Hello Chris! I can't believe you read my story, thank you. To add context the Ryokan was located in Kanda, Tokyo and in the description was listed as a Ryokan, so it might've been a lie but I didn't consider that was possible, since I imagined Booking has a way to moderate that.

I'm still waiting for Chris and the boys to do the original Ninja Warrior. If you can do the Spartan Games, Biking across Japan and climbing Mt. Fuji you can handle Ninja Warrior.

Maybe if there is a beginner set of challenges. From what I've seen, the real one has only gotten harder and harder to do over the years.

I know a guy who does that. I would say there's no chance in hell Chris could do it. You need to be a gymnast for half the stuff and have the arm strength to hold your body weight up. Maybe Pete could do it, but even Pettas Sifu doesn't have a gymnast's body and would have to lose a lot of weight (losing muscle in his case). Play to your strengths.

Hearing Pete say he's continuing his energy drink addiction and he went to a dog show. I thought he was going to say he was competing in the agility competition. Lol 😂

My partner got me your book for my birthday this week (it is available in Australia). She said she read some of it and gave faint praise that it appeared to be well written. As she has PhD in History and also worked as a professional editor this was very understated approval.

Paint Shop pro was a great budget graphics program for its time. Have many happy memories using it back in the late 90's. :-)

@mto3009 Ай бұрын

I just finished your "Abroad in Japan" book and really enjoyed it. I grew up in Japan on a military base until heading off to college, so your book brought back a lot of fond memories of living and traveling in Japan but from a true "Gaijin" perspective. Keep up the work and looking forward to your next book should you decide to publish.

Chris - Would you ever consider signing & mailing book plates? Basically like a signed card that can go inside the book.

Go to the Watershed Bar in Akasaka, best bar in Tokio if you are ready to dish out 1600 to 2500 Yen for a drink. But those are world class drinks! The owner is a genuine mixologist.

Francis Ford Coppola did whatever he wanted with this new film because he paid for it all himself, so he didn’t have any production companies or shareholders to worry about. He had a vision and made it real, and I think that’s part of his genius.

Have you tried adding sake kasu to miso soup or portage? It makes for an excellent addition. 👍🏻

Golden Gai isn't especially crowded on weeknights outside one or two bars. So if you're on vacation, visit there all you want. Just know that it gets hectic on the weekends.

I’ve visited a lot of sake breweries in Japan and they’re definitely not all the same. You should check out some of the breweries like miyoshino shuzo in Nara or terada honke in Chiba to see how young brewers at old breweries are reinvigorating the industry. They both offer tours during brewing season. Alongside that, sake is growing quite a bit internationally. Besides the export market growth, breweries are being started all over the world. In the UK there’s at least two (dojima and kanpai). In the US where I live there’s at least a dozen. My wife runs a sake bar and shop and focuses primarily on education that’s also been slowly but steadily growing and we see a lot of passionate sake drinkers come through.
