Since I just did a recent post on Sushi Zanmai, which is sushi for a reasonable price, I thought I would do one on Kyubey today. Kyubey is significantly higher quality sushi than Sushi Zanmai, although it comes at a significantly higher price. If you can go for lunch, it is the same quality fish…
I used to be a huge pencil/pen fanatic in middle school, and I was constantly searching for the best. Every time that I went to Tokyo, I would check out all of the new options, as Japan tends to have the cheapest and highest quality mechanical pencils. While I have somewhat stopped, I still have…
In a previous post, I wrote about the Three Body Problem by Liu Cixin. The Dark Forest is the second book in the series, and I thought it was an incredible read. While I had mixed feelings about the first one (it was good, but also kind of confusing and difficult to understand), I had…

Slippers may seem like an odd thing to recommend, but they are essential in Hawaii. These are my favorite pair of slippers, and they are definitely the most comfortable pair I own. Sanuk slippers are made out of yoga mats, so they are both comfortable and give you support. Unlike cheaper pairs of slippers, Sanuk’s…
I have been reading a lot more during my time at home recently, and I have been using my Amazon Kindle Paperwhite to read them. I have used both the Paperwhite as well as the traditional Kindle, and both are really good options. In case you are wondering, the Paperwhite is normally $129, and the…
