  • City Extra, Circular Quay

    I invited Richard out after work to the Sydney Opera House for rePLAY, a video game music event performed by the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. We were going to have dinner at the Opera House before the event, but we postponed it because the place was completely packed and Richard was still quite full from a…

We went to Club Redfern not knowing what food they served there. Italian and seafood, apparently! There were barely…

  • All the Junk from Famima Japan

    It was already very late by the time we made it back to Tokyo by bus and checked in at the hotel. Not a single restaurant or grocer in the area was still open, so in desperation, we went into the corner convenience store Famima (short for FamilyMart) and swept every hot food they had…
