Konichiwa!!

Hello! Hello! :)

It's been a week today since our family went for a short vacay in one of my most favorite places in the world -- the land of the rising sun and the home to samurais, ninjas and takoyakis -- Japan! It was twice the fun with our little girl and the grannies, and more memorable coz hubs and I were reminded of the days when we first went there for our honeymoon.

I have plenty of photos to share and a lot of stories to tell in the next few posts but they will have to wait once my body has caught up with all the pagod and puyat. In the past few days, I am still feeling the fatigue and most of the time, I wake up in the morning wearing the same clothes I wore to the office the day before. Eeew right, that's how tired I am these days :)

Meanwhile, while I am still trying to regain my blogging mojo back, I am posting today some of our photos from the trip. All of these have been posted in my IG account already so if we are friends in IG (and/or FB), sorry coz I know this will be too much for you :)

Dotonbori is a single street in Osaka famous for its shops, restos and many neon and merchandise signs.

One of the prides of Osaka: takoyaki balls! Got this serving for a whopping 580 Yen (~US$ 6)!!!!

Dined at Yoshinaya and this set was lent for my little girl's perusal

Clockwise from upper left: Beautiful jellies from the Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan, The Grand Ferris Wheel Tempozan, Osaka Castle and the sign leading to Ebisu Bashi-Suji shopping area

The Golden Pavilion in Kyoto. It's literally covered with gold film. Gaaah, always take my breath away!!!
