Wow, it’s been a few months since I last posted anything here. Continuing with the belated diary entries from 1969 I see that this day in 1969 was also a Thursday!

Christmas Day 1996: took Kansui Maru passenger ferry on a “visa run” from japan to South Korea. This was to get/pickup a work visa so I could teach English for T.E.C. (Tokyo English Centre). I have heard that, before my time,Yoko Ono taught there.

Haven’t posted from 1969 diary lately. “Mikado” was a “coffee salon” near Seibu-Shinjuku Station . Tokyo Photo College is now Tokyo Polytechnic. “TEC” was Tokyo English Center. Albert Stamp was a manager there. “Dai Ichi” was the Dai Ichi Sagamiya rooming house in Shinjuku. Not enough room here …

Another same day in 1969 Tokyo. I had forgotten about the infrared Ektachrome.

Another same-day-in-1969 diary post. I wonder how “bad” that Shimbashi Chinese restaurant was?! In those days the Nikon Salon (ニコンサロン, “Nikon saron”)… all the camera manufacturers had salon/galleries… was above Matsuya Camera in Ginza. I think the US Forces USO was in the same building.

Another diary entry from this day in 1969. I really wish i was documenting a bit more (some?) of my inner thought processes !!

Another 1969 diary snapshot post. Was chumming around with Murray Sayle, the (late) London Sunday Times feature correspondent. Near the end of this diary entry I joined him at the FCCJ (Foreign Correspondent’s Club of Japan) for a bowl of their “1/2 cream oyster stee”… good stuff!!

I’m posting another phone-camera snapshot of my 1969 diary in Japan for this day (Nov 2). I started smoking cigarettes in Japan and note that it says “(5 cigs)” at the top. That would have been my consumption for that day. I think my brand was perhaps “Hope”…

My diary entry for November 30, 1969. I flew to Japan on February 10th of that year. This is my first post on Bluesky… so I thought i would post this day’s entry from way back then. I was 22 y.o.
