I’ve spent the last two days tucked into Osaka, racing to finish the 4th draft of my new book — and somehow, miraculously, I wrapped it early ahead of a November 15th deadline. To celebrate, I wandered to a quiet corner of Dotonbori and found an outdoor café by the canal. As I settled in, a boat drifted past… carrying a live jazz band. New Orleans, floating through Japan. Completely unexpected. Completely perfect. After weeks of travel, interviews, and late-night writing, this moment felt like Osaka’s way of saying, “Good job. Take a breath.” Life is strange and beautiful. Especially in Japan. #Osaka #Japan #Dotonbori #Jazz #TravelJapan #AuthorLife #WritingJourney #BookInProgress #NeverTooLate #SlowTravel #Serendipity #CanalLife #UnexpectedJapan
