" slurrrrrrrp..."

.

.

...Anyone watched this funny movie clip before?

It's from the 1992 'Mr Baseball' starring Tom Selleck.  

Yes, the Japanese do slurp their noodles here, but keep in mind... 

this Hollywood clip exaggerates it of course, for more dramatic effect!

Anywayyy...

My colleagues here in Tokyo, took me to this Noodle Place for lunch recently.

I had the delicious Japanese noodle/Ramen in Miso base soup.

Yup, it's so true...I heard a lot of slurping going on in that tiny noodle place!

From what I was told, slurping is really encouraged here in Japan. 

It is actually a good sign for how much you appreciate and enjoy the food.  

.

" slurrrrp...
...slu-slurp ...slurrrrrrrrrp ! "
[ I am definitely a fast learner! ]
.

A bowl of hot noodle was a perfect meal 
on a cold winter day...so comforting ~YUM!

Night & Day...or should I say Day & Night?!

The street along Omotesando in Tokyo is quite 'Blehhh...' during the day.

But it's absolutely a different scene at night... It comes Alive!!

Perfect time for another photo opportunity to share ~click-click-clicked*

.

Feast to my eyes! 

Must be millionsss...of LED lights!!

.

Omotesando is a popular street and local neighborhood of Tokyo.

Perfect venue for people watching too!

In addition, it is a shopping districts where hundreds of high end and 

affordable shops exist side by side, we can find museums and galleries as well.

The entire street is lined with tall Zelkova trees adorned with lights this season!

.

...Dazzling, aren't they?

Certainly set up to fill many hearts with more Christmas Cheers!

...Ready?? Just a few more days till Christmas everyone!!

~XOXO*

"Guess What everybody..."

This year, I won't be singing the above Christmas Carol!
Cos' I simply must extend my stay here in Japan. 
Yup, continue to work I simply must!

Tokyo is actually an amazing place to be during this festive season~
I spent late afternoon in this place:
