perth in 2011

weather - cooling

foodies - seafood is fresh, roasted duck make m drooL, crepe is beautiful, veg n fruits are sweet.

shopping - wonderful, but au currency is rather high this time... "shop lesser"

 

m really miss foodies at "lok fook", esp they dessert : thick n rich red bean soup and mango pudding r lovely, which u will regret if u miss it! roasted duck at " the good one" is just so tender n yummyyyyyy. eason chan "Duo concert" was AWESOME, CANT WAIT FOR HIS NEXT CONCERT TO COME, simply fall in love by every of his songs...

 

a nice place to stay, driving 40km/hr at the subrub, so relax n peaceful.

 

my next visit to perth? not so soon i guess, something not great had happened on our last day! hauling n causing m to have sleepless nites... didnt really think, just that couldnt forget what had happened. waiting for this sucks feeling to fade... happy moments fly fast and a day of bad day = 1 week or more. (mind is so blank now, staring blindly at the screen.)

1st stone in 2011

Days in Japan were WONDERFUL. neva really come to my mind going to japan... well, m went! so in love with Hokkaido, perhaps staying at countryside... so much great foodiesss, beside the stupid XXX foodies, so awful, n tasteless... fav place to stay - hotels near 地狱谷 (hot spring is so wonderful) n ski resort (thrilling n exciting), gosh, had an unforgettable  WHITE birthday trip,

 

温泉酒店

my 1st time to the hot spring was shy n exciting... fell in love with the hot spring after the 1st visit! was told that most Japanese visit hot spring 3 times a day, (三泡) soak early in the morning, soak before dinner and soak after dinner. water is as hot as 40+ degrees, esp the outdoor hot spring, goshhhh snow falling on u, while soaking... mmmmm... m will never forget such feeling :) cant wait to go back japan again! too tired to enjoy the tatami room ;p gonna woke up early in morning, busy soaking, and everyday busy changing hotels n pushing luggage... lucky didn't shop that much *wink* shop mainly on unhealthy foodies...
