Breakfast and Lunch

Hi friends,

It took nearly two weeks for me to recover from jet lag. I think I have started functioning in BST. It was not a good idea to travel Germany soon after coming back from Japan but there are things need to be done.

The aeroplane to Stuttgart was 40 minutes late and we were informed it was because of the havoc French airport staff was causing. It seems they were on industrial action again and quite few European airports were suffering from delays and changes.

The company I visited has got a French engineer and when I complained about his home country’s “seasonal event”, he told me that all university students in France are involved in strikes a couple of times whilst they are at universities.

“We fight for what we believe. It is important. It is about principle.”
He told me with his gorgeous French accent.
“What did you fight for?”
“Eh….I cannot remember now but I was involved in the important strike 3 times.”

Yeah, yeah, it must be that important!! !

Anyway, my usual notification to friends that I am still alive…..my breakfast and lunch in these days.

Night Cruising in Kobe

Hi friends,

Hope you are doing well. I came back from Japan on 14th. It was simply fantastic but really hot and humid. When I flew from Birmingham, it was around 15 degree Celsius. It was 35 degree in Osaka and the humidity was well over 75%! I thought I would faint…

Here are some snaps from the night cruising in Kobe.

My beloved city, Kobe, has the most stylish department store in the world. Kobe Daimaru is my paradise. I could happily live there ever after even without Prince Charming. 

When we are surrounded by those fabulous shoes, handbags, scarves, and other gorgeous stuff, who needs a prince? He will stand right next to you, whinging that you already have similar 300 handbags sitting in your closet. Nope, I only need his platinum credit card.

Kobe is also the world renowned place for cakes. They are divine art in heaven.

The sad thing is, as I was totally fascinated with the air there, I completely forgot to take photos of them!!  How silly of me!  Daaahh!

Anyway my dear ladies, guess who was with me on the cruise boat? As I am fully loaded with the latest gossip, we have to get together soon, don’t we?
