🚄 Sushi Train Adventure: The 120-Yen Sushi Spot You Can't Miss! 🍣🐟

 

So, our usual sushi adventure starts by hopping on the train to Yokohama. From there, we change onto the Blue Line of the Yokohama subway and get off at Kita-Shin Yokohama station. Now, here’s where the magic happens — just a short walk from the station is this sushi spot that’s basically a sushi jackpot: every single plate costs just 120 yen! Yep, you heard me right. That’s cheaper than your average convenience store snack, but way better for your taste buds.

The best part? Watching Ken and my sister tackle the sushi is like watching a comedy show. Ken is one of those guys who won’t touch fish unless it’s been beaten to death, deep-fried, and covered in a mountain of breadcrumbs — basically, he lives for the fish equivalent of Captain Birdseye frozen meals. If it’s fresh, raw, or has even the slightest hint of ocean, Ken’s out. He’d probably run screaming if a sushi chef tried to serve him a piece of salmon nigiri. Meanwhile, my sister and I are like sushi pros, happily devouring everything from fatty tuna to delicate sea urchin (well, I try to convince her to try the more adventurous stuff, but she’s pretty much on Ken’s level when it comes to raw fish bravery).

For me, sushi here is more than just food — it’s a love affair. I’m convinced if I ever leave Japan, I’ll spend my days wandering the streets like a lost soul, forever dreaming of that perfect slice of fresh fish on a pillow of vinegared rice. The quality here blows most places away, and honestly, it’s a massive part of what makes life in Japan so awesome.

But wait, it gets better. This place has one of those fancy order systems where you pick your sushi from a touchscreen menu. And then, just when you’re starting to think, “Okay, maybe this is too good to be true,” a miniature shinkansen — yep, a bullet train! — comes speeding down the conveyor belt to deliver your sushi directly to your table. It’s like a tiny sushi delivery rocket zooming through the restaurant, and watching it arrive never gets old. Honestly, it feels like I’m dining in the future, but with sushi instead of robots.

We sat there for ages, sipping on green tea, watching the sushi trains go by, laughing at Ken trying to figure out how to order something that doesn’t involve breadcrumbs, and just soaking in the simple joy of it all. Plus, the sushi is so good, and the price is so cheap, it’s basically the perfect combo of tasty and wallet-friendly.

If you’re ever in Tokyo or Yokohama, do yourself a favor and check out one of these 100-yen sushi spots. Trust me, just because it’s cheap doesn’t mean it’s any less delicious — Japan really has this down to an art form. And if you’re lucky, you’ll get to watch your sushi delivered by the speedy sushi bullet train. How cool is that?

👨‍💻 Helping Kai Build His First Front-End App It’s been a few weeks since my last post with Kai. We’ve been heads-down coding together, and instead of just talking about database security, we started building a working front end for his application. This has been a big step for Kai — going from SQL tables and stored procedures to actually seeing his app come alive in the browser. We used C# with ASP.NET Web Forms (ASPX) to create login and home pages, and then expanded into pages for courses, students, lectures, grades, and even a small library system.     🔑 Step 1: Building the Login Page Before you can get into the app, you need a secure login. We reused our earlier hashed + salted password system but wrapped it with an ASPX login form. <asp:TextBox ID="txtUsername" runat="server" Placeholder="Username"></asp:TextBox> <asp:TextBox ID="txtPassword" runat="server" TextMode="Password" Placeholder=...

Financial Literacy and ADHD – Money, Mistakes, and Learning the Hard Way

Let’s talk money. Not the flashy kind with yachts and investment portfolios. I mean the real stuff—bills, debt, impulse buys, budgeting apps, and that sinking feeling when your card gets declined at Tesco. I grew up without much. Council estate life doesn’t come with lessons in financial planning. You learn fast—or you don’t eat. But ADHD made learning about money even harder. It’s not just about being “bad with money.” ADHD affects how we make decisions, process consequences, and handle stress. Here’s what ADHD and money looks like for me: I once gave away my phone to someone who needed it… and forgot to cancel the bill. It cost me thousands . I’ve bought gadgets on a whim, convinced they’d change my life, only for them to gather dust. I’ve missed payments, not because I didn’t have the money—but because I forgot the due date. I’ve signed up to trials and subscriptions I forgot to cancel. I’ve had months where I lived like a millionaire, followed by months where I ...
