The last months of the year to travel took me back to my favorite destinations: Japan and Hong Kong. In the fall, I went to Tokyo and a quick layover in Hong Kong. Then, this coming Christmas, it will be Osaka and celebrations in Hong Kong!
Every trip to Japan (and there a few each year) includes going back to our favorite restaurants and trying something new. This past fall, the something new was wine tasting near Mt. Fuji in Yamanashi, the best-known wine region in the country.
Then back in Tokyo, I went back to Kappabashi Kitchen Street to spend more time there to look at more of the kitchen-related products. It’s overwhelming!
And the year is not yet over! There is still the Christmas holiday travel coming up. This year, we are heading back to Japan – this time back to Osaka which is a more family-friendly Japanese city.
Then, it’s Christmas in Hong Kong. The city transforms into a winter wonderland with the Christmas spirit overflowing in the malls, hotels, and the evening light shows. For the best Christmas celebrations, book a stay or a meal at the Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong – they really know how to make everyone love the Christmas season.
