Japan Winter Holiday 2017 Part 16

Japan Winter Holiday 2017 Part 16 - Tokyo

It's been a while since my last Japan Winter Holiday 2017 post. Laziness and procrastination had struck. We're almost at the end here so please bear with me.

We arrived in Tokyo Haneda airport and took JR Trains to get to our AirBnb in Shibuya. We dropped off our stuff, rested a bit, and headed back out to meet my friend for dinner.

We had planned to go to a restaurant called Tokachi. Located in Ueno-Hirokoji area, they are famous for their Buta-don (pork rice bowl). Unfortunately, we were turned down at the restaurant because we didn't have any reservations. It was bonenkai (year end party) season after-all. A lot of restaurants were very busy for dinner.

We walked around a bit and chose a cute little restaurant nearby. They served yakitori and other food. Aside from yakitori (chicken on skewers), we had salad, oden, omelette, karaage, umeshu, and more. We were so full!

After dinner we separated ways. My friend went home, DH went to meet up with our friend, and Kiki and I went back to Shibuya area to head back. At the time, Shibuya collaborated with Hello Kitty for their winter illumination. Can you spot the kitty bows on the trees?

At Hachiko Square

That was our first day in Tokyo. Until 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...
