Yaaaaay last weekend was my birthday and it was very VERY special. I’ll start with the most special part:

Ward and I got engaged! Yaaaaaaaaaaaay we’re so happy :D And I love love love the ring, it’s so beautiful!

But my birthday was also very special because I got to celebrate it with Wards family too! It was a fantastic weekend. We had dinner in ” Kitamura”, which is a michilin-starred sukiyaki restaurant that opened its doors in 1881. We got a private room, and a  really sweet Japanese lady made our dinner right at the table.

Sukiyaki is a dish where meat and vegetables are slowly cooked in a pot and when ready, you dip them in a sauce of raw eggs. It was so extremely delicious, the beef was of high quality and since the Japanese woman arranged everything, it all was perfectly cooked. 

It was really a fantastic dinner!!

After this amazing dinner we went for a night of real karaoke :D

The next day, my “official” birthday, the sun was shining and we explored Osaka.

Osaka Castle never fails to impress me :p

In shinsekai, we noticed a cunning resemblance between Ben and the towns mascot Billiken hahaha;

We then went to the Expo park (the same park I went exactly one year ago on my birthday,,, it”s becoming a tradition!). This park has a huge statue of the ” sungod”;

The most beautiful part of Osaka has to be the flower hill;

But let’s not forget: It was also the birthday of my sweet twinsister!! I sent her this photo of our faces, put together. We don’t really look like each other in real life, but this image shows that we certainly are twins! :D
