Where in the World–Episode 2

Aren’t you all so smart? Yes, Location #1 was Singapore, and Location #2 was Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Bravo!

La Vie en Rose

Happy Valentine’s Day! Fuji-san has been showing it’s pretty face all day long, from the time I got up right up until sunset: If that doesn’t give a day good juju, then I don’t know what does. Right outside of our building, a flowering bush left this pretty little Valentine for me to find. It […]
