Adeline and I share the car with Bacardi, Whisky, Martini and Mr. Moo (not pictured). We are all en route to two different dog parks. I’m in heaven.

go karting should always be part of a pre-wedding party
The pre-wedding activities were excellent. Go karting was good bonding for the Caribbean-related guests, who Davidson liked to call the J-crew, even though three are not Jamaican. I believe the karts could’ve been a little faster, but we managed to get our hears pumping afterwards with a rousing game of Taboo, where the ladies soundly beat the chest-thumping dudes.
thompson family time at a pre-wedding brunch
The reason we’re in Colorado—Kevin (Davidson’s cousin) and Sara’s wedding. There is a pre-wedding brunch at a swank place with a pretty nice buffet. It was also nice to see some of the Thompson clan again, and here are Nicole, Kevin, Amelia and Davidson. Aw, bonding.
gee, are we in boulder or are we in boulder?

we reach LAX and find that it is disorganized, compared to tokyo and singapore. the lines were so horrendously ill-managed, and full of bad-tempered people. welcome to america?
goodbye tokyo, we will be back
Here are some pictures of Chiyoda streets, where we stayed. I’m more than sad to leave Asia, but it’s now time to get back to reality. Well, almost. Colorado is the last stop. Davidson’s cousin is getting married on Sunday, and we are staying with Adeline, my BFF from kindergarten.
another plug, this time for hotel niwa. which was quite reasonably priced and beautifully decorated
We really enjoyed our stay here. The staff was beyond helpful, and the room was small but perfectly planned.
heart this store cuz their stock of clothes, jewelry and dinnerware is soooo interesting
If ever in Tokyo’s Chiyoda-ku, visit Vekt.
