Spring greeting from Kyoto, Hiroshima and Kurashiki

I think I have the most active spring in Japan this year (not so active in blogging though). My friends came to Japan recently and we went to visit many places in Osaka, Kyoto and Hiroshima. Just found that I'm actually keeping so many photos but not posting them. So now thinking to categorize them, pick some of it and post it here and see whether it could give you some clues of what to eat and where to go when u visit Japan.

These are some of the spring flower photos that I took at different places. Love spring the most among 4 seasons.  Many signs of spring already on their ways.

Zero plan Busan GO ! (釜山行) Last part

Just found that my last post about my Busan trip was still save as a draft after more than a year.
It makes me wanna visit Busan again, here it is: 

Last day in Busan, just had few hours left before departure to Fukuoka. In the morning, went out to hunt for my breakfast.
 Nampodong street.
 Found the breakfast shop that I was looking for, the Shin Chan toast.
When I go travelling, I would try to do and eat something as "local" as possible.
It's not a very typical Korean breakfast like kelp soup, kimchi, rice, some meat dish, various banchan etc...
The toast was buttered and toasted, ham, cheese and fried egg and centered in between the bread.
 Same ingredients, but there's a nuance in its taste from the sandwich I had before.
 It tasted really good!
The soup was like made from soy milk plus other grains and a bit thick, I didn't really know what exactly added inside, I felt "healthy" after having this, hah
There's Japanese written on the menu and many local people are in the shop too.
If you happen to come to Busan, may be you can try this.
 The shop is close to Jagalchi station, 5 minutes walk.
  Spotted another popular street food at BIFF square (Busan international film festival square) also close to Jagalchi snd Nampodong. Many people surrounded this food vendor.
Looking at the Japanese words, I could guess it is something like fried sticky rice cake. After checking the dictionary, 씨앗 (ssiat) means seeds and 호떡 (hotteok) means pancake in Korea and 찹쌀( chapssal) means glutinous rice. 
So, may be we can call it as sweet sticky rice seed pancake (chapssal ssiat hotteok), hah
  Stuffed with flower seeds and nuts, it tasted sweet and with fragrance of cinnamon. Recommend !
And, it's time to leave, went back to the Busan ferry terminal.
Used up all my remainings money at the duty free shop, hah. 
The trip was a bit short, wasnt able to visit some other place in Busan.
If you have no idea of what to buy for souvenir, I think Market O Real Brownies is a good choice! It tasted really good. some people also recommend to chuck it into the oven, bake it a while and serve it immediately, may taste like a real baked brownies.
Also bought this at a local supermarket.

Halloween at Tokyo Disneyland (東京迪士尼萬聖節)

Thinking to share some photos of Halloween at the Tokyo Disneyland. I've been meaning to go to Disneyland with Halloween theme. This year Tokyo Disneyland resort celebrates its 30th anniversary too,  there are so many limited edition of Disney goods.
Taken from the back, the pumpkin head
I think as people step in the D land , they will realize why it is said to be the happiest place on earth. Look at the smile! It's everywhere and contagious.
Sully head decoration
Halfway of the parade.
 
 
Halloween popcorn bucket
Not a must, every time I come to Disney I will eat this, tiramisu ice cream, yummy.
The prince and princess were surrounded by people.
Munching on popcorn while waiting for the parade to start. 
The Halloween parade started!
The three little pigs
The night view is even better. 
Around 7pm something, the crowd were gathered at the main street, waiting for another parade.
Electrical parade 
Our last station today, Monster, inc.
Time to leave, we had a great time!


The only thing I bought from the D-land.
The Halloween theme disney was fun, could see many not-so-typical Disney characters, decorations, goods and food.
