Motykas in Asia 2015 Part 12 - Hong Kong

On this day we went to see the Big Buddha statue up high on a hill. We took one of the lines of the MTR all the way to the end, near the Hong Kong airport. As soon as we exited the station we found an outlet mall, but with the exchange rate everything was still expensive.

We had Subway for lunch... Ha!

And of course we had coffee.... expensive!

Then we finally headed to the Cable Car station to go up the hill. The line up was quite long, but it was not unbearable. That day was a cold one. When we purchased our ticket, the lady at the counter practically tried to force us to buy a tour package with them but we knew better. We wanted to see the fishing village after the statue and we were told that the only way to get there was by buying the tour package. No way! I've done my quick research... can't fool me!

They had Hello Kitty Cable Car display. Of course I had to pose with it!

We finally started the climb to the Big Buddha statue. It is not an ancient statue, but popular anyway.

Sure enough, we were able to get to the Tai O Fishing Village by Bus for just under HK $7.

The funny thing was... we lined up for a bus to a place that sounded familiar. We assumed it was going to take us to the previous village so we could take the cable car back down. It turned out that the bus took us all the way to the MTR station! Lol... Oh well, live and learn. :D

That evening we had a super yummy dinner with DM, and then they went to see DM's University and Dorm. I on the other hand, went to a street market.

Here's another panoramic take from Tsim Sha Tsui

We're almost done! Stay tuned for part 13!

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

Labuan Bajo 2023 Part 2 - Leisure Day Trip

I booked a leisure day trip for our second day in Labuan Bajo via Traveloka . When I say leisure, I meant a non-diving trip. We have a live onboard trip booked for the 3rd to the 5th day but that one is a diving trip covering different places and adventures so we tried to cram the other must-visits of Komodo National Park in one day. For breakfast that morning, we had breakfast boxes that the resort had prepared for us by order. The tour was operated by East Cruise Komodo and it was an open trip consisting of thirty-something people. East Cruise Komodo picked us up at Sudamala Resort where we stayed at 5:30 am and brought us to the harbour. The re-registration process at the harbour took about half an hour and after we were assigned a boat, we boarded. On the boat, our tour leader collected what was supposed to be the entrance fee for the National Komodo Park. It was IDR 150k per person for locals and IDR 300k per person for foreigners. We never saw the tickets but later on, we foun
