Summer in North America 2018 Part 21 - Japadog, Granville Island, and more food

On the day after we came back from Seattle, I slept in. Miss Kiki and DH went out to the marsh near my sister's house and explored some more. They had more sun than I did last time I went with Miss Kiki. They ventured far enough to find an observation deck you can climb for a view...






Later that day, we all went to McArthurGlen Factory Outlet located right by the Vancouver International Airport. We didn't really go there for shopping, but for Japadog, the Japanese style hotdog chain that started as a food truck. Their original location is in Vancouver.









After lunch, I went to the airport with my sister because I had a few questions to ask the people at the immigration office. The two kids were left behind with DH at the playground at the outlet.


When we got back to the playground afterwards, Miss Kiki asked me if she had to go or if she can still play some more. My sister was so surprised with that question she didn't think it was normal. Lol!

From there DH and I went to Granville Island. He went to a brew house for some drinks while I walked around the area. It was drizzling a little but it wasn't a big deal.




Granville Island is a peninsula and a shopping district in Vancouver. The area had various venues such as a public market, different restaurants and breweries, as well as small boutiques and art galleries. Most shops close pretty early but some were still open when we got there.

















On the way home from Granville Island, we stopped at a Greek Restaurant for dinner. The food was okay, I think. Not that special....




On the following day, we went for dimsum at Tin Tin Harbour in Richmond again. It was a Saturday, so we had the full gang with us. We separated ways after meal but this time with different groupings. The kids went with the dads to Science World, and I went with my sister for coffee and shopping.




Miss Kiki volunteered for an experiment at Science World

We all got back together for dinner at a Chinese restaurant in Burnaby, and then we went home. The food was pretty good! 






Please stay tuned for the next post: Whistler Village!

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...

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. ...

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...
