February 25, 2014. This post is for Trish, Jani and Nikki. I have discovered that Japan is a bit mad for the Moomins. A Moomin theme park will open in Tokyo in 2015 and there is Moomin merchandise in many stores. I have seen many Moomin books, cookies, sweets etc. And while out for some retail therapy with P some weeks back – I found the perfect answer to my study blues … A Pikku My t-shirt just for me. My in my pikku My shirt. If only we had got there earlier. Something fishy ’bout that. February 9, 2014.

Another beanie on the loose →. Thanks for the sweets Okinawa. January 21, 2014. The Japanese have a tradition called Omiyage. This is when returning from holidays they purchase packages of local food products as gifts for family and colleagues. I can’t describe for you just how massive this is. The entire airport (even the small provincial airports) are filled to the brim with boxes of beautifully packed goodies. In Okinawa, the big focus for omiyage is either beni imo. Well, we could not overlook this t...

Kagoshima day #2 | Send More Yen

https://sendmoreyen.wordpress.com/2014/02/04/kagoshima-day-2

Hello from Kagoshima – Day #1. Snowing in Tokyo →. February 4, 2014. The morning saw us in relative sunshine, and the day was forecast to reach the glorious temperature of 21 degrees celsius. My kind of place. Lunch was to be provided, from preselected options, but as all of these were non-vegetarian I headed to the convenience store to pick up a few emergency snacks (just in case it was a very bad showing when we got to the lunch place). Peace by origami cranes. From here we made our way to a volcanic s...

Newer posts →. Fuji-san and Kimono glory. January 14, 2014. I caught my first glimpse of Fuji-san yesterday. It was a clear winter morning, and the sun was shining in Tokyo. I was on the train headed to uni for an exam (on a public holiday no less! Fuji-san – there in the distance between the buildings and above the cranes. Regardless of the challenges, and near misses, we found each other. Tokyo tower – a major Tokyo landmark. Coming of age day glam! Another moment of amazement in Japan. January 14, 2014.

Finnish design →. Something fishy ’bout that. February 9, 2014. Is that Shellie eating fish? Yes, and no. Something fishy going down here. A fish, yes. Fish meat, no. In Japan there is a really yummy treat called Taiyaki. Its a pastry in the shape of a fish which is basically a pancake batter filled with sweet red bean paste. They were fresh from the grill, and on a chilly day out in Tokyo they were the prefect warming treat. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here. Address never made public).

Snowing in Tokyo | Send More Yen

https://sendmoreyen.wordpress.com/2014/02/05/snowing-in-tokyo

Kagoshima day #3 →. February 5, 2014. We awoke in the dim light of morning. I was tired and so was more than happy to relax on the pillow until the sun came up. No classes to go to that day. I said good morning to P and asked what time it was, and did we have to get up yet. He just smiled at me and said, its not a sunny day today. It was already after 9am! The light was that of pre-dawn. It was going to be an inside day! Glad I did not have to go to school. Snow falling in the forecourt. Me in the snow.

Another beanie on the loose | Send More Yen

https://sendmoreyen.wordpress.com/2014/01/25/another-beanie-on-the-loose

Thanks for the sweets Okinawa. The next adventures →. Another beanie on the loose. January 25, 2014. I finished another crafty project over the new year break. But things have been so busy at school that I had not seen its recipient until yesterday. But finally I succeeded in finding Tomomi, my Japanese friend, and was able to hand over the goods. She was very pleased – as this photo shows. Penguin pose in beanie. What do you think? I am not so sure I see the similarity. Pororo – the little penguin.
