Motykas in Asia 2015 Part 11 - Hong Kong

The following day we went to Tim Ho Wan, one of Hong Kong's Michelin Star restaurant. DM had an afternoon off so he was able to join us. We have a couple of Tim Ho Wans in Jakarta but I was told that the one in HK was better. Well, it's true. Now I can say that for myself.

We got to Tim Ho Wan during lunch hour so the lineup was super long.

After lunch we separated ways with DM and continued walking around in Kowloon area. We took the Dingding and walked some more.

Of course, we had to stop for HK Style Coffee... This time I already knew how to order coffee thanks to my sister!

On the street there was a guy fixing watches...

And I stopped at Starbucks to check out their tumbler collection. They have some cute Chinese New Year themed ones.

We passed by some traditional market...

And finally we arrived at Times Square... there was a store I wanted to visit there.

Tada! The Donguri Republic store! It is a Japanese store selling Studio Ghibli's paraphernalia. I was like a kid in a candy store!!

Got myself a Totoro Shawl. Yippeeee!

Got this waffles on the street.... My sister told me 10x what the name was and I forgot 11x. Sigh...

In the evening my sister's in-laws took us out for dinner at a nice Chinese restaurant. Here I ate several fried pigeons. There were several other yummy dishes too. I was so stuffed!

Thank you, Aunty and Uncle!

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...

Japan Winter Holiday 2017 Part 7 - Otaru Sakaimachi

On our second day in Otaru after we had breakfast and ice cream , we continued walking to Sakaimachi. This shopping street is one of the busiest in the city and is where a lot of Otaru attraction is located. In front of one of the stores there, we saw this cute dog wearing a Minion outfit. Of course Miss Kiki jumped and squealed and asked if she could pet it. We asked permission from the owner to take a picture with it. Along the street they have rock statues in the shape of famous characters like Anpanman and Mickey Mouse. With Anpanman It was a very nice day, we were able to walk around and had fun without feeling cold even though there were a lot of ice and snow. Check out the platforms they set up on the hill. We think that it's to prevent snow slides... Most of the buildings there were old style,,, Many shops sell fresh seafood and they would cook it for you by order. As we walked past a souvenir shop, we saw a poster for these snowball make...

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. ...
