Fugu

Fugu, (box fish/puffer fish) are are delicacy in Japan, and also my pet. The actual fish to eat is bigger than the ones I have but deadly poisonous. Chefs need a special license in Japan in order to prepare the fish for eating (removing all the poisonous parts). The taste is rather bland in my opinion but it obviously appeals to some as it is also fairly expensive.
Of course I would never eat my fish, they seem to have a character all of their own which i have never seen in fish.. they are also constantly hungry!!!

iPhone

Its arrived :) The long awaited and much speculated about item...the Apple iPhone. Tired of carrying your phone and your ipod around separately? No problem pick up this dandy device and your all set for any eventuality... ok well maybe thats going a bit too far but eventualities involving phones and ipods anyway :-)
It looks nice! but...has a touch screen, i dont know exactly why but never been a fan of these... end up getting your finger marks all over the screen, sometimes the wrong button is pressed by mistake etc..... oh well its not available in Japan anyway (not sure if it ever will be since the phone networks here are quite tightly controlled, we only just got razor)

Kamakura - Enoshima

Well today I decided to go out somewhere... was playing with the idea of going to FujiYoshida (near to Mt.Fuji) but the weather was just 'OK' so changed my mind and ended up at Kamakura. This is a popular seaside place for both foreigners and Japanese alike. Its famous for temples and shrines but decided to not go that route today and ended up at the beach... pretty deserted but nice all the same.
Started walking along and along and eventually found myself at Enoshima which is another famous seaside resort along the coast. A good workout at any rate and it did present some photo opportunities on the way.....

Train snacks

Its so cute! Well... so Japanese at any rate, only in Japan can you buy snacks from the train when you're not actually on the train yet..

Mille

I was window shopping today and saw this ...... would love to own it but its rather expensive :-(
Still I can dream......
