5000 red gates

Grateful for

  1. Seeing the shrine of 5000 red gates – it is quite surreal.
  2. Going shopping again! Oh how we do love to shop.
  3. Having seafood salad, sashimi and soba for dinner. It is a fail safe dinner combo that is always as delicious as the first time we had it.
  4. Having another warm day after a series of very cold ones.
  5. Buying an ink stone to practice calligraphy and sumi-e.
  6. Walking around a lot today raining so no bikes for us.
  7. Warm fuzzy blankets and aircon on high to keep us warm at night.
  8. Watching Surrogates movie. I quite liked it.
  9. Having lots of fruit with movie. One thing seems lacking in Japanese cuisine is the abundance of fruit and veg so I try to keep up my daily intake.
  10. Really feeling the gratitude for having the lifestyle that I have and being able to travel as I do.
