Robins Japan

The holiday is nearly done, we are busy with meeting many people and still im learning new things. For example Hoppy (ホッピー ) . We were at Yakiniku with old colleagues of my wife where I discovered that little bit unusual drink for me.

So once in a life a nice thing but for me nothing more. Back in tokyo we had our one year dating anniversary and we were back in yokohama. We tried out the yokohama land mark tower and damn that was a good choice! I really recommend that. We got up before it gets dark around 18:30 or so.
