sometimes I go places
Roppongi Hills has a hidden treasure called Gen Yamamoto. A beautiful bar where the chef only takes bookings if you call his place directly. Mr. Yamamoto accepted our reservation the same day (lucky for us!) and we were able to enjoy his delicious tasting menu of 6 cocktails. His cocktails were all fresh, made out…
When I first spotted my first geisha, I had to be careful not to seem like a stalker. Obviously, I wanted to shout, "omg it's a geisha!" But, I had to play it cool. The true geishas in Gion are super secretive and I almost never see them. Some of them arrive in black cars…
I love Kyoto! To be honest, I didn't do much research on Kyoto when I planned my trip to Japan. When I finally got to Kyoto, I quickly fell in love. Kyoto is a mix of old and new, with historical buildings throughout the city mixed in with a modern city. I loved it, I…

Mekong, Taiwan I was so excited to visit Taiwan. After all, this was the land of night markets and really good food. I went to the night markets, but seriously did not think I would fall in love with another part of Taiwan, and it is Mekong. Mekong is famous for their tea. You can…
If you haven't noticed already - I really love Italy. I promise I'll post about another country next time, but this time I found myself in Sicily. After making our way to Palermo, then Cefalu, then a long boat ride out, we finally made our way to Lipari. It is such a gorgeous island, with…
