Nippon TV: Zoom in Saturday

A couple of weeks back I made a brief appearance on Nippon TV’s ‘Zoom in Saturday’. The interview, which went on for about 15~20 minutes, was a lot of fun – here’s the 90 seconds that made it out of the editing suite! This section of the program focuses on what foreigners think of Japan, […]

Twitter warps my world

Photo: Roppongi Art Night Howdy hoolie. Quick catch-up time. Before I start, I’d just like to explain to any new readers that unlike many blogs, The Daily Mumble doesn’t tend to deal with anything other than ME! This is intentional. It’s not an ego thing. It’s more that there’s thousands of people who are far […]
