A Month in North America Part 6 - Winnipeg Day 6, 7, 8, and 9

Day 6

On the 6th day we went to one of our favourite Vietnamese restaurants in Winnipeg. It is called Nhu Quynh on Ellice. I really like their Pho and somehow in Jakarta they just don't taste as good. I haven't found a good one, anyway.

Deluxe Pho

Charbroiled Pork and Spring Roll Vermicelli


There's another coffee place that was supposed to be good on Sargent called 
Thom Bargen.  In my opinion this place is better than the one on Main Street we tried on the weekend. The parking lot behind the building is an added bonus. Yet, the coffee was not as good as the ones I can get in Jakarta. 




Then we headed over to the Forks Market


For dinner we had a date with ES and RS. We met them through dance many years ago and have since became very good friends with the whole family. They do have a beautiful family. RS is the man behind Integrity Design from Steinbach. And ES is the talent behind Allure Photos. 

And here are some of the food we ordered.

Billy Miner Pie - my favourite!
Okay ES, this picture would bug you because it is out of focus. But it's the best I've got of us...... :(


The following day Miss Kiki got the chance to meet one of the neighbour's dog. Look how happy she was. A bit scared though, I think.


We went to Sun Fortune again for lunch, this time with MM and her BIL with another guy. The guys mostly talked about work, but the food was really good as usual. :) Too bad we did not take any pictures. In the evening Miss Kiki and I went with MM to the dance studio, while DH went out to King's Head to meet with one of his buddies, SS (below on the left). I don't know who the other guys are.


Day 8

DH had a lunch get together with his ex co-workers from the Winnipeg Transit. Miss Kiki and I dropped him off at the Confusion Corner Bar and Grill and then took one of MM's boys to the university Fort Garry campus. From there we took the opportunity to visit King's Park. It was a cooooooold day.





At the Rapid Transit Station - these are the people behind the fancy online system
DH caught a cold that day and so after a bit of driving around we decided to head home, stopping a little at the dance studio to meet our friends at the Wednesday Salsa Practice.

Day 9

The next day we had lunch at Yujiro with my ex boss and (not ex) friend, MD. She is a very busy lady but is now trying to have more spare time and filling that spare time with teaching painting classes.




In the evening we were invited to MG and RC's home for dinner. The pregnant lady made us a full blown dinner she barely had time to breathe! It was so nice to hang out with them again and we hope to be able to gather again sooner than later.


Coming up: Part 7

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  an
