We Go Peanut Sugar is currently featuring Brandon & Misou’s Birthplace Tour (to Japan and Vietnam)! The trip took place late October to late November 2011 but we still have more pictures to blog (what can we say, trip withdrawal and procrastination kicked in). Please keep checking for updates!
Though not Japanese, Brandon, a writer/editor, was born in Okinawa. He hadn’t been back to Japan since then, so he’s excited to return to his people and homeland (his words).
Misou is a Vietnamese immigrant who also spent 7 years in the Philippines before moving to California. She loves taking pictures and fancies herself something of a writer, too.
We both now reside in the Washington, DC metro area, and we plan to travel the world (by winning the lottery, or by any other means) and eat our way through every cuisine there is.
Unless otherwise noted, all photos are taken by Misou Ho and Brandon Hopkins and cannot be used without our permission.

Although Brandon was born in Okinawa–it was a military base hospital–sorry honey–no dual citizenship!!!
