Day 9: Osaka – The Mad House

Posted on 30 Dec 201030 Dec 2010   by CY

Our first impression of Osaka is that it feels terrifically different from Kyoto. We’ve read enough about the importance of both cities and how they differ, but there are many other little things. Like how when emerging from Tanimachi 4-chome

Day 9: Kyoto to Osaka

Posted on 30 Dec 201030 Dec 2010   by CY

Day 8 and our last day in Kyoto! Strangely, time has passed by relatively slow for us when we’re on vacation. Though it’s just been a little over eight days, it seems like we’ve spent months staying at our ‘home’

Day 6: Kyoto – Breakfast. Lunch. Dinner.

Posted on 27 Dec 20104 Jan 2011   by CY

Food on Day 6 was pretty much all on opportunity. Apart from a general idea that we’d like to try out the fourth ‘must try’ dining place – a sushi conveyor belt eatery – on Ling’s list, we were all

Day 1: Kobe – Sannomiya Station

Posted on 22 Dec 201028 Dec 2010   by CY

Sannomiya Station is one of the main hubs of activity in Kobe, which sort of made our choice for scouting dinner locations pretty easy. Numerous, numerous eateries and restaurants to suit every budget, though much of the cuisine offered seemed

Day 1: Kobe – Kitano-Cho

Posted on 22 Dec 20102 Jan 2011   by CY

Our mid afternoon segment of our first day was spent exploring the Kitano-cho area. This district shows up as a suggested place of visitation for visitors to Kobe as it features well-preserved European-styled residences that were built during the Meiji

Day 1: Kobe – Chisun Hotel Kobe

Posted on 22 Dec 201028 Dec 2010   by CY

All the reviews we’d read of Japanese hotels pointed out to the relatively compact sizes of the rooms for most hotels short of the five star ones. So, at some level, we weren’t too surprised when we checked-in to find

Day 1: From Singapore to Kansai to Chisun Hotel Kobe

Posted on 22 Dec 20104 Jan 2011   by CY

The overnight flight from Singapore to Osaka was uneventful. As soon as we’d taken off – this was about 1:20 AM – the lights dimmed, which was about the cue for passengers to get some sleep before the service crew

Hannah @ 1 Year 5 Months!

Posted on 5 Nov 20105 Nov 2010   by CY

Our little one at all of 1 Year 5 Months. Development stages in the last month include her being able to recognize more words – including ‘nose’ and ‘ear’ to which she’d readily point to where it is – and

Hannah at Lentor and Elsewhere

Posted on 31 Oct 2010   by CY

A couple more pictures of Hannah and Mommy from yesterday afternoon’s swinging by parents’ home at Lentor: We figured we’d need to bring her there a lot more this couple of weeks leading up to our Japan trip, since Hannah

A selection of moments over the weekend with our growing girl! Hannah sees Mommy ordering off the Pizza Hut menu… … and immediately follows suit! :) She’s suddenly taken to giggling in the car of late! The left taken at

A Sign of Things to Come?

Posted on 4 Oct 2010   by CY

Lots of persons have remarked here and on our Facebook picture pages that Hannah looks a lot like me. Thing is, I just can’t see the resemblance! Now that she’s getting just a mite older, I’ve taken to looking harder

Boy or Girl

Posted on 28 Sep 2010   by CY

Ling was sharing just now a funny incident about Hannah. She was in Simei to pick up shoes for Hannah, when she was asked if Hannah is a boy or a girl! Truth to tell – if you ignored Hannah’s
