Shopping

Dear bought a pair of Onitsuka Tiger sneakers at a Roppongi Hills shopping mall Tokyo.


Nong got this boot on sale at only 15,000 yen at Isetan, Tokyo.

Traveling in Tokyo is pretty convenient, thanks to the mass transit trains.

Miraikan

On the last day of the trip we went to Miraikan, a National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation where the recent model of Azimo was demonstrated.

Daibutsu Temple

Khun Sivaporn and Nong Pat were appreciating the Great Buddha of Kamakura, which was located in the Daibutsu Temple.

Asakusa Temple

Khun Bua, our local guide, touched the Buddha statue to plead for stronger health.

Strawberry Farm

Before catching the plane back home, we visited a strawberry farm, where we could pick and eat strawberries as much as we liked.

What We Feel About Japanese Food

P' Ad: I wish my daughters were here helping me eat.

Me: Matsusaka is the best beef I have ever tasted.


Dear: Eating Matsusaka beef with hot sake brings me to heaven.


Thank God for this meal!

Thanom: This seaweed tastes perfect.


P' Ad: One Toro for me.
P' Rochana: Another one for me too.
Pat: How about my Toro? I've waited for too long.
K. Siva (his hand seen only): Hey! I placed my order before these ladies.
Chef: I'm sorry my Toro stock is gone, because of all of you!

Noi: Great beef!


P' Ad posed with her empty bowl of chicken rice.

Dear turned crazy when he got to the Ramen museum.

Happy New Year 2008

Our family celebrate 2008 New Year's Party at my new condo. Mom and I are preparing the ingredients for Spaghetti Meatballs.


Hoping the cooking is successful!


Here it is! Spaghetti Meatballs my style.

After the dinner and near midnight countdown, we went upstairs to the highest floor of the condo to see the fireworks. This was the moment before the midnight.

5...4...3...2...1....Happy New Year!

SD New Year Party

Khun Sivaporn and P' Rochana hosted a 2008 New Year's Party at their house.


The famous Somchit's beef and pork noodles,near St. Gabriel School, was here. I had two and Dear had three. They were very delicious.


After the dinner, some guests preferred to try their luck.

But I preferred to see the beautiful lights decorated on the trees outside the house.
