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.
Broke away the Page 2001 show around noon, and met up with Philip and Jamie at a Kaiten-Sushi place in Harajuku… It’s fun (and very tempting) to have freshly made sushi plates flying across your eyes every few seconds… sure makes you hungry.

Where can I find an IKEA when I need one…?

Now you can see how hard it was snowing… nothing compared to US-snow storms, but in any case it was an interesting sight to see.
