Japan Winter 2019 - Part 7 Kobe Luminarie Illumination

Kobe Luminarie

If you are ever in Kobe in December, check if the Luminarie is going on. The Kobe Luminarie is a light festival commemorating the victims of the  Great Hanshin Earthquake and is an annual event since 1995. The hotel gave us a map, and Miss Kiki and I decided to go check it out. We had to line up and it was a massive amount of people lining up with us. However, it was a moving line and we got there fairly quickly. The lights were beautiful and they added classical music in the background for an elevated experience. Oma originally wasn't going to come but when DH and Opa decided to join in, Oma came along. When you pass the lights, you will find a night market with a variety of vendors. We tried a local warm wine that we liked a lot. That evening, Miss Kiki and I had a pretty awesome dinner. It was at a Red Rock, the restaurant famous for their Gyudon, but this time they sell slightly different things and we had a delicious pork rice bowl.

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!šŸ˜Š 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...

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  ...
