Only in Japan: Dotonbori Jazz Boat Moment #Dotonbori #Jazz #TravelJapan #authorlife

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.
