random photos i've collected from visiting so often. my sisters, maternal family, and now my parents (temporarily) are living here so i visit a few times a year. just thought you might like to see what my life here is like!

Uramura Inlet in Toba city, Mie-ken is famous as an oyster-farming distinct in Japan. My husband and I went and ate raw oysters. I like to eat them, but my husband doesn't like them so much. Though Uramura town was very quiet, lots of people from distant plac…

Tokyo is the international hub of Japan, so it's not surprising that the city has every kind of international cuisine available.  In fact, it seems that there are more Western and international eateries than Japanese nowadays.  I think Japan is hard to beat in terms of food.  You can…

4th times visiting Japan.. Got so relaxing and culture experience this time.. I was almost dying with extremely busy work by holding a festival. Fortunately, I did feel refresh and get better after staying Japan for 2 week, doing nothing, eating assorted tasteful food and traveling most of facinating cities not only in Kansi area, namely, Osaka, Nara, Wakayama, Kyoto, Kobe and Hemiji, but also Mie, Toba and Ise.. Koyashan is no doubt still my favourit!!

The mood of yesterday continued this morning. First stop today was Asakusa and a shrine called Senso-Ji. As soon as we emerged from the underground station we were charmed by the place. There was an arcade leading up to the shrine which was filled by stalls selling trinkets and souvenirs and w…

I know this blog is not at all travel related but seeing as my son is often featured in my blogs I thought I would write about his graduation from his day care center. My son has been going here since his days of crawling, wearing a diaper and drinking fertilized milk, for five years of his life f…

Random Observation/Comment #105: I’ve been keeping myself busy since I’ve been back from Japan. This semester really passed by in a blink of an eye. It feels like it was just yesterday that I first set foot on Japanese soil and heard that relaxing, yet annoying, cicada siren. The taste of go…

Just spent the best 12 hours of our lives on a plane ever!!!!  We love Japan just from how awesome the flight attendants and the airplane food was!!!!  The second we entered the first class lounge (player style!!!) Jeff regained his enthusiasm for Japanese and we haven't looked bac…

Since I got there so late, I missed the Hanami meet, and everyone in Osaka. Straight off the plane I couldn't find my baggage tags! Why were they buried? Because I almost missed the Tokyo to Osaka flight when security was worried that my deoderant might be flammable, and me being myself, crammed a …

This is me cheating. Go to entry 1 for the real story or read on if you want to know why.Since this is a new blog, I want people to read it when they come to my page. Makes sense right? However, this website only displays three blogs on my front page - not in the order that you post them, but in ch…

Soba is a typical kind of Japanese noodles. My friend from Azumino recommended a soba shop to us in her hometown. We serched for the shop at the foot of a mountain. It was a really good soba! I could see the Japan Alps from Chihiro Art Museum Azumino. Chihiro Iwasaki was a famous picture-book writ…

Good news everybody... Joe is among the living again! After eating tons of extra-strength remedies he is fit enough to get up and leave the hotel.After all, today we are going back to Hong Kong... non-refundable and non-rebookable flight tickets, that goes without saying.To be honest, I wouldn't mi…

As the semester quickly came to a close toward the end of January, things became kind of hectic. Sayonara-parties, farewell-parties, and just plain partying-for-the-last-time-together-parties were in full force. Of course, this was all around our school schedule as well, what with studying, papers,…

  Tokyo is one of the 47 prefectures of Japan, and among the prefectures it is unique in providing certain municipal services characteristic of city. The seat of the Japanese government and the Imperial Palace, and the home of the Japanese Imperial Family, Tokyo is the de facto capital of Jap…
