Japan Trip June 2016 - Part 5 Tokyo

Our last full day in Tokyo was cloudy, but not wet. Lucky!

This time I decided to explore Shinjuku area. Somehow we spent a lot of time in Uniqlo and Bic Camera wherever we went. Lol...

We went in a Ramen shop for lunch, and it was tasty. This is the type of shop with a vending machine by the door so we ordered our meal on the machine and gave the server our meal tickets. Itadakimasu!

We wanted to get Miss Kiki a new raincoat, so we went to the Odakyu Department Store and found a cute and bright one for her. She originally chose a pink one with cloud pictures on it, but unfortunately they didn't have her size. She was just as happy with the yellow one with frogs on it. This was a great reminder of how nice Miss Kiki actually was, despite the occasional stubbornness and smarty mouth.

Walking around Shinjuku tire Oma and Miss Kiki out, we stopped again at the L'Occitane cafe. This time the Shinjuku location. The menu was the same but the view in from Shibuya branch was much better. This time I ordered Creme Brule. Miss Kiki and Oma shared another Ichigo no Tiramisu.

And then when we got back to Shibuya, we finally found the Hachiko statue...

And that was our last night in Tokyo. Below are some miscellaneous pictures from Tokyo...

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 ...
