Christmas show

Brussels is full of light

And Christmas market with food everywhere!!!!

But the best part is the light show at Grand place

With amazing colors

and music

and the christmas tree was smelling so good!

Just loved it

But why did I pick the only rainy/windy day to watch it????

Training at the Miyagino Beya

Since I know Hokaho, I always go to see his training while I am in Fukuoka

I am always impressed by the flexibility of the sumo

...

Exercises for the warm up

Since he his wearing white he is an higher rank

In this case a Juryo

yeap not always easy...

All kind of exercises and then...

The greatest Yokozuna of all time is coming

So the room get crowed with the press and of course I have the tallest Japanese in front of me!!!

and I have to admit even if I am not a fan he is really impressive

Hokaho waiting for the yokozuna instructions

Hakuho, the yokozuna training, I let you enjoy!

And that's me after the training of course with a cat!!!!

Moomin's Caffe

Moomin is a finish serial very famous in Japan

So I went there with a friend to get all you can get of Moomin :-)

And now they are my new friends :-)

At Arima onsen

This was the signalisation at Arima onsen

I find them so cool

and so funny!

Last days in Tokyo

Day one, my favorite view a bit cloudy

But hopfuly Mongolian restaurant in the evening with Tsuivan, Teftel, banschtetse!
Ahhhhhh

Day two, ah ah looks very sunny!

And to party that Chanko Nabe, very small one :-)

At this great restaurant near Ebisu

And I was so sad because I couldn't see it at all, but then from the plane 15 minutes of pure View, the Fuji San!!!!!!!

Bye bye Japan

Yes little lady now this is time to say goodbye for this year

But before that some christmas illuminations
Japanese people love the little prince

This one is in Fukuoka

That's right

And my favorite for this year

So nice

a christmas tree

Illumination in canal city but I preferred the ones from last year...

I think this is passing pretty good right now

and now back here!!!

onsen onsen onsen!!!

Give me a map and I can go everywhere to find an onsen!

Found it, this ゆ is the symbol of it

after that nothing better than a green milk!

This is one of the oldest onsen in Beppu

And there you can be berried under hot sand for 10 minutes

Like that!
Just love it!

In beppu there is smoke from hot water everywhere!

This is Kurokawa Onsen, just the name is great where I stayed for one night in a ryokan

The city is really pretty

Very traditional with ryokan and onsen everywhere

Old fountain

Still no red leaves but still some red :-)

And this was my pass to go to 3 onsens

And of course I was in Yukata to go there!
Was so nice!

My room

And my telephone, not sure this is still working!

At the dinner room

This is a steam head bath, you just put your face over steamed water

Then go enjoy a great onsen

Or make a walk in the city

And watch some corn drying!

And this ine is an iron bath, one of my favorite
