Motykas in Asia 2015 Part 9 - Hong Kong

Early in the morning after the dinner at Arena, the Motykas and I continued our adventures to Hong Kong. They left with an earlier flght while I took a slightly later flight with transit in Brunei Darussalam. I was surprised to see how small and empty the airport was in Brunei. To make it worse, no working internet! Luckily it was only a one-hour transit.

In the mean time, Miss Kiki and DH stayed behind in Bali and had another leisurely day before they flew back to Jakarta that evening.


 

I arrived at the HK airport first (before the Motykas) so I took my time to browse around the airport including the Terminal 2 that I've never been to before. Mind you my last visit to HK was in 2005! The T2 was like a whole shopping centre by itself, and there they have a HK Disneyland Store that sells discounted items. I regret not buying anything there because it turned out that the Disney store inside the departure areas did not have any sale at all.




My sweet sister arranged a pick up for us from the airport to take us to the airport. She warned us prior to our arrival that the taxis in HK charges trunk fee if you ever use their trunk. If you are travelling by yourself or only with 2 people, then this Shuttle Service may be a good option. You can also rent a whole car from them if you are travelling in a group.

At the airport one of our friends came to meet up with us. He lives in Hong Kong now as a pilot for Cathay Pacific. We then parted ways at the airport because DM had to go straight to the dorm and our friend went with him.

I stayed at the Best Western Harbour View and the Motykas at another hotel about a block away. Check out the lobby of this hotel... we joked about it endlessly :D

The location was very good, we were able to walk up and down Centre Street for food during our stay.

And that was our first evening in HK. Stay tuned for part 10!

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 Trip June 2016 - Part 9 - Osaka

It was a super hot and bright morning and we were all packed and ready to ride the train to Osaka. We had no excuse to take a taxi so we walked to Kyoto Station... It was a rather short ride considering we moved cities, it was still around noon when we arrived at Osaka Station. The AirBnb property I had booked looked close to the station on the map, but it was further than expected. We were so sweaty by the time we got there, mostly because of our backpacks and our suitcases! I was very impressed Miss Kiki carried her backpack without complaints even though it was pretty stuffed by then. Taken from Osaka Station We had to change our wet and sticky clothes upon arrival, and after a bit of rest we decided to head out. First to Tenjimbashisuji Shopping Street listed on a tourist guide just over 1 km away. It was so hot and sunny I regretted not taking a hat for any of us. I was lucky I hadn't forgotten to bring my sunglasses. When we got there, we real...
