Here are the chronicles of my adventures in Japan.  Living in western Tokyo, I've had the opportunity to visit all the major tourist hotspots, and some places off the beaten track.  The latter category is normally saved for a person's second or third trip to Japan, but if you want to spice your first trip up a bit, you can try one of these.

Follow the travels and travails of the wanderers as they travel here and there, and check out new and interesting sights and restaurants.

Interesting news items from around the world, and some of my views about the world we live in, culture, society, life, or frankly anything that will stimulate discussion.

This set of lessons describes our trips to Europe in the spring of 2023 and the spring of 2024. They were very different trips, though some of the same countries were visited - just different parts. The first trip encompassed Vienna, Rome, and Florence. The second trip - with me driving - included Zurich, Lucerne, Como, Milan, Bolzano, Innsbruck, and separately, Prague. I wonder if we will return to Europe again for a third trip...

This curriculum includes lessons, vocabulary and quizzes that focus on the lives of John and Marie, a typical couple navigating life together. We begin the story before John and Marie met, going back in time to the 1990's. From there we will follow their journey through their early working years, how they met, their relationship, and well, we shall see where the story leads!

There will be many idioms included in the lessons that are used very commonly by native English speakers. Knowledge of idioms should be a priority for advanced English learners.

Traveling has become a major focus in my retirement years.  

This curriculum provides a high level review of the hardware, software, and network components of a personal computer.

This curriculum is intended to focus on anything that is technical, past and future. Originally I was thinking of just having a Virtual Reality curriculum, but decided to broaden it because of all that is going on in AI and robotics.  Let's see where this takes us!

This curriculum of lessons will focus on healthcare in many different facets.  Follow Dr. Tanaka as he works his wonders, providing the best care for his patients.
