Coco curry in HK?

There is a Coco Currys here in Hong Kong!! I have to find it and see if it is the same as the ones in Japan. As soon as I find it I will post all about it. I am so excited!!

JUSCO Part One

A new meaning to JUSCO. In Japan  JUSCO were more like department stores or similar to Wal mart/ Target. But here in  HK they are similar to 100 yen store or a step up from a dollar general store.

This JUSCO is located in Causeway Bay .  I will post morr information about JUSCO another day

Things I like about Japan

"The abstract beauty of Japanese art issues from the abstract beauty of their lives. They do not like clutter, they like to look at one flower at a time, one painting, one pot." - Anais Nin : http://koti.mbnet.fi/neptunia/world/japan1.htm

Japan - Tokyo > Ueno area

" Cherry, cherry cherry trees begin to bloom, and bloom is over -- in the park where nothing (it seems) ever happened."  (Resitated at Poetry Forum Japan : Machi Tawara at japan Society Thursday, June 1, 2000) http://www.gtpweb.net/twr/ny3.html

If I miss anything right now, I am missing Japan's cherry blossom season. If you are visiting Japan for a short time during March and April you really need to go to the Ueno area. Walk around the area, hit the zoo then finish off with the Science Museum. There is a Ueno train station; which makes it easier to fine the place.


Ueno Area has the Tokyo zoo and AWESOME science Museum. Ueno is the cultural area of Tokyo; well that's what I was told. When I lived in Japan, Ueno was one of my favorite places to visit. Once I went and watched a punk out, all girl Japanese band play polka music. Another time I watched a man strip down to his underwear and stand on a box-For the love of Art. He disappeared very quickly.


One of things Ueno is famous for is the Cherry blossoms. The whole area is covered in these glorious trees. When the wind blows the blossoms look like pink snowflakes flutter down around you. The only problem is every tourist and half of Japan’s population will be there with you. But it is something you need to do once and take lots of photos.


Address: 5-20 Ueno Koen Taito-ku, Tokyo Information: 03-3828-5644  Access: Ueno Station
Cherry Blossom Season: Late March - Early April
Cherry Blossom Festival: March 20 - April 4, 2010 (*Light-up Time: 5:30 p.m.- 8 p.m.)
