Howdy strangers, friends and foes. This blog is primarily to post and share my thoughts, reflections and observations of my recent trip to the land of the rising sun. Along the way, I expect I’ll be posting film, TV and books reviews, some of my ill-informed musings on the current sorry state of the world we live in, and links to wonderful, intriguing and exciting things that tickle this correspondents fancy.

I hope you enjoy the ride.
