    Picking Up From Where We Left Off

    As sticklers will point out, 2020 doesn’t really count as the start of the Twenty-Twenties, but Kangaeroo reckons it does, so that’s how we’ll view it on the site. And the ’20s got off in pretty much the same way that 2019 left off–on the saddle, pushing the pedals. Once again, the pace was about 100 km/day. Visited sites included a loop of the Yamanote Line circling central Tokyo, the Tama River (again!), Takahata Fudosan temple and plenty of views of Mount Fuji.

    Happy New Year!

    Welcome to 2020, the Year of the Rat, according to the Chinese zodiac. A rat is as close as you’ll get to a kangaroo in the Far East, so Kangaeroo is looking forward to this year. And if that’s not good enough, Kangaeroo’s track record suggests a rat is not too far away. Either way, we hope that all and sundry have a wonderful year, whatever happens.

    A Second Bite of Biwaichi

    Fatigue, muscle soreness and endurance were going to be the order of the day on the Kangaeroo crew’s second leg of Biwaichi, the circumnavigation of Biwa, Japan’s largest lake. Mrs. Kangaeroo had completed the 70-plus kilometer first leg with barely a hint of trouble, but not being used to cycling, it was going to be the second day that presented a big test as it would display her recuperative powers. Typically, she was magnificent! She woke with a huge smile and full of beans, getting into her Kangaeroo.com jersey and racing down to the hotel restaurant for the fancy buffet breakfast.…

    RIP to a Ripper Bloke, Bob Hawke

    Australia’s last man of the people to become prime minister is no longer. Robert James Lee “Bob” Hawke died earlier this week, just two days before his beloved Australian Labor Party is expected to re-take office in the May 18 federal election following six years of misrule by an incompetent Liberal–National Party coalition government. Hawke was 89. He was a popular prime minister whose time in office went from 1983 to 1991. He remains the longest-serving Labor prime minister in Australian history. Hawkey didn’t really have much to do with Japan during his time in office. Perhaps the closest project…

    Kangaroos Played a Part in Germans Being Big in South America BEFORE World War II

    Postwar South America became somewhat notorious as a haven for Germans fleeing the defeat of the Third Reich in World War II, but some Teutonic types had already made it big in Argentina before the Nazis…and kangaroos had something to do with it, albeit an extremely minor role. Kangaroos served as an advertising figure for Sarrasani, a world-famous German circus between the wars. Sarrasani was formed in the German city of Dresden in 1901 by Hans Stosch, a clown with the stage name Giovanni Sarrasani. The circus was best-known for its elephants, but also employed lots of “exotic” peoples such…

    Kangaroo Boxing Club KO’d (…A Few Years Ago Now, But…)

    Kangaroo Boxing Club was a pub in the Columbia Heights district of Washington D.C. Apparently, it specialized in showing gridiron games and barbecues. The pub shut its doors several years ago, and is now an upmarket bistro. The pub operated from 2012-2016. Related posts: Dictionaries and Search Engines/辞書及び検索サイト Boxing Dayって殴りあうカンガルーと関係ないの?

    Don’t Buy GoPro

    Kangaeroo.com made the silly mistake of buying a GoPro camera. The camera itself worked initially, but it had a smart remote, which was embedded in a selfie stick. The smart remote didn’t work from the outset. Kangaeroo.com contacted the company’s Japanese support page, selecting the English option for support. This was in May 2018 and it started a yearlong nightmare. Following GoPro’s instructions, the remote and selfie stick were sent for repairs. Only the remote was sent back. This one didn’t work, either. GoPro, meanwhile, could not be contacted. Kangaeroo.com sent the useless camera and parts to the Japanese agent,…

    …ah, so* have a Winfield: The Tiny Tale of Aussie Durries in Japan

    A long, long time ago, in a Straya far, far away, Australia briefly exported cigarettes to Japan. It wasn’t that long ago, actually. But for several months in 1994, Paul Hogan, a sometime comedian better-known to international audiences as the star of the deeply regretted the commercials for having inspired so many people to pick up a
