A Week in Melbourne - Part 4

Our 4th day in Melbourne was pretty laid back, we walked around the CBD area and visited a friend at his cafe. We were scheduled to move hotels that day, so we checked out of Radisson and checked in at Ibis Melbourne. Through a friend we were able to get a very good deal at Ibis, and frankly, it was not worse than the Radisson. Except that they did not have any toothbrushes for their guests. The location was very good, and it was very easy to get around.

DH started with a latte at a cafe nearby called Stax Cafe and Miss Kiki had hot chocolate there. The owner was a French lady and she just loved Miss Kiki. There's definitely an advantage to being cute, she got a couple of Lindt chocolate and a kitchen tour from the kind lady.





From there we took the free tram and headed down to Flinders Ln.  I promised my friend to visit his cafe nearby. It was about 5 minutes walk to Cafe Andiamo and it was crazy busy! The cafe does not have the best rating on Foursquare nor Google, but I'm not sure what they were complaining about. Between Miss Kiki and I, we had a babyccinno, latte, mocha, warm chicken salad, and penne carbonara. All of them are good, in fact, it was the best penne carbonara I've ever had! 

It was so good to see my friend again, I haven't seen him since I graduated from high school! 













Meanwhile, DH decided to roam around the Flinders Lane himself. He passed by this burger place that looked good so he stopped to try. He said it was good.


Then he stopped for coffee at the Duke's Coffee Roastery. He said it was okay.

  After lunch we continued to browse the Flinders Lane and area, and in one of the arcade shops I saw this really cute display I had to take a picture of it!




Then DH decided that he wants to get a shave...


So for dinner we went to try Menya Ramen that is famous for the Gyutan Don. It was located right next to the Rose Garden we went to the day before. DH opted for the Unagi Don. Our verdict was... it was good, but not that great.

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...
