One Good Thing A Day – Project Day 54 – Sakura Season in Toronto
It’s hanami time in Japan and it’s sad that I’m away from Tokyo this year. Luckily, I’m close to High Park where the blossoms were blooming beautifully.
After a morning of writing and work, we decided to head out to enjoy them for our lunch break outdoors.
Our first encounter was my favorite bird with a lovely call:
My favorite: red-winged blackbird
We then followed the path to me this little guy:
By this point, we were very happy and excited to see so many animals -especially after so many years in Tokyo where the wildlife is seriously lacking.
We finally got to the sakura and my excitement filled the air. Certainly not as many trees as Japan but just as beautiful.
One thing we found funny was the majority of the people out snapping shots of the sakura were Asian (>_<)
Quite a few people but again, nothing compared to Japan.
Fun little trackless train that travels through the park. Very fun for the little ones.
We both thought this was fantastic:
After lunch, we sadly had to go back and get a lot of work done….. but before then, we came across a raccoon.
One Good Thing A Day – Project Day 53 – Strange Tokyo Restaurants
I just came across this article that made me think of Tokyo and how crazy it can be compared to Toronto:
I’ve been to the Lockup in Shibuya a couple of times and it’s certainly a place to visit at least once in your travels. It’s a kind of prison/medical/monster theme where the waitresses are dressed in nurse outfits
and guys dressed up as either prisoners or monsters run around the cave restaurant.
Each seating area is in a jail cell with bars and at random times, the main lights go out, strobe lights go on and all chaos begins as the monster/prisoners run around “terrorizing” the customers in the cells.
You can also order drinks that come in test tubes
It’s definitely a “huh?” moment the first time…. but then again…. most things in Tokyo make you say that.
Thank you Japan it Up!
Very BIG thank you to Steve from Japan it UP!
I really appreciate the support *^_^*
