Photos from our Japan trip - October 2009


Finally  got around to collecting my favourites from the trip. Overall, we enjoyed our time at Hokkaido the most, because there were just tonnes of fresh and delicious sashimi.

Osaka- we think it was OK, but probably once is enough. The city is a bit too busy to our liking, and shopping wise- I still prefer Hong Kong's... particularly given my lack of knowledge of the Japanese language...

Kyoto was great... fascinating to see the different shrines... but again (for hubby and I), once we've seen 1 or 2, the rest are pretty much the same.

Our best memory of Kyoto is probably our stay at the Westin Hotel... Ooo.... we luvv their Heavenly Bed, they are SUPER COMFIE and totally live up to its name. The hotel do sell the mattress, ensemble and manchester etc... from the Australian price list, just the ensemble will cost you $3,500.... and if you get matching pillow, sheets, doona etc, add another $1,000 to that. I personally think it's worth the bucks, cos the mattress is just divine (and once you get the mattress, you might as well go the full length with the matching accessories)...

Too bad our mattress is brand new, and will have at least another 10 years of life, if not more.....
