Land of the Rising Sun

The first time I missed Japan was in 2009. At that time I wanted to go with my sister but I couldn't make it as I had to be in the shop. My mum went instead.

The second time, I had wanted to visit Japan in 2012 but it didn't materialise as the agency cancelled the trip. And that's how I ended up with Eastern Europe. I brought my mum along.

This time, I have to make sure it materializes. I signed up for the tour recently and I am bringing my eldest girl with me. My SIL is following me on this trip.
 

Last time, we had to get visa for entering Japan. But this time, entering Japan doesn't need a visa anymore. It's so much convenient. 

I'm looking forward to visit Japan, the Land of the Rising Sun.

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
