The bonus

we have two days left in Japan
14days we are here.
short but oh so sweet.
the whole time before getting here to Japan I never really thought we were coming here.
Once here I, we, have felt so incredibly blessed.
Levis brother and his family have showing us what true hospitality is.
the kind that has changed Levi and my minds about New Zealand's hospitality, or may i say lack of.
family times have really been the best thing for us at the moment,
it has increased our excitement return to NZ for some family and friend catch ups.
 over all the time here has truly felt like a bonus to our trip from Europe.
we have visited some beautiful places with perfect family and eaten some of the fastest foods.
the main thing i have learnt is to say is 'Thank you',
because truly its all i am, that is, thankful..

  1. So cool that you have been to Hiroshima, Miyajima. Kyoto. I was profoundly moved by my visit to these places and grateful too for the generosity of Aaron and Sayuri in showing me these places. Youa r so right about the service in Japan. It is exceptional and in New Zealand it is completely lacking. Unless you go to a restaurant that is staffed by foreigners...
