I went out walking one mornung in spring πŸŽΌ

‘By the river I went walking
When my troubles came to mind.
But I did not stop for them
And they could not catch up to me.’

This is the breath-taking park at #Arashiyama in #Kyoto Japan. My friends went to find the #monkey πŸ™ˆπŸ™‰πŸ™Špark at the top of the mountain, but I’m not a HUGE fan of monkeys up close – and – personal. So I just walked along the river. This day is one of my most precious memories. The atmosphere just soothes your soul ❀️.

Green Tea Tree

Ok Korea, I Love a good hot cocoa and this mint Chocolate was delish. But WHY add the green tea tree on top?!? Cocoa doesn’t need tea! And I thought it was a mint cookie. . . . it was horrible! Trickery I tell you! But seriously, if you’re in Korea for the #olympics, you gotta try their cafes. They are SO good. Cafe Bene and Angel-N-Us are two of my faves. Fellow #traveler, which coffee shop is your guilty pleasure?

Cherry Blossoms

Art in the temple & gardens of Sanjusangendo & Chishaku-in at the beautiful #Kyoto. Facebook reminded me of this trip in my memories today. I still say, if you could only visit one city in all of #Japan, go to Kyoto. Breathtaking history, culture, art, museums, temples, natures, modern. . . . I ❀️ Kyoto as much as I do Seoul (and that’s saying a lot!)

Inappropriate Art

This was right in front of me at a clothing store. At First, I thought it was a #flower. . . ‘Oh, cute’. Then realized. . . . no those are panties. This is a statue of looking up a woman’s skirt. Exactly what the kids and teenagers walking around need to see in life! It wasn’t even an underwear store!!!

Oh good, Alien 2pac made it

Hmmm. These guys are strange. But it was nice of alien #2pac to stop by. Wonder if he is a popular rapper on three-eyed planet. . . . or is alien 2pac actually a boy-band crooner instead . . . . The questions this little guy raises.

Spicy Snickers

Hot (θΎ£ – la4) and Spicy Red Pepper #Snickers Bars πŸ˜³πŸ˜±πŸ˜¨πŸ˜­πŸ™€πŸ’€. . . . . There’s something just evil in that. It’s wrong. Dark-side esque Destroying the fine reputation of a delicious treat🍫. A sacrilege of the great ambrosia beloved by the gods. A travesty to #chocolate!!!

#Griffyndor Festival! (also know as the #Chinese Spring Festival)

Chinese Spring FestivalπŸ‰ . . . when all of China turns into gryffindor 🦁 house and red and gold colors πŸ‡¨πŸ‡³ rule.

I think Walmart might be secretly connected to Chinese hogwarts. Walk inside and its gryffindor pride
everywhere.

*Personally, I’m a slytherin – which fits, since my Chinese zodiac Animal is the snake 🐍
