Yesterday, we had a presentation on Memecoins, and as a grand finale, we had to make one ourselves.

The theme was Network School (of course), and let me tell you, creating memes takes a special kind of genius. It’s like an art form, and I’ve just discovered that my work is… well, pretty lame. But hey, here’s my masterpiece—don’t laugh (or do) hehe!

I listened to a show this morning and one of the questions was about the best place to live, or smth along those lines.

As someone who has lived in Albania, Oxford, Boston, Miami, and now Tokyo, I have some thoughts to share. The decision about where to live can either make or break your life.

If you're an ambitious person, you should choose cities that are equally ambitious.

These days, people often move for tax reasons, but when you're young, taxes are the last thing on your mind. You're more focused on chasing a dream or achieving a goal.

Paul Graham’s essay on this topic is definitely worth reading: https://paulgraham.com/cities.html

Next time thinking well before joining a 'companio', ask yourself can you share bread with them?

I come from business family traditions and values, so my roles models always came from small business. The work doesn't feel like work exactly, we yell and love strongly and ofcourse share bread and cheese with my family back in Albania but in Japan sharing onigiri 😁

To anyone who is interested din making Ai movie @yoddha.eth is the guy! Give him a follow.

He is an admit here on /network-states school and teaching us weekly workshop how to use AI.

I just wanted to express my gratitude to everyone who supported to interview the Japanese nurse climber of 14 peaks.

Unfortunately, the crowdfunding campaign didn’t succeed, so please withdraw the funds: https://crowdfi.withfabric.xyz/campaign/support-the-interview-with-the-first-asian-woman-to-summit-14-peaks-4pj1aq7bo2yo

I believe there are a few reasons for this: first, I didn’t promote it consistently enough. Second, the cause didn’t resonate strongly enough with a wider audience.

Nonetheless, I truly appreciate all of your support 💜 🙇‍♀️ !

Next steps : Already contacted Watanabe san and now waiting her reply🤞 .

Wait, whaaattt did I just see here? Is this you @divyav.eth ?

You didn't learn this, you killed it!

I found this again, so I guess I have to recast for the second time 😅 !

Removing "working well under pressure" from my vocab and any future job interviews. It was a lie!

Now this is real pressure 🤯 !

I would really like to try this coffee farm experience in Chiang Mai. @adamhurwitz.eth have you done this or similar?

I’ve listened to the podcast so many times while editing, and it never gets old. Each time I replay it, I discover something new and insightful in what you’ve shared—it’s like uncovering another layer of wisdom with every listen. Thank you very much 🙇‍♀️ !

I did it, Mom and Dad 🥹 !

I’ve always imagined myself working in tv/media, interviewing people, and now it's becoming real. It just took a little courage and a shift in strategy. I’m officially a 100% on-chain creator, and I couldn’t be happier about launching my first podcast! So grateful for the opportunities that /farcaster has brought into my life.

A huge thank you to @casslineth for accepting my invitation and chatting with me—it means the world 💜 💜 💜 .

I know there’s still a lot of room for improvement, but this is just the beginning!

cc: Thank you Pods Team 💚 - @0xl

I just saw this news, a bit sad. Doraemon was one of the first animes that I started to watch when I came in Japan and its voice was so distinguished and cute.

RIP Oyama san.

Onigiri versions in Malaysia, looks pretty good. Got it at Family Mart here.

If you're visiting Okinawa, Japan, don't miss Ogimi Village, famous for its long-living residents. I wrote about what helps them stay healthy and included a great restaurant run by an 80-year-old grandmother.

To everyone who has followed and subscribed to my newsletter, thank you so much! I now have 242 subscribers, and I’m incredibly grateful for your support. I started the newsletter two years ago on Substack but only began posting regularly last year after leaving Kraken.

I've been calling Tokyo home for the past 6-7 years, and I’m excited to share some of my curiosities and experiences with you.

I’m always looking to share more insightful information about Japan. If you have any feedback or comments, I’d love to hear them. What would you like to see more of? Let me know!

To anyone who wants to buy tickets for the Ghibli Museum in Mitaka, there are two ways on helping you secure a ticket:

1. Online via Lawson Ticket Website
>Tickets go on sale on the 10th of each month for the following month.
>Book on the Lawson Ticket website (English version available). Tickets are for specific dates and times, and must be bought in advance.

2. Lawson Convenience Stores (Japan)
>Use the Loppi machine at Lawson stores to buy tickets. The machine is in Japanese, so a translation app can help.

Currently the sales for November are still ongoing, check it out:

You can easily link your X account with Warpcast. Super easy, I just did it now. Also keeps the bio clean without many links.

Can anyone connect me with someone who knows Moxie very well? perhaps the founder too?

I'd love to interview them and share insights with the /network-states school community, especially for those of us (myself included) who are still trying to understand what Moxie is all about and what it does.

Thank you,
Ina

Okay I found this somewhere on internet but is so true 🤣

Network School is going strong, soon hitting the three-week mark! There’s been an amazing mix of people and topics discussed in the community.

The gym and burning sessions are still going strong, and now we’ve got some community-organized activities, like Animal Flow.

I'm giving it a try today for the first time. We’re in good hands—the instructor @lightningl a war veteran and a Level 2 Animal Flow trainer, so we’re learning from the best of the best!

Dogo Onsen Honkan in Matsuyama, a National Treasure and one of Japan's oldest bathhouses, is fully reopened now! ✨

With 3,000 years of history, this iconic spot has welcomed travelers for millennia.

I snapped this photo a few weeks ago at Family Mart—these chips are garlic-flavored! They’re super tasty, but fair warning: if you're in a relationship, make sure your partner enjoys garlic too, haha!

One of the best ramen out there, hands down! The wagyu ramen is incredible—though I always pronounce it with a "v," haha which sounds weird. Super, super good!

Everyone is welcome to join the Japan Channel and share anything related to travel, food, culture, business, politics, and more. If you're a creator and interested in growing the channel together, feel free to share your work here or send me a DM—we can chat and explore opportunities!

I’ve decided to start a podcast called "Bee Curious," just like my newsletter, but with a broader focus on everything —not just Japan. I’m interviewing fascinating people from /network-states School but not only, aiming to introduce unique individuals and concepts I’ve encountered there.

Since I've committed to being an on-chain creator, I’m also exploring the idea of an on-chain podcast, thanks to a suggestion from @christin. Yesterday, I had an onboarding call with Lucas (@0xl) for /pods and I have to say, it was one of the smoothest onboarding experiences I’ve ever had.

I will post on Youtube, Spotify and Pods. Please stay tuned!

P.s thanks everyone who helped me to decide on the name of the podcast too hehe.

Love,
Ina
