My favourite shop in Taiping is the Toto shop where I place my weekly bets but, because it is not suitable for this site,  I have decided to feature my favourite shop in Hawaii instead.
The reason it is my favourite is because of the delicious Banana bread that I tasted for the first time in my life and it has the best Kona coffee on Big Island.
From the top:
1. The UpCountry Bakery and Café in the town of Captain Cook, Big Island, Hawaii.
2. A view of the inside of the UpCountry Bakery and Café.
3. The famous Banana Bread.

p.s. I did not know about GentleBen's passing when I posted this. However, I think he would not want us to stop.

Butterfly
Enticed by the bright city lights,
a butterfly quietly flits;
one of the more colourful sights
that throng the dark but vibrant streets.
She flutters about red lanterns
with a fine shamisen in tow;
she plays in teahouses and taverns
pausing only to take a bow.
The bright hues of her kimono
fill up the emptiness of night;
gay and chatty, she seems to know
how to raise her tipsy clients’ delight.
Regretfully, when daylight breaks
in this Land Of The Rising Sun,
the sleepy butterfly slowly makes
her way back to the cocoon she spun.

The photos in my profile are all at least a few years old so I have decided to reveal myself. This photo of my girls and me snorkeling at Kahulu’u Bay, Kona is a few weeks old and the latest photo of me. I still look the same; maybe greyer and a little heavier. So what do you guys think?
Oh, the girls call themselves Charlee’s Angels.
