This was a little pudding cup we got at a patisserie in a grocery store. There are so many treats like this; Japan takes the appearance of their desserts as seriously as they take the taste.

Who We Are
We’re Teddy and Cassie McCormick.
We’re currently in the process of moving to Japan.
We’re pretty cool in general.
Food Pics
Some of our friends suggested a part of the blog just for pictures of food we’ve eaten – this is going to be that section! Japan has a ton of fantastic food that’s as fun to look at as it is delicious, and this seems like a fun way to share it with our friends!

Tokyo, Revisited
The McFarlands (and PJ, Lizzy’s sister) are here, and we’ve had a great time traveling around Tokyo with them, showing them some of the stuff we’ve enjoyed. I guess before I get to that, though, I should talk some more about our week before they got here. It wasn’t very eventful, but we did do […]

Dad and Shaz’s last day
Shaz and Cassie’s dad will be leaving later today; yesterday was their last full day here. After that, we have another week with Drew, then two weeks where it’s just me and Cassie, until our friends Micah, Lizzy, and PJ show up for two weeks.

Our time in Kyoto
Here it is! A massive photo dump and summary of our time in Kyoto. You already know the basics, so I’m just gonna dive right in!

Home Sweet Home
It’s funny; we spent almost as much time in Kyoto as we had in Tokyo, but we all agreed that coming back to Tokyo felt like coming home again. It’s a nice neighborhood and a comfortable place!
-
We have phones again! Also Kyoto is nice!
So first things first: I should warn you to expect lighter updates for the next week. We’re traveling in Kyoto and I didn’t take my laptop, so all posts until we’re back in Tokyo are going to be written on my phone.

I Love It Here
Tokyo has been fantastic. I don’t even know where to begin; it’s just great. I love Los Angeles, but Tokyo has everything I like about LA, plus the food is cheaper, the public transit is reliable, the roads are more walkable, there’s affordable housing, and everything is cleaner.
