    Next time you want a raw fish fix, I'd either try Ebisu, which is more conventional Japanese fusion food, or Azabu which is a Japanese Peruvian fusion restaurant. Azabu is one of my favourites. The cooked stuff is okay too... 😉

    I just checked out their menu, I don't think my brain is ready to pay those kind of prices for Viet food yet.

    And NZ is motorcycle paradise. I didn't appreciate how good it is until I left.

    It is SO fucking good.
    I reckon I've now ridden in over a couple dozen countries... 8/10 of my favourite roads are in NZ.

    the other 2 are?

    It's OK. But I prefer my vietnamese food in dingy spots like this

    Beef pho is one of my top meals

    Yeah, that's the fancy one in Ginza where they jack the price up by ¥30, the fluffybunnies 🙂

    It's my son's favourite thing to eat and actually does deserve a place in this thread - he's a fucking kid and doesn't like veges etc, but he's become a hound for kaiten sushi. He gets in there and uses the touch pad like a pro, ordering his Maguro (tuna) and Ikura (fish eggs) and hammering them home.

    Hints and tips, that flagship store is worth a visit, but book ahead. We went a week or so ago (booked it two days ahead) and walked in at 7pm and basically got the next available table. People who were there (almost 100% tourists) were signing up to eat and the wait time was 120 minutes.....

    8/10 was more of a "vibe thing".
    But Mount Everest would be top-10. And perhaps the “Zig-Zag Mountain Road with 72 Turns” also in Tibet.
    I vaguely recall a road in Morocco which would maybe be #11. Brecon Beacons up there too.
    I really need to get to Stelvio Pass one day.

    Great day today. Took my Dad as a belated Father’s Day present to listen to a couple of goats. 🐐 Had a great discussion with Carter and McCaw here in Sydney. My dad even won a signed jersey which some rich punter paid $7500 for lol.

    Having this moment with my aging Dad priceless, winning a signed jersey and talking about our own family all black history with two goats just sublime.

    Had a lot of down days recently but this was absolutely memorable

    Interesting thoughts on NZ rugby from both which will happily discuss in a rugby thread if anyone wants to hear as you can imagine both playing a largely flat bat to most subjects.

    Also this is just my own opinion and not fact but would not be surprised if Ritchie ends up with CTE later in life, he has always been largely an introvert but just some struggles in expressing clearly his opinion worry’s me for one of our greatest. I maybe way off the ball but just a thought I got from watching him and talking to him today. Seriously hope I’m wrong

    I've had some kind of had covidy/fluey thing and far out is hard to think of words when I'm talking at the moment. I have to really focus to get the words out. Such a mental strain. Must be some kind of brain fog.

    Being an introvert doesn't help with being able to express yourself so I can see how that would make it difficult for Richie as he gets older.
