33rd Bangkok Motor Show #2

Photos continue from this automobile show....

Looking at cars is nice, but my true love are bikes! I spent a long time in the motorcycle area...hunting around for the coolest vehicles on two wheels.

Here are some pics for my readers to enjoy...

Honda CBR:



 Off road Honda:

Something for a regular reader...Takaoさん, enjoy that miniskirt! ^_^

Something for another friend -- a Samurai (at the Suzuki booth):

Cool Honda...with a trunk! (was deep enough to store one helmet)


The Kawasaki booth was very busy. I learned that Thai people LOVE Ninjas! These big bikes were on display and were quite popular with the local crowd....

Black Ninja:

Green:

One more Kawasaki:

Yamaha had a racing bike on display, with a special message for Japan:

And a classic, naked style, YA-1! (the very first Yamaha produced bike) ^_^


Yamaha also had some concept bikes on display...both with motors and without. It was really cool to see the (possible?) future of bikes...

Concept bike #1:

This huge bike was kitted up for some serious touring! It looked very cool. I took this photo for a friend who enjoys camping...



Again, too many photos to share in one post. Please visit again. I'll display more photos of cars and sights from the Motor Show. ^_^

Ikuta Ryokuchi Park - Ikuta Rose Garden

Image
Last week, my travel friend took me to a beautiful garden. As roses are in season, it was the perfect time to for our visit, as this park predominately features roses. Located in Kawasaki City, the garden is easily accessible by train from Tokyo. Garden overview, roses from all over the world: To get to the garden, you can catch an express Odakyu train from Shinjuku, going towards Sagami Ono. Get off at Mukogaoka-Yuen station. From there, walk straight until you see the sign that reads "Bara Road" (bara = rose in Japanese). This road, filled with roses, will lead to you to the park itself. Be warned -- there is a very long, steep, uphill climb to the park's entrance. For those coming by wheelchair, or needing assistance, the front gate staff will escort you to a van and drive you. That service is completely free.  Statue stands over the "Royal Court" of roses; Roses  from English, Holland, France and Japan. This rose garden is run by a group ...

Cooking Japanese

Image
I've been trying to cook some of my favorite dishes from my time in Japan...I guess I miss the taste of my second home.^_^ A friend recommended I try "Omurice" which means: omelet/rice. It's very easy... 1. Make rice. ^_^ // Fry up chicken (in my case, I used sausages), green pepper, onion and whatever else you like to put in an omelet. 2. After the rice is cooked, add ketchup and mix. Add the ketchup/rice to the chicken/veggie mix and stir-fry. [My German friend was really funny when I told her this recipe: "Ketchup?? With rice?!?! Ew!"] (laugh) 3. Make an omelet. Add the rice/stir-fry mix to the middle. Fold around the edges. **Hard part!** 4. Flip the entire thing over onto a plate. It took all my concentration, and I gave myself a little pep talk before the actual "flip". But, success! I did it! Yay! ^_^/ **Bonus** Today is Tanabata in Japan. This translates to "Star Festival". You can read/ see pictures about this special day HERE . ...

Melt Me Cafe

Image
I researched to find the *best* gelato in Bangkok, and this shop: Melt Me , in Thong Lo, was the winner. The gelato case (click to see more detail): I headed over on a Saturday to treat myself. The shop features not only wonderful flavors of gelato, but also handmade chocolates and milk from Hokkaido, the northern island of Japan. Drinks, cakes and other sweets are also available. The chocolate display case: Handmade chocolate selections: I know I'm a pig for eating too many chocolates, but you don't have to rub it in!!! Customers can test taste the gelato before purchasing. Two flavors in a small cup costs only 99 Baht. (=$2.27 CAD/ 227 JPY). My picks: vanilla and forest berry My huge iced coffee: The theme inside is based on "Alice in Wonderland", with one large "tea party table" featured in the center of the shop. It's bright and sunny, and the perfect place to take a rest, enjoy some Italian gelato, and people watch. The tea table: Counter top guys: ...
