The Week #290
by James- βοΈ I made a trip to Fukuoka β and my first domestic flight in Japan...ever. I forgot how easy it is to fly domestically in general. No customs, no immigration, you can just get off the plane and go. Also the flights themselves are so short β just under 2 hours from Haneda, barely enough time for a drink.
Having an airport 2 stops from the central station is really nice.Β As is, it takes me a bit over an hour to get to Haneda and almost two hours to get to Narita. The scale of the cities seems very different. - π I met fellow MegaMaker Alan Bradburne for a coffee. We had a great chat about raising bilingual kids in Japan and tech. Always nice to meet people you've known online for years in meatspace.Β
- π₯Ά While I was away in Fukuoka, my main heater decided to break somewhere. My wife said she heard a snap sound, so perhaps a piece of plastic fatigued somewhere. I have a feeling like it might be a compressor failure (ala my AC in summer) as the outside box is spinning, but not making the usual noises.Β But there's no blinking lights, just a lack of heat coming out. Times like these I'm glad we have a kotatsu.
- π I finished my first book, The Running Ground (short video with the author). I wish I had highlighted more in the book itself, but it's a great memoir. Reading about running always motivates me to get out the door and participate in the simplest of sports.Β
