I Stopped At...

29/04/2010 It was a Showa s day and a national holiday in Japan. My friend decided on a fast day out and the spot was the aquarium of Shinagawa. It is not at all a big aquarium but a beautiful spot for a day out with  a nice lake. I loved the area the first time I saw it, a huge contrast among the busy city of Shinagawa, Tokyo. This is not the best of the aquarium but yet there is always something to enjoy. It was a small aquarium but I loved the Dolphin show. Of course there were better shows in Hakkeijima  and other aquariums but still it was fun to watch.There were two dolphins performing, one male and one female. They were cute, big and so chubby. They performed several tricks, simple but yet cute. Let me share the moments with you...!!! jumping over the rod which is nearly 2 meters above the water level Playing with the ring Playing Catch  the Ball with the trainer Riding the board - surf riding???

09/04/2010 I always feel blessed to witness the beauty of the spring of Japan. It is the revival of earth, human and everything you can imagine of. The main attraction of the spring in Japan unarguably  is Sakura. The beauty of sakura trees dressed in pink and falling pink petals cools your soul. No wonder Sakura has become the Japans national flower. Hope it becomes the flower of the earth one day. These are some shots I managed to while I was walking in my campus premises. The university premises where I study is  full of all types of Sakura and it becomes a treat to the eye when it comes to the spring. Enjoy!!!! Click on the pictures for a better view.

16-21/02/2010 Thai Food!!!!! Since I spent five days in Thailand , it was confirmed that Thai food will be a favorite food of mine forever. It is close to the Sri Lankan taste, yet hotter and sweeter. I decided to post about the Thai food since I first ate it in Thailand. Of course , this was not my first  time I`m having Thai food. I have been to Thai restaurants several times in Japan, but it is different when you eat the original food in its original hotness in Thailand. 1st Day I was too much in to eating on the first day, that I completely forgot about taking photos. That night it suddenly hit me that it was unjust to ignore Thai Food in my blog in all its means. So from the next day onwards, my camera was the first to catch the first glimpse of the meals once they were served. 2nd Day Lunch                    Boiled prawns with a sweet pastry cover  and Fish fried with some green leaves                                                Ostrich Meat tempered

20/02/2010  This was the day at the sea. Pattaya was a good tourist spot, cool ,wet, hot and everything in all it meanings. I loved all its beaches and sceneries. It was too hot in the Ko Lan and the calm sea was most welcoming. Check out these photos for the slightest impression of Ko Lan, an island in theThai bay at Patthaya city. But I recommend you  to visit  the place for the flavor, if you know what I mean. All Rights Reserved.

19/02/2010 3rd day in Thailand was to be a day that can be never forgotten. We were in for a motor boat ride in the famous canals with shops floating on either side.  I have never seen such a market before and was planning to take the best out of it.The market opens at 7.30 in the morning and surprisingly, closes at exactly one o`clock in the afternoon. They run it longer on Saturdays it seems and we had to hurry up because we were in for a weekday ride. It is a paradise of souvenirs and land of tourists. The whole world comes under one roof gathered on either side of the canal watching the market float by. You can enjoy the shopping from the banks to cool your mind or so many things to see to soothe your eyes or else get something for your stomachs. It has everything under the roof but with varying prices depending on the country they are from.        We took a motor boat for 500 Bhats for one round trip of one hour in the canals. You can choose between mo
