Hanami
In Japan, the best seasons are the fall and spring. These are the times of the year when you can be outside and enjoy all that the flora can offer around town. Or, many people take special trips around this time. The spring offers views of the famous cherry blossoms where you can see people sitting under trees having picnics or drinking parties. This is known as hanami – looking at flowers. While…

It has been an amazing time spending it with my 11-year-old godson. He is really a good kid and his parents have done a fantastic job with him so far in teaching him to be a responsible little person. He has a lovely personality and no doubt will become a wonderful young adult. Still, I have come to reaffirm that kids for me, might have been okay until the pre-teen/teenage years. I most…

Interview
Well, I have kept this quiet until the interview was done and until I felt a little more certain about the possible direction. The former is probably about there while the latter will have to wait until some kind of response is received. Still, there is a slight possibility of a job in Japan. I was not sure about doing the interview until I arrived, though I had done a Skype interview beforehand.…

Kyoto Day 3
Our last half-day in Kyoto was a cold and wet one. We put on our Oregonian minds and endured the rain drops enough to do the short walk along the Philosophers’ Path (哲学の道哲学の道) where we reminisced about the old days when J and I created our own pronunciation of philosophize to philoSOPHisize because we had trouble saying it correctly. Now, it will never be said properly…. 🤣😂 The Path leads to the Silver…

Kyoto Day 2
Nearly another 20,000 steps saw us with a “lighter” touristy day…. We decided to head out to Arashiyama since J had never been out there and it had been quite a while since I went out that way. It is not far outside of the downtown area and E was super excited about the train as it is some kind of special one – afraid it was lost on me. 😉 Arashiyama is…

Kyoto Day 1
It’s been many years since I made a visit to Kyoto again after living there for three years in 2001-2004. Sometime ago I made a short visit as my first time back since my divorce. I wanted to remember my love for the city outside of the time being unhappily married during those years. Now, I am back again wishing my new hubby was with us, but loving the trip down memory lane…

An Ethan Day
Today was a day with my godson since J had to work. So, beforehand I gave him a task to organize something to do for us. He had a good plan that we set into action. We headed to Roppongi to start our adventure at the Hedgehog Cafe. Only in Japan would there be a place that they charge people to come in and pet hedgehogs with a time limit even…. It was…

Staying Warm
The warmth of Abu Dhabi is starting to be a little missed, but for the past few days the desert has been full of thunderstorms, lightning and rain. The only difference is the temperature. 🙂 While I miss my big teddy bear warmer known as my hubby, I am staying warm with the company and spoiling of my BFF and family. <3 So, not too much to say at the moment as it…

Narrowing In
The male gender may not fully understand the art of the female chatter. However, the female chatter plays a very important role in working out different options for decisions to be made or to at least see different perspectives on possible options. Of course, at the end of the day things will happen as they are meant to be regardless of our desire to feel as if we are making any decisions for…
