I recently had three days off and half-deliberately ended up having a bahn mi for lunch on each of the days. The winner by far was from Viet Kite in the Fremantle Market. The perfect mix of crispy skin without being too fatty. Went again today and if anything it was better than the first one. Hoping I can find something that good a little closer to home.
Talking to my daughter about the upcoming appointment of Thatcher-ish Sanae Takaichi as Japan’s first woman prime minister. Putting her political positions aside, this is a welcome development, but I’m reminded that Australia has had just one woman PM and WA just one woman Premier. It’s ridiculous, really.
Despite telling myself that I had much more important things to do than play Ghost of Yotei, the sequel to Ghost of Tsushima, I have dipped my toe back in the blood-drenched waters of feudal Japan once more. From a few hours play I feel like this is a very very solid follow up. Keeps a lot of what was great about the first one and adds some new tricks. Doing a lot more organic exploring this time — following golden birds and foxes as I come across them and visiting the shrines and hot springs and all the little non-battle bits along the way. With Ghost of Tsushima I played to finish the story first and my experience suffered for it. I really need to get better at parrying.
