Before I post the Sakura photos, I’ll take you to the rest of the day first. This really felt like one of the longest days ever, so please bear with the split posts. Imperial Palace After walking around at Ueno Park, up next on my itinerary is the Imperial Palace. As my feet are already […]
Having slept at 8:30PM last night, I woke up at 6:30 and decided to start my day early! I no longer showered (because I showered before I slept, and that’s how Japanese people do it), so I just washed my face! My hostel does not have free breakfast, which I chose on purpose so that […]
This is it, my first Spring in Japan, and my first time to travel solo! I didn’t think twice about booking a flight when I saw Cebu Pacific’s promo. I have been to Japan several times, but I have always wanted to go in the spring time, when sakura (cherry blossoms) are in full bloom. […]
I’m sorry for the long break – it has exactly been a week since my last post. I attended a wedding of a friend in Boracay last week, so that disrupted my blogging schedule. It was a lovely wedding by the beach – and I got to meet up with old friends. We had a […]
I have been to Boracay several times, and it’s always been the White Beach area from Station 2 to Station 1. This time, I ended up on the other side of Boracay because I was looking for a cheap place to stay in for a night. And I think I just found a treasure. In […]
You can’t be in Japan and not visit the mecca of anime and gadgets – Akihabara. This was the only item on our itinerary for today. Our check out time was at 10 AM – we already did our packing the night before. After having a simple breakfast of bread, milk, bacon and coffee, we […]
On our third day, I woke up already feeling anxious about leaving Japan the next day. There were a lot of things in my mind that I wanted to do, places I wanted to visit – but there’s just never enough time each time. I got pressured thinking we only have 2 and a half […]
To be honest, we (almost) had nothing on our itinerary. This was just going to be a “do-whatever-we-want-to-do” trip, except for one or two which Hannah wanted to visit. One of these is a store with 7 floors of anything you can put your hands on (to do creative work, I mean) – Tokyu Hands in Shibuya. […]
Unfortunately, the train from Shibuya to where we were staying was not a subway line. So, we had to use the normal PASMO/SUICA card for this part of our commute. For future accommodations, I will keep in mind to make sure there is a subway line running nearby. Nevertheless, we loved our Airbnb for this […]
We arrived at Narita Airport at around 7 AM, with intermittent 5 hours of sleep on the plane. Prior to exiting the plane, the flight attendant said “It’s very freezing outside, please keep warm.” She was right! We walked from Terminal 3 (JetStar) to Terminal 2, where the train station is located. We rented a […]
