A Week in Bali Easter 2016 - Part 1

 During the Easter week this year, I had the opportunity to get an assignment in Bali. Why of course it is an opportunity not to be missed! Miss Kiki had a term break and Easter break in one so the timing was really good. Lucky for us, DH was able to get time off/work-from-Bali arrangement.

We arrived at the Ngurah Rai airport on Saturday morning, and we were supposed to be picked up by our friends there. Little did I know, someone from my work place actually came and picked us up. It was very nice of them! So we asked to get dropped off at a restaurant for lunch.

At the airport

Babi Guling
At the restaurant we met up with our friends and went over to their house. We were staying there on the first night. It is an airbnb spot, you can view it here. If you ever need a place to stay in Bali I would really recommend booking their place.

So we went to have some gelato afterwards...


Then we went to the Beachwalk and walked along the busy Kuta beach around sunset...





And then for dinner we went to a Greek eatery called Warung Souvlaki. It was inexpensive and pretty good.




The next morning of course Miss Kiki got up before we did... she was super excited. She got to watch the Koi fish feeding...




Then we had some tea... how nice!


For brunch we went to a cafe attached to a supermarket... I can't remember what it was called :(


Look at how expensive this Haagen Dazs bar is!! Crazy!


On the way to our hotel in Denpasar, we passed by a large group of Balinese people lead by the civil 'police' called Pecalang on the road, demonstrating the reclamation project. It was a pretty big event that caused some serious traffic jam.







Our workplace booked the Grand Mirah Hotel in Denpasar for me and my colleagues. It's a small hotel but clean and nice, about 15 minutes away from the work place.


 For dinner we went to Il Pomodoro restaurant. The only Italian restaurant in Denpasar, I was told. It was good though, they have a large selection of food and they were pretty good.


So that was our first two days in Bali, stay tuned for the next post!

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...

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...

Motykas in Asia 2016 Part 7 - West Java

One day after we arrived in Jakarta from Phuket, we went on a road trip to Bandung, West Java. We were on a roll! Hahaha. Our first destination was the White Crater, a beautiful place located in Ciwidey, outside Bandung.  We left our home at around 7 am and arrived at the crater at almost noon. It was a loooong drive. Nonetheless, the view was breathtaking. It was a bit chilly up there, even the Winnipegers pulled out their jackets. :D The crater was pale green with strong sulphur smell, they recommend a maximum of 15 minutes at the bottom. Around the crater were serene looking tree barks with little or no leaves. During a certain time of the day, there would usually be fog coming down over the crater but we didn't get to see it. We spent about an hour at the crater and we moved on to the Rancabali Tea Plantation about 3 km away for some pictures. Miss Kiki was so...
