As we age, we change. I think we can all agree on this. Our bodies change, our friends change, our understanding of things change, our hopes change, our needs change, our outlooks change, our beliefs change, and so much more. When I was younger, I was someone that liked hanging out with others. I liked…
An Island (not the main island) and Gardens by the Bay. Oh, and yes still Humid.
The next day we went to an island called Palau Ubin. This required a subway and then a bus and then a boat to the island. Once there we rented bicycles to get around on. These bikes we worn and uncomfortable. I know I am a bit of a bike snob, but these were bad….
More Outdoor Fun – Did I Mention it’s Humid
The next day we were off to the Botanic Gardens. “B” really wanted to spend time at their orchid area, and it didn’t let us down. It did cost extra to get into that area, but the rest of the garden was free so no worries there. The orchids were lovely. It rained on and…
Welcome To Singapore – Humid? Oh yeah!
After breakfast we had to catch our flight to Singapore. To be honest I was not excited about going to Singapore. But “B” really wanted to and we had read that seeing otters in the wild, or even in the city, was a high possibility so we were going. My seat got messed up by…
The Insyderz – Ska Rules
I have talked about music I like before. I like a range of music. The Insyderz are one of the bands that I really enjoy. Their music has changed some over the years, and I think it has gotten much better. They started in 1996, and are from the Detroit, Michigan area. They were a…
Getting Naked with Others, Waterfalls, and Saying Goodbye to Japan
The next day we had to be up early and check out of our Airbnb. So far this had been the best one so far. I would certainly suggest it to anyone heading to Kyoto with a few people (or a family). We made it to the train station and caught our first train down…
A Motorcycle Fork Fix
I mentioned the other day about how I had to do some house work when we got back from our trip. Well, I also found that my front fork on my Kawasaki motorcycle was leaking. I did some reading and watched some youtube videos, and found that the job was something I could do myself,…
One of the Best and One of the Most Stress-filled Days
So our time in Japan was coming to an end in a few days. This day had a big event planned. “B” and the girls had been watching videos of Otters online for months. They were associated with these otter café’s in Japan. Well, “B” found out that she could schedule an hour of private…
Home Repairs After the Vacation
As you all know I recently got back from 7 weeks in 3 foreign countries. I hope you have been enjoying reading about the trip from my point of view. There is much more to come. I think you are about half way through the trip at this point (or thereabouts). Well, once we got…
A Golden Temple, Jewelry, and too much time out and about.
For our first day in Kyoto “B” ended up making it a massively full day. We had planned to go to Kinkaku (the golden temple) and then do a little shopping and call it a day, BUT as is quite normal with my wonderful wife, she saw more things “in the area” to do. First…
