About Me
If you found me searching for the lyrics to the children's song, you can find them here.

I went to Harajuku today. It is mad busy. When I got to the station, trains were pulling in and disgorging people onto the platform faster than they could get out the exit. It took me 10 mins to get … Continue reading

This is why I find humanity frustrating beyond belief (some of the time):
I just watched this TED talk: Why aren’t countries queuing up to listen to this guy and act on his advice? Why isn’t the whole of Europe already connected in one big grid? We should forget about America for now: … Continue reading
