AirBnB apartment exit day has arrived and we are making the giant move, all of five stops on the Japan subway using the Tanamachi line from Sembayashi-omiya to Umeda. Unfortunately we were unable to extend our stay here and will relocate today. Day 47 – April 19th, 2014 All packed and cleaned up (a little) […]
One more sleep in our Sembayashi-omiya apartment before moving to Umeda for a week stay at hotel Ill Grande Umeda. We would have been staying in Tokyo for the next three weeks however our plans have changed and we will now be sailing with our friends on their yacht from Osaka to Nagasaki during Golden […]
We slept in this morning feeling rather tired after our recent round trip from Osaka to Takayama, Shirakawago and Kanazawa and back to Osaka which was awesome. Even though we didn’t over do it, sightseeing is tiring. Day 45 – April 17th, 2014. First thing was to do all the washing and then start packing the bags […]
Today we had a lazy one, only venturing out for lunch at our usual place. The weather is just fine and flowers are blooming in the planter boxes along the streets. The Japanese really do use every inch of space some of the places have trees growing right in front of the windows. Day 39 […]
Shopping in Japan is a feast for the senses, your eyes don’t know where to look first, your nose is smelling fresh produce, your ears are listening to the chatter of local shoppers and you can feel the fruits and vegetables. The only thing missing is the taste, but not for long as you can […]
Warning, riding a bicycle in Japan is serious fun but also seriously dangerous. Actually just walking along the footpaths can be hazardous at the best of times. The footpath is shared with cyclists and both get in each other’s way. We were witness to a nasty collision in our first week in Japan, as a […]
Getting to know Sembayashi-omiya a bit more today in between writing and talking to clients. We had to stay close to home for the majority of today as Moni had a few client calls and needed to do some writing. But even so, we did manage to break up the day somewhat. Day 36 – […]
Another busy day writing for Moni as deadlines loom. All is good though and we are really enjoying our time in Japan. There is so much to see in this country, lots of history and fascinating places to visit. I do believe that Japan even though small in size has so much to offer that […]
Japan has always been a destination that has the stigma of being expensive, and certainly I’d agree some things are very expensive. But like most places you visit you’ll find high end and low end options, especially when it comes to food and more specific eating out. The Japanese love eating out, probably due to […]
Sembayashi-omiya is an area of Osaka which has been our home for nearly two weeks now and today we check out a local coffee shop followed by the evening spent alone in an Indian restaurant. Day 31 – April 3rd, 2014. Rise and shine… a good nights sleep yes, up and on with business… Then […]

‘This book is like an adrenaline shot for getting it DONE! It goes well beyond the typical “beat procrastination” advice and dives into interesting & juicy topics such as your energetic environment, tapping into your “why,” and viewing procrastination as an opportunity to learn rather than an obstacle. Definitely a must-have for any entrepreneur’s library.’
