And Sometimes Why David Hed This blog is generally about small things that strike me as odd or interesting. I occasionally post about trips I take or significant events, but I make no guarantees that what I like will appeal to any but my own deranged psyche. Matsuyama
nekoblog nekochan I'm a curious cat from Switzerland, bewitched by everything beautiful. While travelling in Japan I discovered an immense beauty within the lifestyle, mentality and nature of this country. With contrast being one of my hugest sources of inspiration, I never grow tired of exploring the depths of Japanese culture. This blog is where I document my journey and share it with whomever it may interest. One special trait of Japanese culture I aquired is the preparation of Bento. Making a Bento is choosing and preparing food and arranging it into a lunchbox to present a delicious but also beautiful meal. Other than making bento, I write about many different topics on my blog, most of them on something Japanese such as Japanese lifestyle, art and cuisine, but there are also japan-unrelated articles about my life in Switzerland.

I came back home after 9 due to overtime and turned on TV, then saw Prime Minister Noda talking with the newscaster on today's "News Watch 9" (a NHK's news program). What happened?  It sounded like they were talking about a future tax increase etc. I hope Japan's financial situation will get a bit better in the next decade.

It's early in the game, and Japan - It's A Wonderful Rife is sure Honda will provide a sports car version of it.

Judge for yourself:

Cheapo Coffee: Segafredo

I like to think that being a cheapo is not merely about paying the least possible – I like to think that it’s not paying any more than necessary for what one wants. Therefore, if quality is what the cheapo wants then quality is what the cheapo gets! …just without over paying. With this sentiment, [...]
