Finishing work very soon, practice some of my Karate grading material and then play my PS5

Here's a recent pic of me. Did my double grading in Karate and passed. So happy

37 and turning 38 in November, I'm so not looking forward to it

Chilling out after work but also celebrating because I secured a PS5

Work! And then wait for the weekend to get here.

I am saving as of now, and the surge in covid bothers me, hopefully, will save enough to travel by mid-2022.

Same here but apparently the vaccine rollout has now started in Japan, so here's hoping I'll be fine to go in March, as we've already booked the trip.

Content I would say. Things are starting to look good for me. Had my first COVID jab, I'm now back in Karate training and I've booked my trip to Okinawa Japan for next year with my cousin, I'll start exchanging my money to Yen very soon too so I'm also excited for that

I've been preparing and going over my grading material, got my grading in a few weeks for hachi kyū in Karate so I've been practicing at home as well as in the dojo.

Japan is awesome, and I'm hoping to go back as well. Make sure to get all the good food you can. Yakisoba is a must, it's so good :) Please update in the thread while you're there! I will do. I want to try the onigiri spam sandwich for definite. So many places to visit too, hopefully I'll get to se...

Really can't wait. I'll be visiting jump station and the Pokemon store with my cousin. I think he wants to buy some Japanese Yugi-Oh cards too

So I've finally booked my trip to Okinawa for next year. I'm absolutely stoked and can't wait to see all the historical sites not to mention all the great food I get to eat

Well unfortunately I'm in self isolation after my mum tested positive for COVID19, so I'm just practising my Kata as per, for when the dojo reopens in 2 weeks

Never got the whole tentacle thing tbh, very weird indeed. Unrelated but sort of related (to Japanese culture not tentacle porn haha), was debating on getting the J-League 2 team, FC Ryukyu football shirt, but the price of £170 really put me off, so I might purchase Japans national football team shi...

I also find the language fascinating too. My friend Yuko said to me in the past that when I say Japanese phrases I don't sound foreign, I sound like a native speaker, now I don't know if this is due to my second language being Italian, but that was an awesome compliment to receive from a Japanese pe...
