Europe


Our first encounter with Europe was in 2009 when Dear had to attend a conference. This trip was a rather short one, mainly visiting London city itself and its nearby like Bath, Windsor and Stonehenge.
It was brief but an interesting experience walking the London Bridge and visiting Sherlock Holmes Museum.

Japan

1) If there is one place I have to visit again and again, that is defnitely Japan. The food. The people. The scenery. The culture. The animals. The hospitality. I cant emphasize more indeed.
A maiden trip to Japan covering places like Nagano to see snow monkeys and experience Christmas and New Year Eve at Tokyo in Dec 2010 left me yearning for more adventures in this wonderful country.
