Meet up with USK Tokyo

I was traveling to Hong Kong - Mcau - Tokyo in November. And had a chance to meet up with Urban sketcher Tokyo - Tasha and Kumi. It was really pleasure to meet same kind of people who loves sketching in different city. We went to Kamakura which is really nice old town near Tokyo. Unfortunately it was raining, but both girls are really great. We found a little spot that we could keep us dry - under the tree etc! Love their passion and love their sketch.

Yummy Bakery

I still remember that I had my wee little culture shock when I first walked into the "Bakery" in New Zealand. I expected "Bakery" sells lots of kinds of breads just like this sketch. Because it is how "Bakery" means in Japan. Couldn't find lots of breads, but could find yummy pies, slices and donuts (with cream of course). It became my Sunday treat at little mall in Hamilton and it became what "Bakery"means for me in New Zealand. Then I moved to Auckland, found this shop called "Pandoro", they said they sell Italian bread. It remind me of what "Bakery" means in Japan again. Of course I love "Bakery" in NZ...can not live without it now days. At the same time I can not live without this kind of "Bakery" either!

This was my Sunday treat in Auckland. Waiting for my coffee with Croissant. ? Is this Italian?

Shed Five

Shed Five at downtown near Murray's work. Bikes...bikes...bikes...even on the table. I think this is boy's paradise. Yummy coffee and foods. And smiley cute staffs. Great for weekend breakfast.

BIG DRAW at Baresford square

Just off from busy grungy K road. There is  a lovely old building that is used to be fire station. They have really lovely patio inside. I would love to draw from inside.
