Don


At the Korean restaurant on 32nd street

Subway


49th street station from midtown to 32nd street station to meet Don for dinner.

Times Square


I'm here until tomorrow night to give a presentation to my clients on recent trends in accounting and auditing. Times Square is as busy and dirty as usual. I really enjoyed Chicago this time again, and wish to spend more time...

A bug


This little caterpilles scared the heck out of me since Josh suddenly noticed it on my pant!

Water fountain


The water fountains are on two sides of this area, and in between are 1 inch deep water to cool ourselves from the summer heat. Josh and I

Leaving Tokyo


I'm always saddened by leaving Japan. It's a bit different from really missing Japan, but more nostalgic... The weather during this visit was great. Vi was also great to see my cousin getting married. It really was a great visit.

The second gate at night

The first gate in Asakusa


I've returned back from the dinner and walked through the temple to get back to the hotel I'm staying at. This is the first gate to the temple at night lit up.

All of us


It's been so long since all four of us have gotten together. This dinner was scheduled so that we can all spend time together as we used to as children... Was a very good, relaxing dinner together.

Daisuke and his girlfriend

They live in a different prefecture, about 100km away from Chiba, on the other side of Tokyo. They came from Yamanashi today and they've also just arrived.

my sis and Katsu


It's Katsu's wedding this weekend. He just returned home from running errands.

Uncle


After playing the piano a bit for him, we started dinner as my counsins were late for dinner. He's his usual friendly, warm, and talkative self, and as you'll see in my other posts, the food ranged from stew, sashimi (toro + others), tofu, edamame..... my favorites!

At my cousins' house - the doggies


Riko is the mommy dog (the dark colored one) and the lighter colored one is the daughter, Sachi. They were so excited when I arrived, they peed all over the front porch! They watched us eat dinner...
