Today, I met a retired man selling coffee from his homemade coffee vending mini truck on a street in Tokyo. He shared that after retiring, he found himself with nothing to do, so he decided to follow his passion for coffee by serving one cup at a time. He even told me about traveling around Japan in his mini truck. What a unique way to spend retired life. I’m glad he found something he truly enjoys. I wish him the best of luck.
 
 

 

 

 

It is a beautiful Saturday morning in Tokyo. I woke up around 6 o'clock, had a cup of coffee at the hotel, and went out for a walk. The hotel I’m staying at is only about 10 minutes from Tokyo Station. I walked to Tokyo Station, explored the area on the other side, and then headed to the south side to cross the railway. The entire walk was about 1.9 miles, or approximately 4,500 steps—more than double what I usually walk when I’m in Seattle. I have one meeting today before traveling to Kansai via Shinkansen. I also have a meeting in Nagoya tomorrow before reaching my final destination in Ashiya.
