Akiko's. San Francisco. California. 3.26.2015.
My uncle Henry is in town from Shanghai right now as my grandmother is very ill. I took him out to sushi for dinner as I heard he loves sushi. Naturally, I took him to Akiko's for the super over the top omakase. This is what I have when I am there with the other executive chefs in town. I have been going to Akiko's for 15 years now, and it's become one of the best sushi restaurants in San Francisco in the past few years. It was extra special as my uncle Winter was a sushi chef and uncle Henry did not get to come for his funeral. So it was a really special meal in many ways.

Love. The Mirage. Las Vegas. Nevada. 3.22.2015.
Since I am not a drinker nor a gambler, I ended up doing other things in Vegas instead. I love The Beatles. I am British. It was my birthday. Birthday Love it was. Another amazing show! Many people were brought to tears at the end; I can easily see why.
O. Bellagio. Las Vegas. Nevada. 3.21.2015.
O was the biggest reason why I went to Las Vegas. I have been told over and over how this is a lot of people's favorite show ever. This is by far the best show I have ever seen. I got chills from watching this and that has never happened to me before. I highly recommend you seeing this if you can. It's simply magical.

Pull him away
Jealous so with me
Go there for new
For new things there
Singing of a famous street
I want to love, I've all the wrong glory
But is it Heaven or Las Vegas?
But you're much more brighter than the sun is to me
He's a hustler
It's a role he'll never make suit
Hang on to this
Stay and stay and fail and fail
Pull him away
Jealous so with me
Go there for new
For new things there
Singing of a famous street
I want to love, I've all the wrong glory
But is it Heaven or Las Vegas?
But you're much more brighter than the sun is to me
Reaching this itch in my soul
Is like any good playing card
Must be why I'm thinking of Las Vegas
Why, it's more brighter than the sun is to me
Carnivals are bluster loud
I'm dizzy so I go, under the 'Big Dipper'
Come fantasy for a carnival
How fitting before a wedding
Singing of a famous street
I want to love, I've all the wrong glory
But is it Heaven or Las Vegas?
But you're much more brighter than the sun is to me
Reaching this itch in my soul
Is like any good playing card
Must be why I'm thinking of Las Vegas
Why, it's more brighter than the sun is to me
Maybe then you will swear
This is hardly personal
I suspect I'm singing to a tune
And still find that beats singing to your soon

Neon Museum. Las Vegas. Nevada. 3.20.2015.
I highly recommend booking a tour here at the Neon Museum if you are in Las Vegas. You get to go to downtown Vegas and see all the buildings and pass all the Elvis wedding chapels. It's also a great way get the history of Las Vegas.
