A special one for you

Merry Christmas, TAG comrades!

That someday will come soon, I hope!
Funny when you are in Japan, I am always in your country.

I know - it’s always like the powers that be just don’t want it to happen. ;)

Photo is at some convenience store in Tokyo a while ago. Coke with coffee flavor. Not sure about that.

:LOL: I was looking at that exact thing minutes after taking the meltykiss pic, thinking if I wanted to take a can home with me (but couldn’t since we had already checked our bags in)

It has been two weeks since my last trip to Tokyo and I miss it so much, especially dining with two of my favorite people in the world.
Whether it’s at a fancy restaurant, a family eatery at a mall or a neighborhood izakaya, I consider these meals with my lovely companions absolutely precious.
Here are a few of the delicious dishes from my recent visit.

Sorry for the bad photo quality.
I was in Yokohama today for an appointment and had some free time to walk around & explore. So many different visuals and scents intertwine in Chinatown.

Wow. I do believe I can spot my place in that pic. I have a pretty clear view of Skytree... the circular lights at night are mesmorizing in the window. :p

Decades ago when I was a uni kid I found a wad of bills in the street. I think it was 70k in 10k bills. Just the money, nothing else. It was a small quiet street with several snack pubs around and after some thought I realised I probably saw the persons who dropped them.

There was this couple that passed me by a couple of minutes before. The young guy was very handsome and his companion much older lady in expensive clothes. I first thought they were a mother and a son but after seeing the money I realised the guy was speaking in a way too polite Japanese to her.

I turned back and tried to find them but I guess they had gone in to one of the snacks and didn't see them anymore. I figured the guy is going to have to earn that money so I walked to the closest police box in just two blocks away and gave them the story. I gave them the details about the guy but skipped the older lady and they dutifully scripted everything down and off I was.

Much to my surprise I got a letter three months later to come to the police station. After going there they unceremoniously handed me the money as nobody had claimed it. Was totally baffled by the whole thing but as it was p4p money to begin with I decided it must not be wasted and promptly used it for the same purposes.
