The apartment we are in is attached to a hotel where a music hall in which the first performance of Handel‘s Messiah was held in 1742 used to be.

Breakfast in the hotel restaurant for the first morning. Note the theatre chairs.
Woohoo! “Golden Week” 2015 begins!
Off to Dublin, Ireland via Paris, France (an Air France transit). The first flight is at 7:30 am, way too early for my liking but can’t be complaining for having the next eight days off.
My new (Irish) nails. ^^
Music!!
Movies!!
I loved Chef and The Theory of Everything and Dior and I was very interesting but this Chinese film was the most memorable if mostly for excellence in Gong Li‘s acting.
I was going to do a sushi post but remembered that there was a notable non-sushi Japanese dining I did with a London-residing Australian guest this month so decided to expand.
But first the real-deal sushi.
And then an upscale izakaya dinner with the aforementioned Australian guest.
And an unagi lunch from last week.
And a sushi lunch from earlier today.
Finally a take-away “obento” lunch box that I bought at a “depachika” near my office in the morning and had at my desk for lunch. Always fun.
Though the month has not ended yet, I think I have had my share of soft-served ice creams for April, 2015.
Fresh strawberries though pre-frozen mixed into the ice cream
Milk-flavored
Milk with cassis jam from Aomori
Mikan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citrus_unshiu) flavored, Rather bitter but full of citrus flavor.
Intricate design! on the cone.
