in love in tokyo










We were in Tokyo for our 15th wedding anniversary.

Sakura was a sight to behold - cherry blossoms.. I have always been in love with Japan .I was there as a trainee with JICA, 19 years ago.Things haven't changed much.An unspoilt culture and lots of charm.A view to die for at Park Hyatt and the relaxed feel of their beautiful parks.
Days in and out we were smitten and taken by their politeness.
Outside Tokyo ,Enoshima look as though they have never changed from Edo era.
Delightful sunny and brezzy we did lots of walking .We absolutely adore snuggling up in our tiny hotel room after a long day.
I want to write endless but I am nursing a cold.

Hope to add more photos tomorrow .

March Escapade-Saigon

I was in Ho Chi Minh just a few days ago.Hot and tired most of the times, I can't take good pictures nor tell the story or paint the history ;of unbearable pain and courage!
Arghh!I left with great appreciation of the Viatnamese people. Never before I truly understand the need to move on.
Thank you Vietnam.

Ben Thann Market
Getting around was cheap and convenient despite the language barrier.



Maybe because it was really hot ,I can't help but notice a peculiar smell everwhere I go.





A noodle stall




Our small IndoChine hotel elevator.

Our airplane food.An insult..


The gang...

Surah 78 An Naba"(The News)

Have we not made the earth as a bed.
And the mountains as pegs?
And we have created you in pairs male female,tall short,good and bad
And we have made your sleep as a thing for rest.
And we have made the night as a covering(through its darkness)
And we have made the day for livelihood.
And we have built above you seven strong heavens.
And we have made (therein)a shining lamp(sun)
And we have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water...

Then in what statement after this (Quran)will they believe.
