In Travel: Parks A Plenty
Plain and simple. I like parks. If there’s a park around, I will surely find my way to it at some point or another. I think you can really get a feel for a city when you visit its parks. I come from a park town. Ottawa is well-known for its parks. In fact, there [...]

Tokyo Fashion Police: What’s Wrong With This Picture # 2
This guy was by far the most interesting looking person we’ve seen on our travels and he was more than happy to oblige when we asked for a picture. There’s so much going I totally missed the peak-a-boo nipples until I looked at the picture when we got home. I was too busy gazing with [...]

Kokeshi Dolls of Japan

In fact, I’m starting to think these adorable little dolls will become a collectible item for me. They’re utterly charming and unique. These dolls were [...]
What Your Tuna Goes Through
Tsujiki Fish Market in Tokyo opens early. This is the place to come if you want to see all kinds of sea dwelling creatures before they end up on your plate as sashimi at the end of the day. 5:30 am comes awfully early when you’re trying to get in the mood to spend time [...]
