Summer in North America 2018 Part 21 - Japadog, Granville Island, and more food

On the day after we came back from Seattle, I slept in. Miss Kiki and DH went out to the marsh near my sister's house and explored some more. They had more sun than I did last time I went with Miss Kiki. They ventured far enough to find an observation deck you can climb for a view...






Later that day, we all went to McArthurGlen Factory Outlet located right by the Vancouver International Airport. We didn't really go there for shopping, but for Japadog, the Japanese style hotdog chain that started as a food truck. Their original location is in Vancouver.









After lunch, I went to the airport with my sister because I had a few questions to ask the people at the immigration office. The two kids were left behind with DH at the playground at the outlet.


When we got back to the playground afterwards, Miss Kiki asked me if she had to go or if she can still play some more. My sister was so surprised with that question she didn't think it was normal. Lol!

From there DH and I went to Granville Island. He went to a brew house for some drinks while I walked around the area. It was drizzling a little but it wasn't a big deal.




Granville Island is a peninsula and a shopping district in Vancouver. The area had various venues such as a public market, different restaurants and breweries, as well as small boutiques and art galleries. Most shops close pretty early but some were still open when we got there.

















On the way home from Granville Island, we stopped at a Greek Restaurant for dinner. The food was okay, I think. Not that special....




On the following day, we went for dimsum at Tin Tin Harbour in Richmond again. It was a Saturday, so we had the full gang with us. We separated ways after meal but this time with different groupings. The kids went with the dads to Science World, and I went with my sister for coffee and shopping.




Miss Kiki volunteered for an experiment at Science World

We all got back together for dinner at a Chinese restaurant in Burnaby, and then we went home. The food was pretty good! 






Please stay tuned for the next post: Whistler Village!

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  ...
