Staircase Wit

This book has a Gone Girl feel to it, but sadder. Still on the first few chapters, but enjoying it so far.

Book haul from Powerbooks’ closing out sale!

What an exciting place! Tokyo's ihawan and inuman alley, bursting with color and flavor.

After spending just five minutes in the Electric Town, I already felt very much at home.

Passed by Mt. Fuji while we were on the Shinkansen to Tokyo and it was the most spectacularly breathtaking experience. This photo will never do its magnificence justice. My jaw literally dropped in amazement when I first saw it. We went to Kawaguchiko and rode the ferry to enjoy an astounding view of Fuji-San. Then we ate tempura and drank sake after the ferry ride. What an experience!  

We had the nicest stroll at Meiji Jingu Park.  It was ten degrees out, but we didn't miss out on the opportunity to try Sake Ice Cream.

The Blue Grotto is a winter's dream.

We rode a bullet train to Hiroshima. A ride on the Shinkansen won't be complete without a bento meal.
