I feel really flattered that the much admired Skinny Bib has nominated me to take part in Tripbase’s My 7 Links challenge. The idea behind this is to unit bloggers from all walks of life and throughout different blog topics by making them choose their 7 links in the areas expanded on below and posting them.

I am not sure how you,my dear readers,feel about this,but for me this was a chance to go back to my old blog posts,re-read them again and reminisce about food,travels and events that I was lucky enough to experience since the birth of my blog 1 year and 3 months ago.

So…. here we go….

1. My Most Beautiful Post

This one is easy. I have posted about exceptional food and amazing places,but there is one location that epitomizes the essence of beauty more than anything else that I have seen in the past years,and this is Kyoto. I expressed my deep admiration in the post: KYOTO (Japan) –temples and tempura.Never before have I experienced a place so full of grace and delicate beauty:enchanting temples and shrines,picturesque landscapes,incredible attention to details in presentation of food and drinks,handsome people and beautifully crafted gardens.

I didn’t have my new camera yet when I went to Japan,so the pictures could be better,but I hope you can still feel something of the admiration that I have experienced for this grand Japanese city.  Read more... (968 words,3 images,estimated 3:52 mins reading time)
