Trinkets!

Monday, September 1st, 2008

My brother's flight came in this morning from Narita. :D And on our ride home, he showed me his many, many photos for Japan: people, culture, food, etc. He got these for me from a temple in Kyoto.

As Arthur said, these ...

Shanghai Café

Happy Chinese New Year to all! :)Usually, it's quite a challenge finding a place to eat after the parade in Chinatown. This year, however, my older cousin wanted to have Xiao Long Bao and she knew exactly where she wanted to go to have them.Shanghai Café is a rather petite ...
