Korea Fall 2019 - Part 9 Hongdae

Hongdae is not famous for it's night life for nothing. After our visit to the Trickeye AR Museum in Hongdae, we combed through the busy streets trimmed with small shops and cafes. The darker it got, the livelier it seemed. Some of us were already tired so we stationed ourselves at a table at Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf and took turns walking around. Miss Kiki got tired of the crowd rather quickly, so I took her to venture out further and look for parks.

We spotted Gyeoungui Line Forest Park on the map and headed there. It was a longish park with a walking path. There were many dogs and their owners in the park enjoying the nice weather, some buskers were setting up to play music, and the bars along the park were setting up.

Miss Kiki and I spent some time at the park and started walking back when it was close to sunset. It was then that we passed Millo cafe and I decided to give it a try. I ordered a cup to go and spent a little bit of time inside, until the worker approached us and informed us that it was illegal to drink from a to-go cup when sitting inside a cafe!

It was around dinner time and we congregated at Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf to walk to the restaurant for which we had bought meal vouchers for. It was called the Old Charcoal House from Klook, and boy were we ever disappointed. The restaurant was rather old and run down, in a strip of nicer looking restaurants. I know not to judge a book by its cover, but the food was nothing special either! Of our whole trip with the many Korean BBQ that we had had, this one was by far the worst.

After we finished our dinner we walked around just a little bit more and went back to the hotel. It had been a long day, and the accumulated activities had started to wear us down.

Up next, the Seoul N Tower! Please look forward to it!

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...

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...

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. ...
