“Interesting crowd here. I didn’t really know cheese appealed to the Gen Z.” 🧀🍷

Only in Sydney would you pay $40 to attend a CHEESE festival, and then spend more money to buy the cheese you’ve just tasted. 😂 On the upside, having it be ticketed meant there weren’t ridiculous queues for everything. We tasted many different cheeses along with butter, olives, pates, salamis, a couple different wines, whiskeys, a “whey liqueur” 😵‍💫, and gelato. And yeah, a bunch of it came home with us.

Yesterday was the 5-year anniversary of when I started at AWS, so today I picked up my Orange badge. I never really expected to hit this milestone, so thank you to all the colleagues, mentors, and friends who’ve helped me along the way. ❤️

We’re home! Fairly empty flight from Tokyo today. Back to winter… 🥶

Updated to add: I’m very happy to report that I had no difficulty getting back into Australia with my recovered passport! 😅

A short but memorable day in Kyoto, the cultural capital of Japan! We visited the Fushimi Inari Taisha shrine and walked through some of the hundreds of beautiful gates. Then we headed to the Imperial Palace to see where the emperor used to live. Lastly we trekked out to the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, where we hiked through a forest of towering bamboo to a river gorge overlook. Beautiful way to end this trip. Time to go home! ⛩️🦊🎋

BULLET TRAIN! Mr. Snook finally gets to ride the Shinkansen as we head off on a long day trip to Kyoto. We picked seats with a view of Mt. Fuji, but unfortunately it’s a bit too hazy. I’m taking advantage of the time to work on my sweater some more… 🚅🗻🧶

ASIAN FIIIIIIIIIIT! 😎 My amazing husband tracked down replacement sunnies for me in Tokyo today, and they were actually cheaper than my original pair that was stolen, and he even got me a new Moomin case to put them in. ❤️

How odd. I appear to be the only person in the #AWSDevDay speaker prep room who is knitting while they review their slides. 🤔🧶
