I managed to fly over to the east for a short holiday this weekend. Although it's short, it's nice to meet up with friends....

I made a photo book with the pictures i took and here's a screen shots of the contents:

Weekend with penguins - tokyo trip last day

17 July, 2006 (Mon) - rainy

Time flies, waking up this morning noticing that today is the end of my penguin journey. The feeling of needing to get back to reality was so cruel. How i wish this holiday never ends.

hehe, before going back, i still have to, at least, fill my stomach with some good food to make it a perfect fullstop. Here you go, a very nicely designed western restaurant serving extremely delicious pasta and desserts.

Nice interior design, simple and with big and comfortable color contrast

weekend with Penguins - tokyo trip day 3

16 July, 2006 (Sun) - cloudy and windy

Today is the day  for penguins.......................................

Originally we planned to kick off our journey at 0900, haha, ended up leaving at almost 1100.
Before starting the journey, went to my faourite place for some soup. Soup-Stock:

I had -> onion pouch and green curry soup this time, i like the green curry one, really delicious

Weekend with penguins - tokyo trip day 2

15 July, 2006 (Sat) - sunny day, extremely hot

woke up at 11, hea until 13, finally get my buds moving to a new place in tokyo for me: 吉祥寺, after reading some books, i decided that i wanted to visit somewhere with nice cafes and small shops.

It's quite far from Ueno but metro is comforable in tokyo, hehe, during the journey, there was a sudden storm and the train simply had to stopped for a while. We decided to get off at some unknown station and search for something to please our stomach first!

haha, lucky us, we went to a "not so 起眼" restaurant and ordered two sets of grilled fish....................YUMMY!! I would say this was really the yummiest grilled Mackerel i've ever had....haha. Later found out that it's actually a chain store, good...i'm gonna visit it often!

Yummy mackerel

Weekend with Penguins - tokyo trip day 1

My dear friends,

I finally get the chance to visit my favourite animal in the world - Penguins again afer > 10 years of missing them (the last time was in ocean park). I flew so far just to see them! (kidding), so here comes my short summary for the tokyo trip this weekend.

14 July, 2006 (Friday) - sunny day

Thanks my colleagues for seeing me off at the airport (haha, acutally we just went to lunch together and after lunch, i directly hop on the plane). It's my first time to enjoy our benefit after joining an airline, originally i was worried about the SUBLO policy, yet, it seems that nothing was so different, i got my boarding pass immediately, simply because there were too many empty seats.

4 hours of flight, watched two movies:

1. Crazy shoppers (local movie by Cheung pak chi)

• A topic worth exploring -> everyone in our society suffers from some kinds of diseases, probabaly because of the huge pressure we're bearing everyday
• Other than that, the movie is just a mess. Nothing much to say.

2. Beauty and the Beast (Korean movie)

• I like korean movies, especially romantic comedy, they are easy to watch and sometimes really good at bringing out beautiful side of life through humorous scenes. Beauty and the Beast is a very simple romantic story, a pretty blind girl fall in love with a ugly guy and when she was about to regain her sight, her boyfriend disappeared because he was afraid to let her see his real face. He went to perform a cosmetic sugery and failed finally. Happy endling of cause. You'll have to watch it yourself to taste the sweetness in the movie.
• A lot of the little moments are executed well, the actors are charismatic and overall it's fairly entertaining. The supremely talented Ryoo Seung-beom turns in a nice performance, as you might expect he would, and Shin Min-ah is extremely charming -- you can understand why both men are falling all over themselves for her.

You might want to enjoy a sweet comedy during weekend with your honey, check it out!

Hokaido is amazing

Dear Friends,

I am sure all of you gonna understand my struggle: wanting to write everything about the trip yet, being lazy and later, forgetful.
