My 5-part Tokyo travelogue is still getting the most number of visits and search hits in the blog (thank you!), and this made me realize that I left one more good stuff to share about that trip - the shopping and my shopping finds! First off, I didn't shop much. I enjoyed the window shopping, though hehe! In doing so, I was able to compare prices of the Uniqlo and Muji ... READ MORE
Exploring Tokyo, the DIY Way (Day 3)
Our 3rd day in Tokyo (a Saturday) was spent at Hakone, a mountainous area west of Tokyo that is also at the foot of the magnificent Mount Fuji. The initial plan was to book a day tour package through Japanican.com but after reading about the Hakone Free Pass at 2AussieTravellers.com , AJ and I decided to take the ‘road less travelled’ and do a DIY trip all the way! Hakone ... READ MORE

The World of Toyota (Part 1)
Note: It's the hubby's turn to write something for The Bright Spot =) For the longest time, I've been prodding him to start a blog because not only does he writes too well, but he can talk about anything you throw at him: be it about computers, cars, books, video games, movies or food - he'll always have something to share! Also, his "hirits" are priceless! I'm ... READ MORE
