In Tokyo for a few days…

I am spending most of this week in Tokyo, if you haven’t been it’s a great city, in the same way that a Lamborghini is a great car – it’s something of an understatement, it’s a super city on an enormous scale (13m people live here) – and just like the Lambo you probably don’t want to be in it every day, but you should experience it at least once in your life…

Here are the things I love and hate about Tokyo:

LOVE

HATE

That there is a face mask epidemic here Distance from Narita to the City
A vending machine on every corner Lack of English for Shmucks like me
Passion for Karaoke That it takes 25 mins to travel 4kms in a Taxi
City views from my 35th floor hotel room Smoking everywhere
Being tall Fish surprises in every meal
Westernised etiquette Slow escalators

Anyone want to buy a house? Toil thrown in Free of Charge…

The ad is now live for 48 Bonnefin Road, which feels odd given all the B, S & T we put into it – you mean, we’re going to sell it NOW? After all that heartache? 

That it will soon be sold is now a reality and the fact that we may not recover all we invested a possibility… however there is something undeniably flattering about the photographs and the attention, the oohs and ahs to come (you hope) – as ego trips go, selling a beautifully renovated home is certainly one of the better ones, the chance to leave a lasting impact on the lives of many, impressed friends and relatives complimenting the new owners on the work they never did, but instead had the taste, wallet and common sense to buy instead!

Damn, why didn’t we think of that?

Do give me a shout if you know anyone who wants a nicely renovated home in Hunters Hill…. oohs and ahs included FOC.

We will have a small gathering on the 9th March around Ivy’s Christening. Here’s the homemade invite, quite pleased with how it turned out… Looking forward to the day.
