Still warm from the press, these little pancake style-shapes filled with red bean paste were lightly sweet pillows of deliciousness. According to the store owner they are three shapes associated with Sensō-ji in Tokyo: lantern, pigeon, and pagoda.

On 19 September 1893, Governor Lord Glasgow signed a new Electoral Act into law, and New Zealand became the first self-governing country in the world to enshrine in law the right for women to vote in parliamentary elections. Katherine Sheppard is the country's most famous suffragist.

Hamilton translates to a stadium venue well, however the seats at the back are a loooong way back. Tech is a little over halfway back.

Hell hath no fury like a country that discovers one of it’s national birds is not being cared for appropriately.
