This city makes me feel I can do anything!

Notice: spicy vegetarian curry at CAMP and the unfortunate sign in the local train of how *some* Japanese view non-Japanese.

Day Six: Okayama

WOW what a day! Lunch at my all-time favorite (and organic) Japanese restaurant: nonocafe followed by a visit to Okayama Crow Castle (because of its black colour), Okayama Korakuen (apparently Japan’s third best garden) and lastly, a healthy picnic dinner in Kurashiki Ivy Square. Note: the woman posing in the eight picture after the fish tehe.

Japan’s One And Only White Castle: Day 3/4

Day 3:
Breakfast at Tiffany’s (I mean Anisa’s) followed by a road-trip to Okayama Aeon Mall then a pizza dinner in Iran (I mean Wake Town). For dessert, black tea and Persian sweets!

Day 4: An entire day spent at Himeji castle during the beautiful (I mean busy) sakura season. Kirei yo! Then a much needed supper ft my healthy treats at home.

The Last Samurai

So I haven’t actually seen this movie.. but now I have a reason to! Yesterday I visited one of the apparently iconic sites of The Last Samurai at Mount Shosha in Himeji city. And it was really something! Here are the pictorials… for reference, the first dish is Japanese soba with wild vegetables and the second, prawn pizza and third, the love of my life, tirafreakinmisu.

Before you start scrolling down (hey.. hey! Stop scrolling!) please take a moment to appreciate the alliteration of this post. PPP! Ok, now you may go.

My favourite were the baby limes on the bottom left corner – so delicious!

Zoom in if you dare!

Carrying bags of…human flesh?

This is not an optical illusion.

Who knew baby green eggplants existed?

SURPRISE!

The ladies at work threw me a surprise birthday party in the most adorable little cottage (guesthouse) in the middle of the woods! And, the best part is, it’s only 5 minutes from my house! Meaning, Delaram and Andy (my sister and brother in-law) we’re going to spend a day and a night in fairy land come December!
