Korea Fall 2019 - Part 6 Insadong and Seoul Station

Named the cultural street of Seoul, Insa-dong was a place I looked forward to visiting. They had many souvenirs and art supplies for sale. Most of the street is car-free so it was rather nice to walk freely.

A lot of the souvenir shops there sold the same items..., chopsticks and spoon sets, small pouches and wallets, magnets and keychains, hair accessories, small trinkets, and more. Once in a while you will see a more specialized store selling nicer but more expensive stuff like silk.

Korean themed silk neckties

I visited a few art supply stores and bought a few fans. Some were made in Korea and a lot of them were made in China. They sold similar brushes and other tools as the ones I came across in Shanghai.

On this street we had separated so we could freely look at any items we want to buy. A lot of us were tired and had chosen to sit and wait at Starbucks. I was walking around with Miss Kiki for a while but by the time we reached the Ssamziegil mall she reached her limit and started asking to sit. In the end, I didn't get to see inside the mall and we went straight to Starbucks to join the others.

Miss Kiki saw hairpins in the stores and decided she wanted one, but couldn't decide which. We ended up not buying it that day but returned to Insadong on a different day for a quick purchase.

That evening we went to Lotte Mart at Seoul Station and had our dinner in the area.

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...

Spring in Egypt Part 9 - Luxor Temple

At the time when we arrived at Luxor temple it was already after dusk and it became a little difficult to take photos. I compensated by setting my camera ISO to 4000 to make tripod-less picture-taking possible even though the grains became more visible. Just like the previous nights, the moon still looked round to me. I wasn't sure which one of those moons was the actual full moon. We walked around the temple first with Michael for explanations about the temple. In the distance we were able to hear the adzan calling the people for prayer. Situated in the east bank, the construction of the temple was started by Amenhotep III, continued and finished by the famous King Tut and Horemheb, and then added on to by Rameses II and finally by Alexander the Great. Unlike the other temples we had previously visited, this temple is not dedicated to a single cult/god. Instead, it is used as a place to rejuvenate kingship. May of the kings were said to have been coronated at this temple. ...

Japan Winter Holiday 2017 Part 7 - Otaru Sakaimachi

On our second day in Otaru after we had breakfast and ice cream , we continued walking to Sakaimachi. This shopping street is one of the busiest in the city and is where a lot of Otaru attraction is located. In front of one of the stores there, we saw this cute dog wearing a Minion outfit. Of course Miss Kiki jumped and squealed and asked if she could pet it. We asked permission from the owner to take a picture with it. Along the street they have rock statues in the shape of famous characters like Anpanman and Mickey Mouse. With Anpanman It was a very nice day, we were able to walk around and had fun without feeling cold even though there were a lot of ice and snow. Check out the platforms they set up on the hill. We think that it's to prevent snow slides... Most of the buildings there were old style,,, Many shops sell fresh seafood and they would cook it for you by order. As we walked past a souvenir shop, we saw a poster for these snowball make...
