Took me more than 2 hours to unpack and sort out my b*tch*s and the boys' souvenirs last night. Crraaazzzy!!! And jimjim was the first to get his 'presento' this morning. He said the packing too nice wor..so he's not gonna open it until the end of the day perhaps. Leave it in his office first for ppl to see-see!
Mom think's I'm crazy to buy so many different types to 'kit kat'...
And Bert got a little jealous cause he has now got 5 new friends to share the house with. Elmo in so many different colours...I did not buy all the colours they were available in simply because I miscalculated the cost of each one...not that they were much cheaper with my initial calculation...
So just some pictures and a quick description of what I did since my last post...
A day trip to Yokohama....
Yokohama commercial port and the bridge from a distant on a rainy day..
A short tour of the Rose Garden..I bet the blooming roses during spring would be gorgeous...
Japanese people maybe like to have strange names in the medical profession...I wonder what doctors like to diagnose patients in the 'Bluff Clinic'..remember the ANAL SPECIALIST (below picture posted last week?)
Yokohama's Chinatown - the largest in Japan and one of the largest in the world...
......has really good dim sum, but it's super duper costly, for a table of 6 who did not eat excessively, the bill came up to about RM600.
After the Mandarin Oriental experience ended, I checked out to stay with the Omori's in a town called Onta-chyo. I was told that in Japan, vegetables are more expensive than meat, so it's more economical to grow your own vegetables. So, Omori-san and his wife rented a small plot of land to plant their own 'yasai' for Y40,000 a year.
During winter, they normally grow cauliflowers and brocolis. They taste so good, you can even eat it on its own (like Gardenia bread) and raw. No chemicals used!!!
After I had enough of shopping, shopping and shopping....I took a stroll in Shinjuku gyoen, a park in busy Shinjuku (entrance fee costs Y200), about 10 minutes walk from Takashimaya...See the sign on the far right that says 'no alcohol'. Ha ha..so which means some of my friends (you know who you are), probably would not set foot in the park...
This is me with Mika-Chan....cute or not!
And finally on the last night....a sumptuous 'yosenabe' dinner, equivalent to our hot pot..
And the one and only time I had 'chawan moshi' in Tokyo...although it is my favourite Japanese dish...
Hmm..that basically sums up my trip to Japan....
Now it's time to look forward to Christmas and the annual dinner in Hong Kong Disneyland next weekend....XOXO
Decorating our little office with a mini paper Christmas Tree I bought in Tokyo ths morning back at work on a dreary Monday morning....
