I was smiling the whole time while photographing this cake. The sunlight in the background, the cute and colourful bravado behind those words made me happy. And with every happy thought and emotions I felt, I dedicated it to Japan. Lately, my heart wrenches every time I see the news. My friends are suffering and [...]
By now you would have heard about the tragic news in Japan. I was glued to the TV for hours watching the news with disbelieve, sadness, shock and worry. I have met so many incredible people and was treated with warmth and kindness. Thank goodness for Facebook and Twitter, I’d manage to get hold of [...]
This is starting out to be an exciting Monday. I’m so happy to be featured on two separate spaces in a span of days. I wrote my first travel guest post for Scribbles of an Electronic Gypsy on the Top 5 places to visit in Japan. I wrote about the Tsukiji Market, cat cafes, the Ghibli [...]
“Do you see? Do you see?” That’s becoming G’s favourite line. Seeing Mt. Fuji was one of his missions ever since he knew he was returning to Japan. And, boy oh boy, was the big guy excited when that weekend finally arrived. We’d planned to leave Tokyo as early as possible to get to Kawaguchiko. However, [...]
It’s a fantastic thing if you’re a fan of museums, zoos and science centers and if you’re not, well, maybe you should. You may stand a chance to learn something new about the world around you. I’m not a museum person, though I don’t mind them either and I definitely learned so much about things [...]
I discovered this quaint little town on this blog – Tokyo Reviews. I was looking for places to go to with my GRUTT pass (another day on that) and stumbled upon S.I.’s very handy blog. So, if you’re planning to travel to Tokyo, this blog makes for great research. Blog this! Bookmark on Delicious Share [...]
I’ve been in Japan for four weeks now. Time sure flies. Sigh, yes, I do wonder where it all went. I was walking in Roppongi several weeks ago and I was intrigued by a large cooking school smacked in the middle of a shopping/ business complex. It didn’t look like it was for professionals but [...]
In the megacity, Tokyo-lites find themselves caged in shoebox flats with space enough to accomodate one. And more often than not, flats in Tokyo have no-pet policies. So where does a cat lover go for a quick cat-fix? Well, why not lounge for some kitty affection at a cat cafe? The first cat cafe in [...]
When Mr. G asked if I would like to have his iPhone I was hessitant. ‘What will I do with another phone?’ Readers, can you forgive me for my ignorance? As you already know, I’m a Facebook addict. The first and last thing I do every day is to log on and see who’s done [...]
Mr. G. and I spent last Saturday scouring Tsukiji fish market in Tokyo. No, we didn’t wake up at 3a.m. — that time of the morning is notorious for its tuna auctions bidded by approx. 35,000 buyers for the best restaurants around the world. We clambered out of bed around 6a.m. (okay okay, half past) [...]
