Solo traveler in Asakusa

May 13

Cyber Bunny guides a solo traveler from New Zealand, who’s been studying Japanese in Osaka for over a month. She decides to spend the weekend in Tokyo. What a great immersive way to learn Japanese through experience!

Food Sample Making

Lauren chose to create a fake omelette to display in her living room at home.

I don’t know about you, but it’s making me hungry because it looks so real!

What else can you make?

Watch my video here: Which sample food display would you make in Japan?

The omelette is already pre-made, so mix the rice and veggies, add ketchup, then lay it out onto the omelette. You can choose to stick a spoon or a pen. Then decorate the entire thing with ketchup to your liking.

While the fake food is cooking in the oven, we waited downstairs with our iced lattes… then the real thing came out!

Can you guess which one is the real one??

The Japanese Princess Makeover

This isn’t Lauren’s first time wearing a kimono. She did red and pink last year, so this time she chose to wear purple!

It was the weekend of Children’s Day

Let’s take some overly filtered photos!

Here’s how it turned out! Kawaii!

Street Foods in Asakusa

“My favorite Japanese sweets is that powdered thing on mochi…”

Oh you mean Kinako Warabi mochi?

Since we have the best Kinako mochi, I got her 2-in-1 the original Kinako and Matcha Kinako to try.

She LOVED IT! WE ATE IT ALL.

Kameido Shrine to see Wisteria

Since Lauren was studying Japanese, I brought her here to pray for good luck in studying and… to see Wisteria flowers of course. The Wisteria was on its tail end toward late April, but we are glad we got to see it!
