UK-based travel blog from a thirty-something balancing eternal wanderlust with a full time job. And the necessity of eating #glutenfree whilst on the road.
However, it’s the only other dedicated gluten free restaurant I found in Tokyo. If you’re going gluten free in Tokyo, it’s almost a given you’ll be eating Western food. – I didn’t go there myself, so I can’t vouch for certain that it’s safe, but I’ve been to the same chain in Paris (please follow this link, if only to lol at how different I look in the pictures 😮 ) which I and other gluten free travellers rave about. It is so worth it, and with some preparation, dedication and good coeliac travel luck I do think it’s possible to find a reasonable amount of gluten free food in Tokyo!
I’m going back for my granny’s funeral which means things are a little short notice, and I’m scrambling to get everything done and packed to leave on time. I’m giddy; I’m 17, I’m 27, I’m proud of how far I’ve come, I feel loss, London is swathed in sunshine and it’s glorious, like I’m seeing it with new eyes. I’m about to start a(nother) whole new phase of life with my scary new job, and closing the door on the old one feels like another connection back to my life in the UK gently falls away.
It’s been an average of 43 degrees while I’ve been here, every day. It’s pretty quiet at the moment It’s all such a nice experience you can quite easily forget you’re right in the middle of a barren desert- until you look up and see the rocky, rugged mountains hovering over whatever giant car park you’re currently trying to locate your car in. It’s just noticeable coming from a country with absolutely zero commercial Christian radio.
The kitchen is great, the bathroom is so nice and shiny, there’s heaps of storage, and it’s lovely and quiet. We seem to be in some sort of black hole/faraday cage, so nothing has any signal and the internet can be excruciatingly slow (it also took 3 months to get connected but let’s not dwell on that fiasco), we haven’t nailed climate control yet, and the public transport situation is patchy at best – but overall, it’s still a winner. It’s the first year I’ve been to my own church at Christmas since before I was married (! ) and it was honestly so refreshing to feel at home on Christmas. was supposed to have 3 weeks enforced leave over Christmas which I did not want (would have left me with 2 weeks annual leave for the rest of the year, plus it’s expensive to travel at Christmas, and busy) but was told was set in stone.
