Boston 2019 - Part 4 Boston Public Library

The bright sun was harsh for the eyes but we donned our shades and continued walking. Our destination was the iconic Boston Public Library located right next to Copley Square. 








Copley Square
The library building wasn't difficult to find. The old building has a newer building built and attached to it. The massive library takes up a whole block between Boylston and Blagden Street, and Exeter and Dartmouth Street. We entered from the door closest to Copley Square and made our way around the library... There were so many things to see within the library itself, even when you don't plan to read a book. Just be sure not to disturb other visitors who were actually there to read.

Gas lights (not sure if they are still gas powered)

Entrance door

















And here is the most instagrammed part of the library...





Microfilm collection
The children's library and teen's library were located in the newer building, and they were very nicely decorated and organised.







When we finished self-touring the library, we found ourselves starving. We made our way to Luke's Lobster just around the corner. On the way there we spotted this cute mural and stopped for a few seconds for pictures.





And we finally arrived at Luke's Lobster! I ordered the Luke's Trio with side soup and drink to try all three types of seafood rolls they had to offer. They were all good but I liked the crab roll best. A few days later we found a lobster roll we liked better but more on that later...



Luke's Trio
After lunch we went to the Apple Store to get my iPhone fixed and hung out in the area while waiting for it...



From there we went back to our hotel and moved to another place I booked for our trip in the Seaport area near the convention centre. Please stay tuned for the 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...

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  ...
