Fried Gingko nuts

fried Ginkgo/Gingko nuts

I finally tried Ginkgo /Gingko nuts! :D I have to say... I'm not as impressed as I thought I would be... thought they should be way crispier... *disappointed

I always get confused... are they Gingko or Ginkgo? both are correct in my spell check... (FYI, they do not call them Gingko or Ginkgo in Japanese)

Sping continues in Tokyo

Tokyo yellow looking sakura petals
bigger than Sakura though

Spring continues to fill us with new flowers in Tokyo. I was happy to see these sweeties around my neighbourhood this past week. 

Tokyo yellow looking sakura petals

I was surprised that just like Cherry Blossoms (Sakura) they also have an interesting "chopped off" part in their petals :). But unlike Sakura, these flowers are strong and much bigger as opposed to Sakura which are delicate and small.

I actually feel encouraged by the beauty of the flowers that good things will continue to happen :)

flags



such a windy day, yet the wind is the only way these flags will be hoisted properly...
