Best listened while driving on the highway at night, just to avoid people wondering why I'm screaming the English lyrics to the perfection like a crazy Japanese person... Or just to avoid people see or hear me screaming. Also make sure the volume on the stereo is explosive to some extent.

Better if you have a passenger in the car to scream with you.

Not in particular order.

Lunch a la Whole-Food

My favorite macrobiotic cafe is on Omotesando Street, and I was hungry and in the right place when I was strolling around Tokyo.

I hadn't eaten there for a little while, so I was quite excited to sit down at the table for their lunch special with a cup of sake-kasu soup and brown rice. YUM!



Look how pretty! And everything you see in this is vegetable! Only wish that I could eat this way every day of my life.

Felt very healthy afterwards.

Until next time,

New Year's Prayer

Was in Tokyo on Tuesday. I was gonna visit a museum that opened last year in Chiba, but found out it was closed the day. So I decided to stroll around Aoyama.

My first and foremost mission: visiting Meiji Shrine for a much delayed new year's prayer. It's a tradition in Japan where people visit a shrine to pray for whatever they wish during the new year's holiday, preferably as soon as the new year begins. I hadn't done that yet, and was going to on 23rd with T, but I'd been having the worst luck beginning with the missing luggage in Dubai (...yea, missing!), so I didn't think I should prolong my pilgrimage.


Prayed for the world peace, my health and well-being, and also gave my apology for not having visited earlier.

Until next time,
