Hello from the top of Abeno HARUKAS 300, the tallest (non-tower) building in Japan. Here I am on the 60th floor. (We stayed on the 51st last night).

Check out today’s thread from Universal Studios Japan! Was overcast, but muggy. We hit Nintendo World 🕹 Jurassic Park 🦖 Attack on Titan ⚔️ and Harry Potter World 🧙♂️ Thought we could beat the summer crowds by going on a weekday. Turns out that was an idea shared by millions!😅 https://twitter.com/chadkoh/status/1537231962381111296

But if you DO go to USJ, you gotta take home here! https://twitter.com/chadkoh/status/1537264633274580992?s=21&t=mNW4fAsOrofgTUwSvghOyQ

It wasn’t too much of a big deal inside tbh, just an outer wrap. It is on the loop line so you don’t even have to be going to USJ. Next time you are down in Osaka, keep your eye out, and surprise him! 😜👍

We thought we would go on a weekday before summer break to beat the crowds. Unfortunately only about 10 million other people had the same idea!

がまだすドーム (雲仙岳災害記念館)に行く機会があれば是非！島原市の “with volcano” の接し方ってすごいなと思いました。享年にちょっと写真を取りました。火山から降りてくるガスのビデオを見てください。そのスピード！😱 😱 😱

Clothes shopping with my teenage daughter:
“Yeah, no, Dad, that won’t look good on you.”
“Why not? Are the colours too 70s?”
“No, just it’s more for … flat … people.”
😅 Very … diplomatic. 😅

What a stimulating day. I had an 8am meeting with a colleague and we jammed on some cool stuff. Had lunch with a friend and more sweeping conversations. Then an 8pm meeting with another colleague where we made some great connections. Collaboration is the best, isn’t it? 🥰

Super hot day. Had a lovely falafel, black(?) pita, and pomegranate juice at a cool Lebanese place on Kiyamachi. Long lunch and long catch-up talk with a friend. Good times! 🇱🇧 #kyoto

Just watched MICHIKO, a touching short film about a child of war born in China in 1939 who made it “back” to Japan many years later. Listen to the podcast for the full story http://chadkohalyk.com/2022/06/07/michiko/

#NowReading2022 When we went on our long train ride to Adventure World in Shirahama Wakayama, I got the audiobook of Been Aaronovitch’s latest in the Peter Grant series, “Amongst Our Weapons.” Lots of fun as usual! Kobna Holdbrook-Smith is a treasure.

Yup!
I don’t know how often they make rounds like this. I need to find out. I have been here for a month now, and I don’t think I heard them on past Sundays. Maybe because tomorrow is an Uposatha day?

Replying to @shatrunjay1412
Yup, in downtown Kyoto.
I usually see them on corners at big intersections, but this is the first time I have seen them wandering the sidestreets.

Sunday morning. I hear the calling of Buddhist monks on alms round as they walk down the narrow street in front of my house. I give some dana.
I had always lived in apartments in Kyoto, so never had this experience before. Anumodana! 🙏📿
