Basically, my blog is a window into the life of my husband (Ryosuke) and my entertaining and wonderful life in Tokyo. I post five times a week, switching between blog posts, comics, and videos. Hopefully you find something you like and stick around.
I like to call myself a “word artist” because I like to “paint” pictures with words. And sometimes I get lazy and actually use pictures. Though I’ve always had this inexplicable impulse to write about things, this is the first time I’m actually doing something about it—finally.
My name is Carlo Teope and I started this blog in July 2016. I was born and raised in the Philippines so whilst I know the struggles of having a third world passport, I also have the perspective. A perspective that honed me to be resilient and make it through my losses, to find happiness in simple things, to see the world like I’ve seen colors for the first time, and see beauty even in the most mundane.
Accessible Japan is a source of information on accessibility in Japan, including general tips and a database of hotels with accessible rooms. It is run by Josh Grisdale, who has cerebral palsy and has been living in Tokyo for nearly a decade.
I’m an English educator and part-time writer who has spent half his life in Japan. My passions include rugby, cricket, windsurfing and snowboarding—and of course my Japanese wife who teaches me on a daily basis the quintessence of being Japanese, something I admire but can’t quite grasp... yet.
