Hitting a dedicated bike lane in Tokyo brings relief & joy. Cycling in spring—free from cars & pedestrians—is truly wonderful. Bike lanes and parking networks are key for healthier cities/people. Yes, car parking is available—but at $15–$30 a day, it adds up. Free street parking is a foreign concept

That said, it’s a pretty good system. More cycling lanes are being rolled out, and owning a car is a choice, not a necessity. What makes it work—often overlooked—is bicycle parking: ~100 yen a day, holding hundreds or thousands of bikes, literally everywhere, often underground with conveyor belts.

Endless illegally parked cars do line most main roads—and smaller ones too. People ‘just ducking into shops’ or (usually guys) sitting in their cars on phones. Police rarely move them on, making things a nightmare for cyclists—especially now the new blue ticket system kicked in this week.

Language skills & cultural understanding are crucial for integration . Simply saying “Japan needs workers” is not good enough . France did that in the 1960s, & it has turned out very badly . There's no point in filling Japan with low-skilled workers, automation and AI are making those roles obsolete

The slow uptake of solar and EVs in Japan isn’t helping . That said, I’m starting to see more houses with rooftop solar . There’s a solid range of government subsidies pushing households toward renewables . Unfortunately, awareness is still low — and many simply don’t care . But it’s slowly changing

Firstly, the Sinners script is pretty average. Sure, I get the whole “metaphor for racism in the Deep South” angle, but it still feels like a ham-fisted, by-the-numbers Hollywood script. . Secondly, it’s the Oscars — a ceremony Americans assume the whole world is watching. But hellooo…

On a recent visit the NZ I was surprised / shocked that very few houses had roof top solar. . Costs $150 per month to run a 5 bedroom house with air con and charge 2 x EVs that do a combined 1500km+ per month in Sydney with roof top solar. . Sure get the weather differences, but still.
