The Life and Times of Rob Milchling
Sorry for being late on this one. I had a bit of a long weekend. Today (Wednesday) is the equivalent to Independence Day in Japan. This is only the second holiday which has not fallen on a Sunday or a Monday so I got an extra day off for the… Read more“Party weekends = no good stories”
This was the first Super Bowl I have ever watched outside of the US. It was really cool starting the day by celebrating the big game. And although I don’t like the Patriots, the day was made even better because they won. I was with my buddy Greg, who is… Read more“Super Bowl in Japan…… at 830am”
I went to the Osaka Aquarium this weekend. They have a whale shark. It was not as big as I had imagined a whale shark would be. I think it was a baby, but still it was by far the biggest animal in the aquarium. The Osaka aquarium is rated… Read more“Whale sharks. Fireworks. Make your own sushi. Fire on the mountain.”
I promise this one wont be as boring as last week. It might be close, but I actually left my apartment for more than 2 hours this weekend and I have pictures to prove it. I did spend a considerable amount of time in my room though. More than I… Read more“Walks around my neighborhood”

Presently, I am sitting in an airport lounge room (like a rental living room) in Osaka having a rest before catching a flight to Sapporo, Hokkaido, the most northern part of Japan. Our flight is at 630am and the train schedule forced us to come here and stay the night…. Read more“Christmas in Japan”
I made it to Seoul very healthy and happy Sunday morning ready to gorge myself on Korean food. I left Tuesday morning completely drained of all energy and on a completely empty stomach. Overall I really enjoyed my trip to Korea, but the last day was possibly the worst… Read more“Korea”
The question I am most frequently asked by people about my life in Japan is “What do you miss the most about home?” My answer is almost always the same. Football games, hunting, Thanksgiving, and my friends. Although I have not been hunting at all in Japan, I have made… Read more“Foozeball games and more parties… Assimilation…?”
I fully expected December to be an awesome month, but this month has been a blast so far. This week at work was the same as it has been. Tuesdays are my chill day, where I plan, and readjust to life after the weekend. Then the rest of the week… Read more“Debauchery”
