Summer in North America 2018 Part 6 - Winnipeg Friends

We arrived in Winnipeg on Sunday afternoon and our friend MM was already there to pick us up. Even though it had been almost 4 years since we last visited Winnipeg, MM and her husband did two Asian trips with us in between. It was very nice to see her again after a couple of years! For the 9 days that we were in Winnipeg we stayed with them.

Winnipeg Airport

Loading the car

Our visit in Winnipeg was mostly filled with meeting/gathering with friends. Well, lets be honest here... no one is going to fly twenty-something hour flights just to see touristy spots in Winnipeg. We made various trips to Costco, different restaurants, and friends' homes.

We went to Costco.....

Unloading

Then to Starbucks...

Seeing Steph at Starbucks

Meeting Ziko!

Then to the 24-hour Walmart just cause we can..... I must say shopping at midnight doesn't encourage good shopping decisions. We came home with bags of chips :D

Midnight trip to Walmart

Of course, we made a special trip to Sun Fortune Restaurant. My favourite Chinese restaurant for sure! I used to go there at least once a week.

Aaaand finally meeting our dancer friends from our old Virage Dance Co. performance group. It was great to catch up with everyone!

There was one new thing that MM was excited about in Winnipeg... and that was the Save on Foods supermarket they opened up near her home. :D We went there together one morning and it was quite impressive. Here, take a look for yourself.

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...
