A Week in Manado - Part 5

We took it easy on the 5th day. Started the day later, and without any big trips anywhere. Check out this blue sky that greeted us in the morning. For anyone outside Jakarta this may not be anything special, but for us, this is a huge treat compared to Jakarta smog.


For breakfast we went to none other than Rumah Kopi Billy for coffee, eggs, and toast. This time my mom's older sister and her eldest daughter and grandson came too. It was a big group! We talked about travelling somewhere together sometime this year or next. That should be a hoot!











At this point the kids got a hold of my Ricoh and went to town with it. You can tell by the faces everyone was making.








From there we drove to Manado Town Square. DH and I took the opportunity to take pictures on the parking lot. Check it out...



Photos taken by my cousin, my only male cousin from my mom's side actually. He didn't want a picture of him there because he sees it everyday he said. Hah! :P

Unable to decide what to do afterwards, we went and sat at Excelso.




For lunch we went to the Food Village at ManToS. 








Then we walked around the mall a bit while DH ventured out to see the surrounding area. He made a stop at Flinders Ln Cafe.






Tuna House was what we had for dinner. Their specialty was Tuna steak. They have the 30 thousand Rupiah set and 40 thousand Rupiah set. Very good Tuna and very good value! The set comes with Tuna of course, rice, sauce, and veggies. If you don't want rice, you can substitute it with boiled cassava.







Yum yum.......

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...

Labuan Bajo 2023 Part 3 - 3 Days 2 Nights Diving Trip With Chakana Liveaboard

  Photo credit: Lukas Rissing @thestudypacker A live-aboard experience is one of the highlights of Labuan Bajo. It has been on my bucket list for a while but every time I tried to go, something just didn't work out.... until now! The opportunity arose to join an impressive-looking boat this year and the dates matched Miss Kiki's holiday perfectly, how could I not take this rare chance! With less than a month to prepare, we booked plane tickets, accommodations, and whatever equipment we thought we might need. So off we flew to Labuan Bajo with little preparation and a lot of faith. ;) You can read the first and second parts of the trip in my previous posts. After we checked out of our hotel on the third day, we went to the pier and hopped on to a dinghy that took us to Chakana Liveaboard, a 47-meter-long phinisi-style yacht that was going to be our accommodation for the next two nights. My heart raced as we approached the pretty boat and spotted a group of staff excitedly wavi...

World of Ghibli Exhibition Jakarta 2017

A few months back I received an email about World of Ghibli exhibition in Jakarta. My skeptical brain immediately thought, "Aah, how good could it be... I've visited the museum in Mitaka   and it's probably not going to be any better." Fast forward to August, a few of my Japan loving friends mentioned that rumours said that the displays are very good, made by Indonesians in cooperations with Ghibli representatives from Japan. In fact, so good that the Japanese company plans to take the displays and give them a home in Japan. Well hearing this from several different people definitely piqued my interest and I decided to check it out. It turned out that Miss Kiki and DH also wanted to go so I bought tickets from Traveloka  because they had a sale.  In the morning of our visit day, I asked Miss Kiki if she wanted to dress up as Kiki when she goes and she excitedly said yes. I made her a red bow headband with Cotton and Steel's Supreme Solid in Bandana  ...
