joy. I got a video with massive likes a day or so ago there but none of the silliness that we all were engaged in. The likes are nice but the chat is the gold. I’m gonna post here for the next bit and @ a few of the old gang; give Bluesky a try

Yeah it’s me Martin I am tuning in here and it feels vacant as does twitter. Oh how I miss the good old days. The golden era of Gaijin twitter was unlike any other virtual or real community that I have been part of. I get views and likes but all of it all feels broken 😒

Stitched panorama of the view of Tokyo from the i-Link Tower in Ichikawa, Chiba. This 43floor viewing deck is one of the best views of the city on a good day. Here we see the Skytree almost dead centre in the composition. With distant Shinjuku skyscrapers behind. Mount Fuji is in the very back of the left hand side of the frame. Orangey sky. Lots of clouds. The top of Fuji is covered by clouds. Just close to sunset.

Good morning. Dry & cool in Tokyo today. Doing a bit of catchup work in the office. Mentoring session online later with one of my clients in Australia. Fairly chilled but productive day in prospect.

Couple of shots from the i-Link Tower in Ichikawa for #Stunday. More in the ALT.

Luv&peace

I took my human to the beach

We spilled a tray of fried
oysters into the sand

a parent can
choose to not loose their
shit when the coveted
oysters are in the sand

My new iPhone fell into the
ocean this day
gone forever

I remained calm

My child said this was
the best beach day of his life

I pretty much signed out and took a pause there and now I am kinda paused here..

I shot a bunch of my nonsensical observations pictures and videos etc but

I’m on the fence about participating in social media in general again.

I don’t want to participate in anything connected to misery ✌️

How Japanese Green Tea is Made

Anybody that has followed me on social media knows of my incredible racism and contempt towards the Japanese

it’s well documented!

I absolutely can’t stand Japanese culture

Deep bow.

My apologies the white man is always right.

I would write more but I need to go kill someone in my minivan.

You are in the right country with the right attitude.

That’s such a bummer. We have followed each other on social media for a while now.
I essentially never complain but that license situation was not right.

In the end a younger guy passed me with a perfect score.

My Japanese partner who is objectively a bad driver passed on first try. Messed up.

This is at about 70% throttle. New motor we’ve put in this is insane. Full power it’s around 70kph.

It makes me furious just thinking about it. I have been coming here for 16 years! Very very few complaints. They absolutely without question discriminated against me and essentially ruined my first year here. Making me try over and over again. This type of cruel thing never ever happens here.

Don’t get me started 😀

I have been driving for 25 years in America without a single incident.

Getting my Japanese driver’s license was one of the hardest things that I have ever done in my life.

I almost never ever say things are unfair here but that was not reasonable or fair at all whatsoever

The reflection of an almost full moon on the water crosses the reflection of a passing Keisei line on an iron bridge, making us wonder if it is time to repent for all our sins, although this is the Good Place so we’re probably fine. I am also crossing the river on the way home on my bicycle last night. Ain’t language a blast?
