Posting videos of my time in Hakone, Japan!
Here's day 1.
It's really like being transported into a Studio Ghibli movie.

Forgot to tell the story of how we transported it. The thing weighs a ton (well I’m exaggerating), but we shoved it into my partner’s Jeep with the seats all down. The back hatch was slightly open too. I had to hold onto it for dear life for a 10-minute drive back to the house. Every time we went over a bump, my life flashed before my eyes 😂

We got this free claw machine from a salon when I was unemployed. We just stuff it with excess stuffies from my kids. 😂

Also I’m super thankful that my kids are both readers and enjoy books as much as I do.

Perusing the bookstore yesterday with my kids and found some interesting ones written by Asian authors. Many are Japanese, but I see a growing number of Korean authors! I’m proud of myself for only buying one book for my tsundoku pile.

These were used all over the Apple campuses in Cupertino, btw. Not just Apple Park.

For the first time ever at this WWDC.. Apple casually flexed one of its weirdest innovation.. the patented Apple Pizza Box 🍕
Once upon a time.. Apple decided the ordinary soggy pizza box wasn’t upto its standards
So Apple literally invented its own pizza box.. used exclusively at the Apple Park
Unibody design, eco friendly, perfectly stackable and custom vanted so employees can carry the pizza back to their pods without a soggy crust
…meanwhile Dominos is still using the same square box design from 1940s 😭
Only Apple can overengineer a pizza box this hard

Yes, life is too short, but so many people do not even interact with others while traveling. In my old age, I just don’t give a shit anymore and will strike up a conversation with anyone and everyone now. I find it fun getting to know people and just chit chatting about nonsense.

I was staying at a hotel in Shinagawa and the sole reason why I would stay there again at club lounge level is to visit the staff at the lounge. They made my mornings so pleasant and inviting. I always chatted with them and before I left I gave them several snacks from the U.S. and gave them a handwritten note in Japanese. Ironically half of them were foreigners like myself.
I think peak life is long-term human connection and I’d be wary of people who don’t have that.
The same small circle of friends for years. You always make time for them no matter the circumstances.
The same trusted household staff who work for you, who you take care of and overpay into oblivion (my cleaning lady charges 250, I pay her 400-500 every time).
The same restaurants and resorts where they know your name, know your siblings, and ask about your mother’s health. Same thing, you overpay into oblivion but it’s not the idiotic American tipping culture, no. You take care of your people.
Loyalty, taking care of your kith and kin and the people who work for you is aristocratic behaviour.

Started building another iOS app as soon as I got back from Japan on Friday, June 5th.
A travel story feed where each entry is a "day log"... not just a check-in, not just a photo dump, but a structured journal post tied to real places. Think Substack × Google Maps × Instagram, but for travelers.
Going a different monetization route with this.
Premium writing tools: offline drafts, trip export as PDF/ebook, custom themes.
Affiliate links on place cards (booking.com, Hotels.com)
Creator subscriptions: follow your favorite travel writers.
B2B: tourism boards pay to be featured in journal discovery.

Snacks from Japan! We’ve tried the Ramune mochi so far and it’s delicious. 😂

There's two types of builders:
- The influencers: They build apps or provide services for other builders and make money from them
- Others: They build for non-builders
My tip: Don't confuse the two. Too many people believe that building a business is the first one.
