Rainbow Bridge

I was surprised.. i didn’t show you a picture of the Rainbow Bridge.  It named because of its changing nighttime lights, Rainbow Bridge spans the bay from Minato-ku to Odaiba one of Tokyo’s premier wining and dining areas.

Construction started in 1987 and was completed in 1993, the bridge is 798 metres (2,618 ft) long with a main span of 580 metres (1,903 ft).  The towers supporting the bridge are white in color, designed to harmonize with the skyline of central Tokyo seen from Odaiba. There are lamps placed on the wires supporting the bridge, which are illuminated into three different colors, red, white and green every night using solar energy obtained during the day.

Japanese Festival

The Japanese has lots of festivals - and one has gotta love them - because they are so elaborate, colorful and bright.  It’s like a pastime to them - hahah!

If you love the crowd.. and love all the street food you can get .. and the trinkets.. this is the place to be.  People are relatively friendly.. and they just love showing you around and explaining things to you .. if you find someone who speaks in English.

Look at those amazing lights right..? don’t forget to get your good luck charms while you are there.

Christmas In Japan

I’ve been often asked about a lot of things that seems different to the West - I sometimes feel that they think we are backwards.. or something along those lines.  Many had asked if we celebrated Christmas in Asia…  or if there are insurance for the Asians like those from carinsurancelist.com .  A wee bit funny at first .. but that goes to show how little the people in this part knows about the people in Asia.. and their Culture.

This is a scene on the street of Japan.. and they are very much lighted up .. in public street and not just homes like we have here.  Christmas is not just a religion in most part of the world.. so why does the westerners think that we don’t celebrate Christmas in Asia… is beyond my understanding.  So if you are reading this.. and wondering the same question.. well, here it is..  we do celebrate Christmas in most part of Asia.

Designer Macaroons In Japan

We all know that everything in Japan is designer - my g/f is right now in Kyoto and she sent these pictures to me about Pierre Hermes sweets.  And here I am doing diet pill reviews while she is enjoying herself .. blah.. !   Pure torture..!! hahhaha!!! but really ..!! these macaroons are heavenly!

We all know that Pierre Herme is a french patissier and these lovely looking miniatures are very delicious.. in fact delicious does not describe it.  In fact, I hear that this boutique was the first here in Japan and not in Paris.  I guess he knows that the Japanese appreciates not only good food but beautiful ones too.  So if you are in Tokyo .. make sure you look out for Pierre Hermes macaroons.
