The Week #261

by
  • 🦃 I strolled a in a long park area in downtown Yokohama and to my surprise there was this guy walking chickens and a turkey. What's more is that after their walk along the river, he corralled them into a doggie-stroller, with the turkey perched on the handle. And he spoke to them like they were dogs and they listened. The entire time I thought where on earth do these birds live, there's nothing but high rises around here. I could have asked, but instead decided to enjoy the mystery.
  • 🫐 I watched the BlackBerry movie and really enjoyed it. It made me (again) a bit nostalgic for a time when life wasn't ruled by a rectangular glass handheld. And I'm not the only one. Gen-Z is also wants a BlackBerry.
  • 🏫 We went to see where one of the international schools we are considering is located. Not that a map isn't sufficient, but is a commute to it realistic. In this case, I think it is (primarily as it's on the way to my office). It might mean me commuting into the office everyday, which would be an adjustment, but as there's good reason, not unwelcome. I reckon it would also require a more structured morning routine on my part, but again, sometimes a forcing function is good.
