This week was a hectic blur it seemed like – work always keeps me busy and having other small jobs on the side doesn’t really make it any better. And my good friend who had been doing her year abroad in Tokyo stayed a few nights at my place this week before she left … Continue Reading
I spent a relaxing day in Yokohama today with family friends. Blue sky, an ocean breeze (well, more like wind)… it was a Sunday well spent. It was my first time visiting the Red Brick Warehouse, a sort of shopping mall now but originally a customs building. One of the perks of Yokohama … Continue Reading
I was supposed to go to a Baystars vs. Tigers baseball game on Sunday but my friend didn’t realize tickets would sell out during Golden Week so plans changed… We decided to walk over to Chu-kagai or the Chinatown of Japan in Yokohama.
