Oriental

Dad went to his last Sushi class this Saturday and during the week he prepared some delightful sushi for my Mom´s friends and since I visited him I could taste some of his new specialty!
And this week it felt that we were eating , visiting and tasting everything Oriental as you can see on the next pictures.

Close to our house, there´s a chinese Buddhist Temple called Templo Zu Lai with its precise layout and harmonious structure and it is praised for its surrounding tranquil environment.


The next day there would be a great event for the Year of the Dragon , so there is a beautiful one and in ancient China, the celestial Dragon represents an emperor and power. Today, it is the ultimate auspicious symbol of success and happiness.


Now you can see a photo took by my husband who spent one week in Japan, this was taken from the hotel he stayed , on the 40th floor, by night. Isn´t Hamamatsu beautiful?

And he is back after a long week , we missed him so much!

He had some time for shopping and he bought these great magazines and books for me, isn´t he lovely? And some delicious green tea from his Japanese friend.



In Dad´s absence, baby César behaved very well and I can´t tell how much my little girl helped me in everything. She´s learning how to take care of her little brother so well , she´s lovely and kind and very patient with him.

And here is Daddy , welcome back home!!!
Home, sweet , home.

How did you like this "Oriental" week with us? Have a wonderful week and may the celestial Dragon bring great good luck to everyone!

So different from my world, and yet so familiar in all its love. You are such an inspiration for me, Mina! And Daddy is so handsome!
Can you read those magazines? To me, I`d need the pictures. This is one language I`ll never learn. Cheers from an icy cold Germany!

Geli: I´ve learned Japanese language when I was a child but I forgot a lot because I don´t practice but I still can read some words. Warm wishes to you my friend!
