One memorable week in the Land of the Rising Sun!

Yup!  Carlos managed to get me another stuffed toy!  Such a sucker for these! :)

Empire State of Mind -- I wish!

Seeing the replica of the Statue of Liberty reminded me of NYC in an instant.  Made me reminisce about the big apple all over again and the adventures I had last year.  Here's wishing that Carlos and I will travel to farther places sometime soon! For now, we can only dream. 

Tokyo Tower

The Tokyo Tower, stands proud as it shows off its yellow glow.  Seeing it put a big smile on our faces as we've been wanting to see it for as long as we can remember.  Despite the drizzle and the cost of going there, I'm glad we saw it.  Definitely a wonderful representation of the capital of Japan.

Next Stop: Tokyo -- Day 4

Kyoto -- Day 3

The Fushimi Inari Shrine was on our list because we've been seeing pictures of it on travel pages, bloggers' feeds and so on.  Therefore, the moment we stepped foot in Japan, I immediately told Carlos that we HAD to go to Kyoto no matter what.  Lucky for us, Osaka and Kyoto are not far from each other.
