  • A Little Bit of Germany in Japan
    August 26th, 2009By Lieske Leynen
    When you live abroad, one of the many things you miss is food. Not food in general. By no means are you going to starve in Japan, but you miss the food you had back home. Things that had been easy to come by but aren’t any more. Being a little » Continue Reading

  • The Hub in Ikebukuro
    April 28th, 2009By MikE EkiM
    Recently I found myself living in Tokyo for 2 weeks of company training.  As with all training ventures, it was only appropriate to find a local bar where one could hang out if one so desired.  The Hub in Ikebukuro, is definitely one such place.  There are actually 2 Hub’s in » Continue Reading

    Two weeks ago I found myself in a situation that I had since coming to Japan begun to accept and become accustomed to. The second leg of the Champions League last sixteen was coming up and there was no way I was going to miss the clash between Sir Alex and » Continue Reading

  • Tanuki Bar
    March 12th, 2009By Aleisha Riboldi
    There are no shortage of bars in Hirafu (Niseko’s main ski village), and I think I have discovered my favourite one – Tanuki Bar. It is awesome on so many levels: firstly, it’s called Tanuki Bar.

  • O-bar aka the Shibuya Standing Lounge
    February 20th, 2009By Ace Riley
    “Do not give the staff any drinks, because they are alcoholics! Do not feed the animals! (They bite!)” Is exactly what it says above the bar both in English and Japanese. With a slogan like that you know that it must be a good bar. » Continue Reading
