"Bears love honey and I'm a Pooh Bear." - Winnie the Pooh


finally. winnie the pooh ride. everyone sit inside a honey pot and off we go!


this is one of the best rides there. actually should shoot video.. but then again, some things are best experience yourself rather than looking at video...


haunted house.... actually its the nightmare before christmas theme one...

its a small world after all... but while small, there are so many people.... definitely need 2 days instead of one.. cos 1/3 of your time is spent queueing...

the famous gate/door at 浅草...

Tokyo 081226


went 箱根町 to soak in onsen and see 富士山. had lunch in a very cozy little eatery.


fresh strawberries. cheap and sweeeeet


very lucky today to have clear weather. i suspect the blue tint of the mountain is due to the uv reflected from the dust particles...


富士山 from 芦ノ湖 @ 箱根
