One thing I love the most of Japan is their food (Ok, after my family and friends). Especially, their sweets are really excellent! From the way they create the sweets in such pretty, artistic way, to the flavor of each items, it always surprised me with great joy. I wanted to share some of the […]
Visiting a farmers market is always fun, you get to see/buy fresh veggies, fruits, flowers, drinks, etc., etc. Even if you don’t buy anything, it is fun to walk around the farmers market (to me). We visited the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market, right behind the Ferry Plaza for some lunch and sweets. There are some […]

Rainy day is a really nice hideaway cafe in a bookstore in Tokyo. It can’t be a bit hard to find, but it is worth the time, as they have a very relaxing atmosphere, high quality coffee, and friendly staff. It is good place hang out alone or with some friends, or even use it […]
