Chen Family Abode

W does not talk much about her family and the history of the family. At a few occasions, she has talked about the family house, which was taken by the goverment at some point and later turned into some kind of museum.

Tokyo day THREE

Today was so nice to us, the weather was fantastic and everything was nice. W and I sat the alarm to wake us up early to go to the local fish marked. This was much fun as expected and one of those must-see thing to do when you are in Tokyo.

Tokyo day ONE

Tokyo is an imtimidating huge city and you sense the size and the pulse the second you arrive. We had a long journey from Kyoto behind us as we arived at Shinogawa station in the middle (I think!) of Tokyo.

Kyoto day 4 - DEPARTURE

Seems Japan lives in another world, a better world. It seems the live in a world similar to ours, before it went broke. A world where everybody take pride in doing what they are supposed to do, and to do it well. A world where people can be trusted and where it is not ok to cheat people even it is possible. A world where 15 minutes early is better than 5 minutes late. A world that believes in quality instead of quantity. A world we would all like to live in, but only the Japanese manage to maintain. I envy the Japanese for this.

Kyoto day THREE - SUN

Today has been a beautiful day with blue sky and much sun. Exactly the day you wish for when on vacation,the day you need after the day yesterday and the day best suited for visiting the golden temple in Kyoto, which is one (of the many) must see's here.
