Chinese and Lamb and Wine and Birthday

This was a surprise birthday party that my colleague and I hosted for two of our ex-colleagues.  I chose the venue and it was a huge hit: a Chinese restaurant specializing in the cuisine of Northeast China featuring lots of lamb in many different ways, plus mostly organic reasonably-priced wines.

And after all that food and drinking, we moved on to another nearby “standing” bar at which we stood outside the shop and had one more bottle of wine.

It was indeed a happy birthday night.

 

A Tibetan Night Out in Tokyo

A belated report about my eat-the-world-in-Tokyo event from August when we tried a Tibetan restaurant which was full of good food and pleasant service.

My Recent Nails – August and September, 2016

New gel nails for this month and the last.

Soft Served in August, 2016!!

I hadn’t written about this topic due to my travel posts but here I go.

My Icelandic soft serve was, well, nothing to write home about. 😦

Kabosu flavored!! Very nice.

The best green tea soft serve ever.

Farewell Iceland

I had a chance to enjoy the Icelandic touch all over again as I was leaving from the Keflavik International Airport outside of Reykjavik for Tokyo via Paris.

Just after security where you might sit down and tie your shoelaces if you were told to take off your shoes going through the metal detector. Love the color scheme and the bench.

The area after security as seen from the above bench.

Final lunch

At CDG, in transit. Terminal 1 is an unknown territory for me and this long (much longer than as shown) passage seemed very cool.
