Korea Fall 2019 - Part 2 Garden of Morning Calm

Having left Nami Island a little later than scheduled, we loaded back into the car and went to Garden of Morning Calm. To be honest I've never heard of this garden before and had decided to visit because it was a recommended course from Klook with the car rental. Now that I've seen it myself, I can confidently recommend visiting this site!  

It was late afternoon when we arrived so our time in the garden was limited. Walking around in the garden was a wonderful experience. It wasn't too crowded, the weather was perfect, and there were a lot of opportunities to take pictures. The garden was divided into several sections and unfortunately we didn't have enough time to explore all of the vast garden.




Miss Kiki was right in her element there. She seems to prefer gardens than theme parks even though she enjoys either one. She walked around happily with huge curiosity, Sometimes she stopped to look at the plants, other times it was for insects and such. Surprisingly they didn't have a lot of mosquitoes there.

Miss Kiki said that this tree is special. I don't remember why though..., sorry! I'll have to ask her again next time.



Near said tree stood a flowering tree with a bench underneath. There was an instruction on how to take pictures like those K-drama covers :D 


















We finished the day with a BBQ dinner in Myeongdong area. Did you know that beef is a lot more expensive than pork in Korea?



Our driver dropped us off at Myeongdong and we took the subway back to our hotel. That was our first full day in South Korea! Please stay tuned for the next posts...

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  ...
