Everyone I know (and I) would consider curry a British food. Who doesn't think that?

One of the problems with growing up poor is you don't realise that rich people options are available to you once you're no longer poor.

Ahh. I am the worst, I was literally in Japan for a full month and didn't see any live sumo, they follow me back to London and I'm in Greece for the weekend!

I am being influenced so hard to go see sumo at the Royal Albert Hall. Are there even still tickets left?

My inherent urge to not want to burden anyone robbing professional movers from a relatively easy job.

Next year I really want to move. However, the thought of having to deconstruct all my furniture and pack away all my stuff, to a deadline, really sounds like the worst thing in the world.

London graffiti is incredibly pro-palestine, with a little bit of anti-UK government sentiment mixed in. Athens graffiti is a little bit of pro-Palestine amongst a mass of anti-Israel statements. "DEATH TO THE IDF" and "FUCK ISRAEL" statements would never last in London (councils would cover it up.)

Actually, the claim that the meaning was inverted and the quote "the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb" don't have any original sources. It was a theory posited but without any evidence. So, it's likely the original meaning is actually the one we think of now.

In NY and then Tokyo I made the conscious decision to wander around without earphones in. I wanted to explore without music or podcasts, and I did find it more calming.

Every shoe store I went in or wandered past, my first sentence would be "what is the largest size you stock?" followed up with "Ah ok nevermind. Thank you!"

Why is it everyone I know who is a window cleaner fucking loves their job like nothing else. In ENGLAND? Where it rains all the time?

The Athens airport background music was real funky.

Back in London and I forgot how much joy it is to eavesdrop on awkward coffee shop first dates.

Sometimes in life you have to check luggage, but my god having to wait around for it after a 15 hour flight does not seem worth it.

I have had two bowls of noodles and three cocktails. Let's board this 15 hour flight.

Things I am looking forward to when back in Europe from Japan: not using cash, sparkling water, fruit.

I kept hearing about it being overwhelming and busy and everything. As a Londoner visiting for my first time, I get here and it's like... A sleepy town? Everywhere? It's wild.

There should be a BlueSky setting where it doesn't show me posts from people I don't follow who have restricted comments. I wanna be able to reply to stuff I see! Otherwise what is the point!

I feel like even Google wants you to do this, because if you have gmaps giving you directions and you accidentally open any other location on the app, you'll lose the directions you're taking (and for public transport this means losing the train you're on, so the timings for connections etc.)

It's huge, full of people, but it's cheap and everywhere feels quiet. Even the "busy" bits aren't as busy as equivalent cities (NY, London).

I'm travelling and so had to watch the final two episodes one after the other, and uh, that was definitely the way to go. Felt like one big episode that flowed fine. I got the big ending and then a bit of post-ending wrap up.

I definitely want to visit Korea again, so maybe next time I can do a bigger Korea trip and then take the boat to Hiroshima from Busan.

Jamie @drinkcoffeerun.bsky.social · 6d
I'm OK with not getting to Hiroshima this time, it would have been good to see but also maybe too sad. Going to Seoul was a little sad, to be fair, thinking about what it would have been like to visit West Berlin.

Maybe next year is the year I train for a marathon? Like, only a marathon? It would be different.
