Japan - Day 2: Nara Food Trail

When I posted my Japan trip last night, some bloggers asked me if I'd left out the Day 2 post. I didn't miss it but just couldn't figure out what to write for the second day because I spent most of the time sitting at my friend's place, recovering from the tiring 7-hour flight. I then tried to recall and I realised that I did walk around Nara but it was merely a food hunting experience between the two hungry souls. Since I was requested to write a little about Day 2, I am going to show you what the forever famished-looking Ming Na had eaten and seen in Nara.
