Look what I got for myself last week. A Sony NEX-5 camera! I’ve been researching for a new camera for a while now, and although I was more inclined to get a DSLR (either a Nikon or Canon), I chickened-out and opted for a more beginner friendly camera.

Another visit to Sushi King for us last week. It’s funny that we’ve pretty much avoided coming to Sushi King or any other kaiten-zushi place after our holiday to Japan last year but now that our trip is looming, we’ve been eating Japanese food again at regular basis. Raimie wanted to go to Sushi King so that’s why we went there again

I don’t really watch all that much Korean drama, preferring the variety shows like Let’s Go Dream Team and 1N2D but there is one drama I look forward to each week titled Becoming A Billionaire/The Birth Of The Rich (부자의 탄생). The drama follows the story of a man, Choi Suk Bong, who believes that he is actually the son of a rich father and heir to a chaebol group (family business/conglomerate or something…). He meets Lee Shin Mi, who is actually a chaebol heir but acts nothing like one, with her scrimping and frugal ways

It’s been a while since we last used/referred to an English Language travel guide book on Japan. Whatever guide books available on the shelves in bookstores simply don’t provide us enough information about Japan anymore.
