Christmas 2012 in Ginza:

Beautiful Tokyo Tower

Somehow, this reminds me of Beauty and the Beast

Yummy scones. The one on the right with the smiley face is 女の子のおすすめ! (women's favourite!)

Exploring KANSAI. First up, Kobe:

Our hotel was the white arched building on the right. It's supposed to look like a cruise.

The wind was so cold! I was suffering on the first day despite wearing so many layers.

Tried Kobe beef!

My first Mont Blanc. Now I'm hooked.

おはよう．．．

Buffet for brunch at the Fisherman's Market!

Nom nom nom.

Had a severe craving for oyako don.

Excited to eat my first oyako don in Japan

N A R A, Land of the Deers:

Visited the deer park in Nara!

These deers became so aggressive when I tried to feed them. A bunch of them encircles you and head butts you... they won't stop till they get food!

This was one of the really sweet deers that didn't attack us

Streets of Nara

Bought Mister Donuts!

Fell in love with all the green tea stuff in Uji

Cha Soba (Green Tea Soba) on a cold day = love

Matcha dessert

Rainy but beautiful streets of Uji
