Motykas in Asia 2016 Part 4 - 3D Art Gallery Saigon


It was the first day of 2017! We woke up just a little later than usual and again, had breakfast at the hotel. We didn't have any definite plan for that day because we weren't even sure if anything were going to be open. It turned out that everything was open. Our top options were Cu Chi Tunnels and 3D Art Gallery. Given the time limit, we opted for a more relaxed day and chose the latter.



We took Uber to the Gallery. It was quite fun! Miss Kiki definitely had a lot of fun playing pretend. This post mostly contains pictures from there. There are some really nice ones from the whole lot. If you scroll down to the bottom you will find more food pictures from our last hours in Saigon...















































































That was a LOT of pictures we took within 2 hours!

From the gallery, we took another Uber ride to our hotel. We still had some time before we had to leave for the airport, so we went to eat at a bistro nearby. We were lucky that it turned out to be really good, the boys claimed that it was the best food throughout our trip!







Of course, I had to have Vietnamese coffee on my last day in Vietnam. We stopped at a coffee shop around the corner and ordered three different types. They had about 50 different beans on the menu.





It was finally time to go... we took a taxi van back to the airport and our adventure continues... to Cambodia!

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. ...

Nasi Tumpeng - Yellow Rice Mountain Recipe

Last week, one of my friends posted a picture from her daughter's birthday with a "Nasi Tumpeng" in it. Traditionally, in Java and some other places in Indonesia, this mountain-shaped rice dish is served for special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, and other celebrations. Below are some pictures of full blown Nasi Tumpeng platters. From satelitnews.co From bundatwinskitchen.files.wordpress.com From indochili.com Impressed yet? Well, the fore-mentioned friend offered me to come over to her place and learn how to make it so of course I gladly went! I am well aware of my cooking capability (and patience) so we made a much simpler (and smaller) version of it.  For the rice you need: 2 cups uncooked rice 1 cup coconut milk (you can put more or less depending on your preference) 1 stem lemongrass 2 bay leaves (dried or fresh) 2 lime leaves (dried or fresh) some turmeric (powder or fresh) water Here's the how to: ...
