This won’t make sense to you unless you know my full name in Cantonese.

This won’t make sense to you unless you understand Cantonese. The lyrics roughly translates to “There is a sheep by the river and it looks like you.”

- Chicken couldn’t enunciate the very last word in the song, but I think it can now.
- As you can tell from this vid, Chicken can’t sing.
- Cantonese is so hard to learn, even by a parrot. It takes a lot of effort for Chicken to say each word.

Global TV Weather News
April 24, 2008.

I was told I won the first prize and my photo will be shown on Global that evening. No mention of when and how to claim the prize.

I honestly think the runner-ups were better. Lucky I didn’t go to UBC Nitobe Garden for my shot.

A lot of people asked who gets to go to Tokyo with me. Many of them even skipped the congratulations part. Guess who’s not going to Tokyo?

Alex asked if I have to use the tickets at the same time. If not, then I can go twice. I thought that was hilarious yet mind provoking.

The craziest and most guilty thing I did in 2007 was visiting Japan too many times, so here is another belated back-from-Tokyo post.

All Star Don @ 若狭屋 Wakasa-ya
I first learned about this seafood-don chain restaurant from some random TV show uploaded to YouTube. I could not Google for the address because I didn’t know how to say the Kanji name. I was lucky enough to find one when I went to Ueno.
You can order a la carte, or if you are like me and don’t speak Japanese, you can go for the “All Star Don”.

All Star Don @ Wakasa-ya

Wakasa-ya is nationwide, despite the fact that they don’t have a website. Here is the one I went to:

Satou Steak House
I went there for menchi-katsu last time, so I knew they got some good beef there.

Satou Lunch

Magical Pudding @ Ko-men

Magical Pudding

They used to call this "The Best Pudding in History", but they changed the name to "Magical Pudding" recently. This pudding is the signature dish of this chain ramen restaurant. It really is the best pudding I have had and I go there every time I visit Japan.

Assorted video footage. Enjoy!

The trip was sponsored by Larry’s generous accommodation. More photos here. I also made a day trip to Hakone (photos).
