Happy New Year

I hope 2019 came with bringing smiles and peace to you.

I took a flight to Japan on 30th of Dec at night, to spend new years eve and day with family there.  My first week of 2019 was past as fast as giving one blink.

It was certainly short holiday, and despite the fact that it was really cold there (yes it was to me!) that it was in the range of -1 to 10 deg C, I was clear, energetic and had a great time.  I forgot to take photos in many occasions during the stay, but here are some I caught.

I am glad to be back in here, and I will look forward having more sharing and exchanging photos and journals with you ahead!

      Happy new year and thank you Irene! Yes, this was a sort of lucky shot that the silhouette of the aircraft made a great contrast in the golden sky!

      Happy new year and thank you Jane! One of good about Japanese delicacies are to make the dishes very colorful in plate(s)! And each food has meaning what it is, all of which relates to growth, prosperity, and longevity. Glad that you enjoyed the photo! 🙂
