This was my first proper trip to Tokyo.\u00a0 I love it!! I&#8217;d very happily live there.\u00a0 Hopefully my career will take me there in the future.<\/p>\n<p>I dusted the camera gear off and took it with me. I mainly focused photographing all the food we ate. For me Japan is food paradise.<\/p>\n<p>I bought a new lens in Tokyo, the Canon EF-S 17 &#8211; 55 mm F2.8 IS.\u00a0 This is a sensational lens for pics indoors without flash. Perfect for food pics \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>This time i was introduced to properly good Izakaya(s).
