Today I sent all the postcards from the Tokyo Central Post Office! It’s such a cool shot, from 50m up, you can really feel the town and a clear view straight to Fujisan. THE RACE IS ON! Outside Japan, who will be first? Which country will win the race? We’re sure to find out after the weekend ^_^ PS: the stamp is a limited edition Peanuts (snoopy) series which I was surprised to see from Japan. I like the collaboration. I like Woodstock 😜🐥

It was a nice day, Peter got me a nice lunch at a new Salmon Ramen place in Kagurazaka and Kanae got me a cake … and a ballon, with an odd number. No one in this photos is 50 years old — yet. But, I took it well, mostly. When I mess up, I can now say, “you remember that time … “ haha! Because it’s sure to happen, I’ll forget something so it’s good to have a sense of humor when things don’t go your way, like people thinking you’re WAY WAY OLDER than you are. I can’t wait ...

On Japanese national TV tomorrow @ 13:00-13:30
I’ll be on TBS Hiruobi again tomorrow from 13:00 to 13:30 to talk about Morioka being listed as one of the top 52 places you must visit in the New York Times this week. What do YOU think about Morioka making the list? I have to say something without butchering Japanese too bad 😂 on live national TV news program … yeah, I probably won’t be sleeping much. I haven’t been in for … 3 years!
