While my Assistante was busy researching for the trip to Japan, I chose what was right for me.  My gut told me to clean my office, so I did, although at the time, it made me seem like not such a great "team player".  And then, our itinerary changed due to a magazine about Japan from 9 years ago that I uncovered during cleaning.  

The day when we arrived in Kanazawa, the snow turned me into a kid in a candy store, cotton candy, that is.

It may be fate (ahem, my cleaning) that brought us to this lovely city of Little Kyoto.  And it must be pure luck that we received so much snow during our visit (more on that later and on my Instagram account).

Requests for more candies (for reference, see above) are accepted in the Facebook comment below. :-)
