I have a little secret-- I can speak, read and write basic Japanese (nax). Well speak like a 3yr old Japanese that is!-- haha. I took Nihongo a while back, its cool , I can actually read the characters when I'm there. Looking forward to good eats, as there are NO bad meals in Japan. Also gettin my Uniqlo fix and I can check out the H&M Versace collection yaay!

nihon ni mata ashita!

India part 2

Next to the Taj-- this was  unforgettable --such a Nat Geo  experience

The outer appearance of the Fort, being rough and craggy is totally different from its inside. The interior of the Fort has a warm ambience, which is the opposite of its outer appearance. The marvelous decoration of the Amer Fort is influenced by both, the Hindu and Muslim style built in the 1500's
