All roads lead to Berlin. 

My second favourite city behind Melbourne.

Have you been to the Ramones Cafe/Museum? If not, go!! It’s a great way to while away a couple of hours.  I loved Berlin and love Melbourne, but my favourite city is Tokyo… it has everything and more.

    I’d suggest people use a VPN like ExpressVPN which is expensive but does seem to work - my friend in Bali uses it (and the people at ExpressVPN are very helpful if you have problems). There are a couple of others which I believe will also work: Surfshark and Nord but I’ve not used them.

    Clearly a man of discerning taste you are.

    However, the next question would be: which area in Tokyo do you like the most? That will definitely say a lot about you!

    Where do I start? I love the Kabuki-Cho area of Shinjuku, particularly the narrow bar lined lanes toward Hanazono Shrine, parts of Tawaramachi near Asakusa where there are streets full of shops selling display ‘food’. Parts of Asakusa I like, and a great memory was going to one of the oldest restaurants in Tokyo, the Sometarō okonomiyaki restaurant.

    When I first stayed in Tokyo, Yoyogi Park near Harajuku used to have the street running through it, lined with bands and rockabilly dancers, all performing at the same time. The problem is that the noise police moved in and now only the rockabilly dancers are still there.

    Places I avoid are Roppongi and, to an extent, Ginza. But Akihabara (the electronics district) is enjoyable if done in moderation; best time being on the weekends they close off the street and you’ll see a lot of cosplay action going on, and the Meido (Maid) Cafes are definitely pretty out there.

    Just an unusual aside:

    As I mentioned earlier, I’ll be in Bali until the morning AFTER our first final🙄. and I was relieved that the ABC has a coverage here on the hotel room tv ,however I was amazed to discover the Storm game televised live last night without ANY commentary.. the only audible sounds were from the referees and a few errant swear words from players.

    I’m not sure whether this would be preferable to hearing BT’s ramblings and histrionics… oh wait.

    Am in Helsinki for 1st Final, fast streaming net and mad sports friends, Sudan for the Grand Final sadly, will use a diplomat mates house for the fast net there.

    Watch AFL is ok, sometime the sound doesn’t run the same as the picture which can be frustrating.

    As in Helsinki Sweden?

    The Swedes are the Nordic surrender monkeys who gave up Finland to the Russians in 1809, Helsinki, Finland since 1917 Hyva Suomi. Spent the summer (now) teaching the Finns to kick a Sherrin

    I am in India, in Chennai to be exact. Don't know anyone else  here and so it's just me watching on WatchAFL. Would love to have some company. Drinks on me if a Dees fan in Chennai can hit me up

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
