Towards the end of January I had the chance to visit Japan with my brother Philip. It was a holiday simply to get away from all the worries in the past few months, as well as a chance to see each other after two years apart.
The passing of our mother made me want to weave a better web amongst us brothers, Philip, Kevin, and I, simply because the original bond, my mother, isn’t here anymore.
I am sure mom would want us to stick together, through good and bad times as well.
During this trip, Philip and I travelled through Kyoto, Osaka, Shusenji (in Izu), and Tokyo. These are the pictures that describe our fun times during this two-week trip.

JUST TAKE A SHOWER… that’s what I’d say.

Perfect example for how narrow the streets are in Japan – this is actually a TWO LANE street.

Finally stopped for lunch – walked into a small store around the temple and trying to figure out the menu…
