Almost A Week in Prague - Part 4

Day 4!! Please check out Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 of the series if you haven't yet.

This day was the day we checked out of the hotel in the boonies and moved to Ibis Praha Wencelas Square.  We took the tram from one hotel to the other. Located right next to the Novotel Praha Wencelas Square, it is about 5 minutes walk from the National Museum. Mind you, the walk to the museum is downhill so it takes so much more energy to walk back. :D

For lunch we stopped at a pub called PlzeňskĆ” restaurace U GrĆ”ffÅÆ. We ordered Garlic Soup, Pork Tray, and Beer Cheese. Food was just okay. The Beer Cheese was veeeery stinky! The smell reminded me of rotten anchovies.

Since DH had been mostly working since we arrived, we walked around the Wencelas Square and I finally have some pictures with ME in it! ;)

I mentioned before that we had bought tickets to the Don Quixote Ballet at the State Opera Building. Since most people didn't dress up too fancy at the Magic Flute, we decided to dress more casual for the Ballet. Well, it turned out that the State Opera building is a nicer, bigger building and people who went to see the ballet dressed up fancier. Oh well.....

The State Opera building was quite amazing. The lobby was impressive and the inside was even more so.




Cheers!

Nintendo Switch Sleeve Tutorial

Hi! I'm Kirana from woofkiki.blogspot.co.id . I am going to write an introduction for this blog post. We bought a Nintendo Switch in Japan.  I really liked it and played with it almost everyday. If you're wondering what a Nintendo Switch is, it is a video game where you can basically  "switch" everything. The joy-cons and even the game! You can also connect it to your TV. It would be nice to bring it around with you, but when you put it in your bag... Oh no! The screen scratched! So, this is a sleeve that will fix that. Let's get started!😊 Kirana Now the tutorial (by Kirana's mom)... 1. Make your pattern according to the picture below. It is basically a 6"x24" rectangle with a semi circle at one end. Note: this is not a printable pattern 1. Cut your outer fabric, lining, and batting(optional). In this tutorial, I used minky for lining and a pre-quilted fabric for the cover, so I didn't need extra batting. For batting, I recomm...

Motykas in Asia 2016 Part 7 - West Java

One day after we arrived in Jakarta from Phuket, we went on a road trip to Bandung, West Java. We were on a roll! Hahaha. Our first destination was the White Crater, a beautiful place located in Ciwidey, outside Bandung.  We left our home at around 7 am and arrived at the crater at almost noon. It was a loooong drive. Nonetheless, the view was breathtaking. It was a bit chilly up there, even the Winnipegers pulled out their jackets. :D The crater was pale green with strong sulphur smell, they recommend a maximum of 15 minutes at the bottom. Around the crater were serene looking tree barks with little or no leaves. During a certain time of the day, there would usually be fog coming down over the crater but we didn't get to see it. We spent about an hour at the crater and we moved on to the Rancabali Tea Plantation about 3 km away for some pictures. Miss Kiki was so...

Spring in Egypt Part 9 - Luxor Temple

At the time when we arrived at Luxor temple it was already after dusk and it became a little difficult to take photos. I compensated by setting my camera ISO to 4000 to make tripod-less picture-taking possible even though the grains became more visible. Just like the previous nights, the moon still looked round to me. I wasn't sure which one of those moons was the actual full moon. We walked around the temple first with Michael for explanations about the temple. In the distance we were able to hear the adzan calling the people for prayer. Situated in the east bank, the construction of the temple was started by Amenhotep III, continued and finished by the famous King Tut and Horemheb, and then added on to by Rameses II and finally by Alexander the Great. Unlike the other temples we had previously visited, this temple is not dedicated to a single cult/god. Instead, it is used as a place to rejuvenate kingship. May of the kings were said to have been coronated at this temple. ...
