Of Childhood Memories, Peanuts and the Possibility of Japan

Spending time with my sister in Hong Kong at Lantau Island

There was a Charlie Brown Cafe which my sister YCL took me for dinner years ago when my brother-in-law Patrick was stationed in Hong Kong for work. That was way back in 2014. That cafe it seems has permanently closed when I searched for it on Google. Snoopy comic books were a childhood favorite for all of my sisters. The lovable beagle made famous by Mr. Charles M. Schulz is one of many dogs he had, from what I read via the Charles M. Schulz Museum website in Santa Rosa, California which you can explore HERE. There is a satellite museum in Tokyo, Japan, a website screenshot is shown above with an entire calender of events for 2026, which remains an visual feast for my eyes, online. Perhaps I could make a trip to visit this Snoopy museum in Japan to re-ignite my childhood fascination through their interactive workshops on drawing and coloring Peanuts characters including Woodstock, Snoopy's yellow bird buddy. Japan is a country which I have never been to and is one of the must-go place for me and my sister YAL. For the month of September 2026, Tokyo's 143 is second behind Hokkaido's 197 in terms of species lead according to eBird Japan (screenshot as below). Edogawa City, Tokyo is one of the hotspots listed in eBird Japan with 228 species, 4049 checklists and 1,624 eBirders contributing to these submissions, which one can explore HERE
