While browsing through Airbnb listing for Tokyo this morning, I came across some interesting listings. The above listing is in Tokyo. $25 per night for a completely unfinished unit, what a deal! Fuzzy photo of umbrellas is not really selling…
First Home Cooked Meal
I miss cooking. Have not puttered around the kitchen for more than a month and I really miss it. Plus we need a break from eating out. We had planned to make the spicy vermicelli dish from Delicious One but…
