Issit possible to be tired of festive eating already? My taste buds that have been mercilessly living on instant noodles and frozen pizzas for the last couple of weeks have been put through the paces with the explosion of exotic spices and large amounts of carbs consumed several times daily. Today I took refuge at a local Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf and nibbled my apple cinnamon muffin lunch gratefully, washing it down with a moderate cappuccino. Then I got dropped off at what seemed like the furthest train station on the island and got the scenic ride into the city, with a complimentary sore arse. I was holding up the line at the ticket machine not clear why my ticket was not accepted until a nice local pointed out there were sticker instructions to be followed. I sheepishly thanked him and hoped perhaps my sometime Japanese-like features could pass me off as one of those 'bloody tourist' today.

THIS WAY TO FLICKR.
