Global Flavors: Spontaneous Groceries | Weekly Video Announcement

My wife and I enjoy finding good value while shopping, rather than just going for the cheapest option. Last Saturday, I filmed our grocery trip to Gyomu Super, our favorite store for international foods and beverages. Keep an eye out for an unscripted video with spontaneous commentary as we wander the aisles without a shopping list.

This weekly video aims to provide a relaxed and lighthearted glimpse into our daily life in Japan.

Interestingly, we used to shop at Amazing Oriental for our Asian groceries in the Netherlands. Now in Japan, we’re exploring stores with European and non-Japanese foods and beverages.

Stay tuned and wishing you a fantastic start to the week!

This blog is for thoughtful adults who are starting again — in learning, creativity, or life — and want to grow steadily without noise or pressure.

Here you’ll find daily reflections and practical guides shaped by lived experience. The focus is on learning through doing: building consistency, adapting to change, and finding clarity in everyday practice.

The stories and guides here come from real processes — creative experiments, hands-on projects, life in rural Japan, working with nature, and learning new skills step by step. Nothing is rushed. Nothing is polished for performance. The aim is steady progress, honest reflection, and practical insight you can actually use.

If you’re curious about life in Japan, learning new skills at your own pace, or finding a calmer, more intentional way forward, you’re in the right place.
