Big fun in Tokyo
Japan offers endless opportunities for novelty entertainment. We were often entertained at things that weren’t specifically designed to be entertaining, like in women’s hosiery stores and while choosing beverages out of vending machines. But a lot of the entertainment is on-purpose entertainment, too. Here are just a couple of the things we tried: Pachinko. Giant, … Read more
Expovina (and my first sighting as a world-famous blogger)
Fellow blogger Ali and I (and our husbands) spent the afternoon checking out Expovina (see here for a little info in English). In case you missed my post about the spring edition of Expovina, here’s a brief overview of the idea: you pay CHF 15 apiece to get into a giant wine expo, where you … Read more

Japan was a blast, although completely exhausting. Can too many temple visits and too much sushi cause a hangover? Anyway, … Read more

Fugu me!
Our dinner tonight was so fresh, it was literally still moving. Fresh fugu on Vimeo PS – everyone survived the fugu.
Journey into the flowery chocolate jungle
How is it possible that I’ve gone this long without ever writing a post about Swiss chocolate? As we all know, Switzerland is The Land of Chocolate. Its claim to fame amongst the other Lands of Chocolate (Belgium, Germany, Holland, etc.) is that milk chocolate was invented here. Makes sense, given all the milk-producing they … Read more
