my japan. [o].

[o] obachan

 

there is something about obachan (little old japanese ladies). that i love. and h-kun's obaachan (grandma) is no exception. look at her. eighty seven years old and still going strong. and full of so many stories. and traditional ways. and her eyes light up when we unexpectedly stop by to say hello. i will miss her. sweet obaachan.

[o] okashi

 

snacks. oh, i love japanese okashi. one of the most traditional snacks is senbei. rice crackers. they come in all shapes, sizes. and flavours. a new favorite of mine is ume senbei. oishii. but that's not the only snack i love. i could make a very long list. chocolate mushrooms. the little panda cookies. garbo. pretz. in many flavors. those muji almond cookies. a little pocky. the little strawberry chocolates. oishii. okay. i'll stop now. before i convince myself to go and buy some more. dang it.

we're lucky that we have real canadian superstore which carries some well known japanese snacks. but when i can't find something there i hit up www.jlist.com
shipping to canada isn't that bad and they carry loads of stuff.

Just wanted to say that I found your blog this past fall. I've been a regular reader since. Your stories affirm my great desire to travel to Japan one day and I too will miss it once you leave. :( Sounds like you had a great roll there though. I hope you continue to blog once you return to Canada. Have a safe journey and enjoy the ride my dear.

She looks so sweet, I love watching the older women in any of the countries we travel to.

I am with you on little old women. They are strong, but she does not look 87! I think part of her secret to staying young is on her head. I think I should use that idea so I am not a prune by the time I am 50.

Histories make men wise ; poems witty; the mathematics subtle; natural philosophy deep ; moral grave ; logic and rhetoric able to contend .
