Motykas in Asia 2018 Part 13 - Starbucks Reserve and Roastery Shanghai

Yesterday I published Part 14 of the series then afterwards I realized that Part 13 hadn't been published yet! Whooops, sorry about that!

After our lunch in Xintiandi, we went to Starbucks Reserve Roastery Shanghai, a 30k square feet construction that is the home of the second-of-its-kind Starbucks after the Seattle counterpart. The one in Shanghai opened at the end of 2017, and apparently just a month ago they opened one in Bali as well!

There was a long lineup right outside the building to enter but the line moved very quickly. After 10 minutes or so we were inside the building. It was like a mini coffee amusement park complete with delicious coffee smells. A little confession here... I do not like Starbucks coffee and I very rarely drink coffee from Starbucks. However, this particular Starbucks has so many cool looking tools and machines and also interesting coffee concoctions we just had to give it a try. To top it off, their pastries looked very inviting!

Of course they had special Reserve Roastery tumblers and cups and stuff but they were way too expensive!

In one corner of the store you can see the coffee beans being roasted and packed.

The famous Clover machines

Pastries

Granolas

Cold Brew Bar

Sweets

Teavana corner

More tea tools

We separated ways with our friends here, and we hope that we could see each other again before another 10 years!

After Starbucks, we took the metro to the Science and Technology Museum Shanghai. We weren't actually planning to go to the museum, but at the basement by the metro station there is a market where one can really practice their haggling skills.... :D

Here I bought a custom stamp for myself to stamp on my paintings. :) They had clothes, souvenirs, teas, fabrics, and a lot of other things for sale.

We spent about an hour there before we caught another metro to go see the ERA Show Shanghai...

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
