One more day to my birthday!! K and I had such a long long day yesterday that we overslept today. We were supposed to wake up at 8am to go to Nara, but woke up at 10am instead.
We had our first Takoyaki (octopus balls) yesterday night at this little restaurant specializing in Takoyaki and Okonomiyaki (pancakes). We got to make our own Takoyaki! I thought that was soo cool. It seems so easy, but when i tried to do it, i find it so challenging! Not easy to make the mixture into little balls.. In the end i asked the waiter to help me.. haha..
Just came back to the hotel and using the hotel lobby laptop again to blog. K and I went to so many places today. First, we took a 45 min train ride to Nara and explored the different temples and shrines at the Nara Park. We also got to see the famous deer of Nara. Took so many photos of the deers roaming freely around the park. There were also many kids and little babies chasing after the deers. Bria would have loved it so much!
After Nara, we headed back to Namba for more shopping and food. Bought some clothes from H&M for myself, some very kawaii childrens socks for Bria and Hikaru, and a big and very pretty Mickey Mouse jewellery box for myself to put my earrings, hairbands and stuff. Told K that this will be my birthday present.. = )
Then to end the day, we shared a delicious bowl of soy sauce ramen. Overall, today has been quite an enjoyable experience.. = )
I will officially turn 29 tomorrow, dont know whether to be happy or sad.. haha.. One year older, one year wiser?
