Bangkok 2018 Part 2 - May's Garden House Restaurant

I first found out about May's Garden House Restaurant from TripCanvas Thailand. As a Studio Ghibli fan, of course I had to go and check this cute little place out. We took a taxi from Chatuchak Weekend Market straight to Sukhumvit area. When we arrived, we took pictures with the signage. The restaurant was full but we were lucky that a table was almost done and they could accommodate us. We just had to wait a little bit. Some people who arrived after us were turned down. I would recommend making reservations if you want to eat there. I heard that they accept reservations via Facebook.

I immediately noticed that there were many Japanese people in the restaurant. I almost forgot that we were in Bangkok!

The restaurant has a small garden area and in the building they had a big Totoro plush on display. The whole place were decorated with Ghibli paraphernalia and they also played music from the movies. On the dining table they had Totoro tablewares set up.

The food they served were normal Thai food, and not really decorated in Totoro theme. They were delicious, though. They had very cute desserts, this one below was mango cheesecake. Yummy! Prices were a bit high but it was expected from any character restaurants.

We left the restaurant after lunch and walked to EmQuartier. On the way we passed this plant that looked like pineapples but it was the size of a cherry. I've never seen it before!

In Sukhumvit area I came across many foreigners, particularly Japanese people. I think that this was where they gathered. The EmQuartier mall was full of Japanese restaurants and cafes.

While my sister walked around the shopping mall, I stayed in the outdoor area to enjoy ice cream and some snacks. I tried ordering Hoegaarden but apparently there is a law in Thailand that you can't buy alcoholic beverages between 2 pm and 5 pm!

So that was our afternoon in Sukhumvit area! Please stay tuned for more!

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

Labuan Bajo 2023 Part 2 - Leisure Day Trip

I booked a leisure day trip for our second day in Labuan Bajo via Traveloka . When I say leisure, I meant a non-diving trip. We have a live onboard trip booked for the 3rd to the 5th day but that one is a diving trip covering different places and adventures so we tried to cram the other must-visits of Komodo National Park in one day. For breakfast that morning, we had breakfast boxes that the resort had prepared for us by order. The tour was operated by East Cruise Komodo and it was an open trip consisting of thirty-something people. East Cruise Komodo picked us up at Sudamala Resort where we stayed at 5:30 am and brought us to the harbour. The re-registration process at the harbour took about half an hour and after we were assigned a boat, we boarded. On the boat, our tour leader collected what was supposed to be the entrance fee for the National Komodo Park. It was IDR 150k per person for locals and IDR 300k per person for foreigners. We never saw the tickets but later on, we foun
