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

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
