Star Class sucks!!

How to keep your boyfriend happy

The old adage “the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach” definitely applies to any hot-blooded male.

Buta no kakuni or Japanese Braised Belly Pork literally keeps his heart pumping hard, his cholesterol levels high and testosterone levels low. But I believe Naoki can afford it every once in a while so long as he works it off at the gym. 8 hours of sprinting per serve, maybe?

Long trip to Gotemba

A curious little beer snack: This sliver of processed cheese is sandwiched between strips of desiccated cuttlefish — a very unlikely combination but surprisingly tasty.

Gotemba was one of the best things we discovered this trip. Like Brandsmart, only way, way cooler.

For Naoki, Gotemba was also a first for him. We didn’t know what to expect. Would it be tragic like Brandsmart with European rejects from 8 seasons ago?

The journey to Gotemba from Osaka was also one of the worst trip ever. First, a train from Shinsaibashi to Osaka, then the Shinkansen to another state. From there, 2 train changes to Gotemba station, and then a shuttle bus to the shops. That’s nearly 4 hours of travel including transit.

What would one do with 4 hours of time to kill on the train? We would have blogged if we got a carriage with a power outlet, but no. We ate and drank so much along the way.

This would also be the first time I discovered the wonderful world of bento boxes and cheap beer.

Shipping Business

Ships

I love business trips to Japan. One of the greatest perks of being an owner’s representative at a Singaporean shipping agency is the expectably great number of business trips overseas and the opportunity to meet people at every port in Asia. This is all well until I saw my pay slip!
