What can I say? I can hardly believe that Japan is officially in recession. Just watch the cash registers ringing in the departmental stores in Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka and you will agree with me.

After three days in Tokyo and two days in Hakone and Izu, I got in to Osaka yesterday night after a 2 hours ride in the Shinkansen (bullet train) from Atami. It was an amazing experience for all of us, especially my four year old.

It can be a timeout session of spending a day in the spa, go for a facial, go shopping for your favourite shoes or go for an [...]
My hubby just reminded me that in two years’ time, we would need to get ready some shipping boxes for our move. There is a mix of excitement and uncertainty, yet I know things will work out for us!
Probably we’ll need to get some good luggage and bags when the real moment comes! I can’t [...]
