• A Hawk Stole my cream bun 😭😭😭

    March 8 in Japan ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C

    The wildest thing just happened!

    Here Michael and I are, walking through the sticks of Karatsu, munching away on our baked goods that we got from a bakery we passed on the way to Karatsu Castle. The bakery had so many interesting things so we figured having some baked goods on hand to munch on throughout the day never hurt anyone. Alas, we decided to try one of our goodies.

    Michael had his savoury pastrami and bechamel cheese pastry, which he loved, and I had a vanilla bean cream sandwich roll. It was soooo delicious. Not overly sweet, but with a beautiful note of vanilla, and a very crunchy roll to contrast the smooth texture of the cream.

    So munch munch we go. A baseball game is happening beside us, were getting so close to the castle, I'm happy as Larry munching away on my cream roll when suddenly, I hear a WOOSH, thick talons grip my fingers, feathers smack my head, and before I can even squeal, off goes my creamy delicious treat in the claws of a HAWK. Like, a big ass HAWK. Michael looks up, and away it flies, creamy delight in its grip.

    So yeah. That happened. And now I have no cream sandwich. Rude.
