We were looking at our server and she was looking at us – and we all realised that she was the same server in Tei An!  🙂  She part times in Tei An and her main job is in Nobu.  We like both 🙂

I liked our second time better than the first 🙂

I am always checking out the restrooms in restaurants – I love the fun ones 🙂

What I liked in the bathroom was the toilet!!!  At first I did not want to enter and was wondering why they would put glass on the door!!!  Then I thought again that they would not do this so I just entered and tried to experiment and true enough as soon as you lock the door, the glass gets frosted!  AMAZING!!! Only the Japanese can think of these things!!

In the toilet of American Girl, there is a hook to hang your doll! 🙂

Pecan Lodge

James wanted to find out why this place was in one of the top ten in Dallas!  So we went to the Dallas Farmer’s market.  After all we are in Texas and we want to try their BBQ 🙂

We went early because we read about the long lines and true enough there was already a line before opening time.  There are two lines, the one in front are for people who ordered in advance and are picking up, for people ordering

There’s James at the end of the line.  This is the only stall in the market thats busy!

Because we did not want to line up again we just ordered whatever! 🙂  and we were so hungry already 🙂

We are not expert bbq eaters, so we can’t tell if this is really the best but it was good 🙂  James wanted the burnt ends, but they ran out in just a few minutes after opening

Loved this resto bar in Dallas!!!

The only thing with restos that are also bars is that it’s dark and noisy!  Yes I am old! 🙂  But love the interiors of this place

Servers in uniform!  Preppie 🙂

We shared everything we ordered and loved it!! Since it was dark, the photos are blurred ( H2H refuses to use flash ).  Please bear with me, hopefully with my new camera photos will be better

Packing Cubes

By | Household Tips, Travel | No Comments

Heart2Heart loves packing cubes!  They make packing and unpacking simpler.  They also organise the things in a manner that you can understand and help you find things easier.  The beauty of it is as soon as you arrive in your destination, just pull them out of the luggage and then put them in the closet and drawers.  Unpacking done in one minute 🙂

I bought these in Daiso ( 100 yen shop ) in Harajuku, Tokyo.  I like it because it is PINK :-), very light and it is mesh.  P 45.00 for this set of 2 🙂  Some packing cubes are very bulky and heavy that when you put them all in a luggage, they can reach up to 5 to 10 pounds already and will take up your baggage allowance and we don’t want that! 🙂
