Writer’s Workshop- Visiting Japan
Japan- The land of the rising sun is a country which I would like to visit someday. Unfortunately it’s not within our travel plans for this year.

The boys have been dreaming about the land of sushi and udon since they have been introduced to Japanese cuisine at a tender age. In fact, if I remember clearly, chawanmushi was the 1st Japanese food which they have tasted. The steamed egg being soft and similar to the puree vegetables which I made them was very palatable. They enjoyed the taste and still enjoy eating it now.

Thomasland, Hello Kitty land would be some of the places which we will certainly visit. The kids will go ballistic seeing the favourite train engines while I can relieve my childhood days with my favourite Sanrio characters at Hello Kitty land.Hubs will certainly love indulging in the Japanese anime and soaking in the culture and food.
It’s unfortunate that we have to put our trip to Japan on hold due to the recent earthquake and nuclear disaster that occurred earlier on in the year. The place is still reeling from the damage which mother nature has caused and not yet totally free from radiation. We could still visit Hokkaido which is further up north but that would mean the boys would have to give Thomasland a miss as it is near Tokyo.
I’m sure that they wouldn’t miss it that much as we will be traveling to more places instead this year. We just went to Penang, Malaysia and would be traveling back to Hong Kong later this year. Maybe if there is some spare cash we will be able to throw in additional trips to Thailand and Taiwan also . ( How does that sound?? *wink*)
Where are you thinking of visiting this holidays?

I’m just finishing up a road trip to the west coast. That’s about as exotic as I get!

I’d love to visit Asia someday. For now, the farthest I’ll make it this year will be to California (but I also visited Charleston a week ago, so I will have touched the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans in one summer!)

I have made two brief visits to Japan and it is such a lovely country – clean, pretty, wonderful food, treasures to cherish and remember the rest of your life. I was so saddened by the tsunami and earthquake and pray that this wonderful country and its courageous people heal and recover.

This felt like such an exotic stop to me. I love reading about the different foods you enjoy!
We have friends that go to Japan every few years and adore it. I’ve never been!
Thanks for letting us tag along on this little journey with you.
