Yesterday, one parent gave us 3 boxes of Hokkaido cheese cakes. They were a favourite of my children at school, mainly because it is cheese based.
Whilst eating the cheese cake, it actually brought back a lot of memories of my last visit to Hokkaido some years back. I remembered it was July and it coincided with the lavender bloom. The place was lovely - wherever there is lavender, you will see a field of purple. Then there were also other flowers too - rows and rows of them - the colours were so vibrant, it almost looked like coming out of a postcard! Something I would not have been able to see here in Singapore.

Overall, Japan has always been my favourite getaway. It's clean and it's beautiful and nature abounds everywhere you go. The food is superb and most of all, the country is rich in its heritage and offers us lots to see and learn. You can choose to see the Lavender bloom, the Cherry Blossom or just to experience the snow......fantastic! Compared to my Europe trip, I still prefer Japan for the proximity and choices it offers. I must plan another trip next year, after I finish my diploma course. I have picked up a few more photos to show you....
