Japan September 2016 - Part 3 Tokyo Ebisu Area

For the second half of our second day there, we went to  Yebisu Garden Place where the Museum of YEBISU BEER was located. The Garden Palace was a short walk from the station, nevertheless there were still interesting things we spotted.








The Ebisu Garden Palace area was filled with European style red brick buildings. It felt different from the rest of Tokyo. It was there that I spotted the first signs of fall colours.







The Beer Museum was located at the lower level and it was free to enter. They had displays showing the history of Ebisu Beer. On the other side of the room, they had a tasting area and a gift shop. To buy beer for tasting, you have to buy coins from a vending machine and then go to the counter to order. We ordered a flight and snack set for the two of us.

















That evening, we met up with my friend who had helped us bought tickets to the Ghibli Museum in advance at the Lopy machine. Those tickets have to be bought far in advance!




It was a crescent moon evening

We forgot to take a picture together this time and this blurry picture is all I have! :(


We walked around a bit outside the Garden Place area to get dinner, and we decided on a restaurant serving Kyushu Style food. We ordered several yakitoris and a pot of nabe. The chicken broth was so thick and yummy! They served chicken meatballs with our nabe. They server brought a bamboo slate with raw minced chicken in it, and she made them to balls and plunged it into the nabe pot right in front of us. Oh my, I got hungry just thinking about it!

We also ordered sake with our meal. When they brought the sake, the also brought a tray with a selection of sake cups so we could choose the ones we liked. It was a great dinner!





Until next time!

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
