Whirlwind trip to Aus...

お久しぶりです!

Greetings loyal readers! Hope all the residents of the Northern Hemisphere are keeping toasty warm as the weather cools down and the snow piles up. Lin and I had been planning and plotting and scheming since last year to make this super secret surprise visit happen. I saved up my pennies last year and got myself ready to *finally* make my way down to Brisbane to visits my Laheys. 8 years in the making, this trip was. Can you imagine how excited I was? Maybe. Haha.

Aomori Day 7: Towada revisited


The last day of my holidays, and while it was tempting to make another jammie day out of it, we decided to go back to Towada and check out Art Station Towada. It's a pretty funky set up with some really neat pieces. Again, you can't take pictures, but they had post card prints for sale, so I grabbed a bunch.

The audio-video displays, obviously could not be captured in such a way, but it was neat to visit. I shall have to keep an eye on the website and check it out again once they have some new stuff to see.

I made Japanese curry for dinner, my first try. I love that stuff so much, I wish I could eat it all the time. Omnomnomnom.

A nice end to a great set of holiday. Yeah. :)

Aomori Day 5: Shichinohe & Towada

Time to explore more of my new home... and teach Ashley how to walk to the Shinkansen station because I would be at work when she had to leave. We lucked out and got another nice day and made our way down to the station. Sadly, there were no displays at that time (when I'd been there a week earlier, there had been a plethora of mobiles and some kimonos on display. I think there were for Girls' Day).
