Not the same sort of break Ojiisan had in Shibuya the other day but i`m taking a break.
I`m heading to Hiroshima and Kyoto all next week with my parents who arrive in Japan Friday morning early doors.

I`m going to be strapped for time from here on out, and in any case, i can do with a break from the internet.
You can expect me to come back online with a heap of photos and stories to tell sometime around the 6th of April.
Until then, enjoy whatever it is you`re doing … i know i will be.
I live by a few simple mantras, 1 of them being “hot day cold food, cold day hot food”.
That being said this winter i`ve scoffed down my fair share of ramen and if i had to narrow it down to a top 3 then Tantanmen at Kohmen Ramen would be in it.

Up until a fortnight ago i`d only known of 2 shops, both a train ride from home …. that was untl i walked home a new direction and found a shop on route.
I’d seen this cat getting around on his bike several times over the last few weeks but it was only last Sunday in Harajuku that i was able to hit him up for a photo.
I tried to take the first one semi discretely but he was on to me right away.

Then he beckoned me over for a few photos with my camera and with his.
