Japan Winter Holiday 2017 Part 2 - Milk Kobo and Prativo

On our second day in Niseko, we woke up to a beautiful view from our room. We could see the parking lot on the left side and snow mobiles in the centre.







We got ready and went downstairs to the lobby to catch the hotel shuttle bus. I proposed to DH that we had breakfast at Prativo, a restaurant at Milk Kobo. It was another food spot recommended by https://bumblebeemum.net/. The plan was to eat there and go back to Niseko Village to do some winter activity, including a ski lesson for all of us. Alas, we got there too early, Prativo was not open yet! Luckily their cafe was already open so we sat down and I bought some cheese tarts, a choux, and a bottle of yogurt. All made there at Milk Kobo. The cheese tarts were freshly out of the oven. It tasted soooo good! We knew Hokkaido was famous for their dairy products amongst other things, and the products from this place were proof! Mind you, we didn't find any other choux nor tarts in other places in Hokkaido better than these.

DH and I sat on our table by the window and we let Miss Kiki have her snow time outside the window. Not long after, I decided to join her outside and we walked a bit further around the area. They provided a toboggan there for customer use, so we grabbed it and I showed Miss Kiki how to use it. The area was quite large, all covered in soft, fresh snow. With proper clothes, it wasn't cold at all. It even started snowing lightly when we were out.























My legs :D



When we came back inside, she was all flushed and pink :)




At 11 am Prativo finally opened. We were the first ones there, so we got the best table in the house. Right at the centre, with the view of Mt. Yotei. In just half an hour, the mountain was not visible anymore. How lucky that we got to see it!

As we sat down, we told Miss Kiki to take her jacket off and found that she was drenched on the inside. We dressed her too warm and she was sweating so much!


In Prativo, it was a set price for adults and children. Adults get to pick one out of 4 main dishes from their menu while kids had an additional option on top of the 4. Miss Kiki chose spaghetti with seafood, and the other two dishes we chose were grilled fish and chicken with tomatoes. They were all yummy. The best part of Prativo is their unlimited salad bar. They had fresh vegetables, cooked vegetables, potatoes, pumpkins, eggs, desserts, drinks, and more. They even served the same yogurt that we had earlier at the cafe. Somehow Miss Kiki barely ate. Maybe she wasn't feeling too well after all that play in the snow, or after being overheated in her clothes.

We left Prativo and waited for our shuttle bus at the bus stop across the street and headed back to the hotel...

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!šŸ˜Š 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. ...
