Hi Hi!!

I should be posting about my Japan road trip but I had so much fun yesterday that I just had to insert this post while I still remember how much fun I had. Yesterday I got invited to do a toy photography session with autumn theme with a really good friend who does some amazing Pop Vinyl photography - @popfunko_adventures on instagram or you can check our her blog which is a mixture of Pop Vinyl, Music and Adventures!

Actually the first thing we did was go and have the "Return of the Chedi" burger. It is part of the Star Wars celebration. A burger that looks like it belongs to the galaxy with its vibrant colours. It has beef patty, smoked cheese kranky (that's the sausage looking pieces in the burger), pickles, ketchup and cheeses.. and I swear there is some chilli paste in there somewhere because there was definitely a bit of spice. As we were planning to go to Centennial Park so we decided to get our burgers to go from BL Burgers on Oxford Street, Darlinghurst for our little picnic.

Gorgeous day, although a little bit of traffic but we managed to get some really nice shots, despite the fact that there wasn't enough autumn leaves yet. 

We've got Sugawara playing ball in the autumn sun. Then we have Ichigo Hitohuri whose trying to stop a sword battle. The Wonder Woman Pop Vinyl belongs to @popfunko_adventures =)

Our toys met and played together (ᗒᗨᗕ) here's our little gathering.

'elloooo

This was a surprise discovery. Originally after brunching on oyster we were to keep driving south to our first place of stay and well I had wanted to go to Tanada Rice Terrace but the weather was dearily and so the photos turned out not as nice as the ones you see floating around the web. Still when we got there and saw this little monument, I just had to take a picture. There is actually a few of these Yumi Katsura Lover's Sanctuary placed all around Japan and we found ours in the south. These were placed in order to bring about awareness of the declining birthrate. If you can read Japanese or have google translate please go check out their website on the link at the bottom of this post and maybe next time you're in Japan you can take a look and see where your closest Yumi Katsura Love Sanctuary monument is.

For our first night we stayed in a little onsen village in Saga. Our ryokan of choice was Ryokan Oomuraya. We had a Japanese traditional meal which is also known as Kaiseki, using the most in season ingredients to create a course meal for the guest to enjoy. The onsens were amazing and perfect to start our road trip adventures, and their private onsen were great too!

Well that was day one of our road trip adventures in Fukuoka, Japan.

The essentials for the holiday.

For those who do not know Shiro means 'white' in Japanese. In Japan and some other cultures March the 14th is White Day. On Valentines Day, February the 14th is the Day that girls gives their love interest chocolate to express their interest. You can see the crazy locker overhaul of pretty wrapped chocolates in a lot of anime and manga. White Day is the male counter of Valentines Day, where the male will return the favour with either a present. This can be anything, but it is generally, cookies, white chocolate, marshmallows and more.

So really I'm just playing on Shiro's name to celebrate today!

Giving all my love to Shiro (*´ω｀*) Here are some love shaped marshmallows!

We don't actually celebrate White Day in Australia, and even among the asian community, no one actually really celebrates White Day. Of course, I only learnt about White Day through the anime I've watched and found it fascinated how it works both way.

While I go off to spend my White Day alone with Shiro and Konnosuke. I hope you are having a very 'LOVE' filled White Day (-‿◦)
