Goodbye 2008...





HELLO 2009!!!





Ahh... the year end break was indeed a pleasant one...

We managed to go to quite a few places that i have always wanted to visit but dared not to venture on my own because of my amazing non existant map reading ability.

this was Asakusa...

a very traditional town... filled with many traditional snack shops too...

fried manju (fried red bean bun)lunch at a super old soba restaurant, and i think this has been on the menu for dont know how many years
Dinner at Tsukishima, a town filled with many monjayaki restaurants
Eaten straight off the hot plate... phoooEnded off with a walk at Roppongi which is still decorated with winter illumination.

Thats Tokyo tower at the back



This was udon lunch at home a few days ago topped with new year kamaboko
