Japan Trip

Just to share snapshots of some beautiful nature in Japan.

Visited the farms in the Kashima area in Japan before the big 9.0 earthquake. There were rice padis and their local specialty, the Shiona Cabbage.

These photos were taken before the devastating tsunami hit Japan earlier this year. Kashima was one of the cities that was badly hit and looking at these photos, everything really seems surreal.

How a wonderfully quiet little town famous  for their most successful J. League team, Kashima Antlers is not no longer the same. Kashima also had one of Japan oldest shrines built in 660BC. I have no idea what the place looks like after the tsunami. I had initially planned a trip to Japan with my family in February this year but postponed I found difficulties trying to align everyone’s schedule. Then the tsunami hit and the whole trip was cancelled. I hope to be able to visit Japan again this year though I know that some of the little towns like this one won’t be the same any more so here’s sharing my photos with you.

I will be share more photos of Japan in the Ibaraki prefecture in the next few photo journal posts.

Taken above the clouds as I travel the world.

This post marks the end of my Japan trip photos

I honestly can’t wait for my next trip to Japan. I know quite a few girl friends are keen on a trip together as well!

My little Eeyore has traveled quite a few destinations with me and have been lucky to get his own seat most of the time! He even sat suite class to Paris once though I doubt he’ll ever get that chance again.

And I know a lot of people out there hates airplane food but I have been having pretty good food on Singapore Airlines flights so far! Maybe it’s the destinations I go to but I have no complaints  on the standard of airplane food.
