[Shinagawa: Yokohama] Yokohama and the HUGE FERRIS WHEEL!

Yokohama was in between Tokyo and Kamakura and I JUST HAD TO STOP BY. what’s awful about winter is that it gets dark early so when I was at Yokohama at about 5pm it was already dark. something like our 7.30 here.

I just love how discipline all Japanese people are. they automatically form a line. Continue reading “[Shinagawa: Yokohama] Yokohama and the HUGE FERRIS WHEEL!”

[Tokyo: Asakusa] Asahi Beer Hall

one of the few famous things I’ve known before actually planning to travel to Tokyo was this. the Asahi Beer Building. or, in a cheeky way named the golden poop. (황금똥! ㅋㅋㅋㅋ. 유진의 아빠 세 엄마 하나 봤어요?)

it’s so famous because it’s the only picture my friend whom returned from Tokyo showed me when I was still in secondary school.

anyhow, these 3 buildings are a perfect combination. especially with the golden poop! =3.  the blue skies compliment the buildings so perfectly, this is a spot not to be missed if you were going to visit Asakusa Temple. because it’s just a few footsteps away. DON’T BE LAZY. Continue reading “[Tokyo: Asakusa] Asahi Beer Hall”

My Nuffnang Story

blogging for so long, I’ve always enjoyed how I could be able to share my stories, my thoughts and of course, the information I obtained from travelling or using a certain product. sharing is caring, no? even until now, I do not find blogging a hassle but instead, a hobby. but one of the most significant part in my blogging journey would definitely be Nuffnang.

it was when Nuffnang blew their first birthday cake when I joined. I still remembered that it was in conjuction with the Pajama party where I only knew 2 people when I went for that event and returned with dozens of new friends. but it was only when I attended the Halloween Party where I started getting really active.

time really flies, and I hadn’t noticed how far Nuffnang had been with me in my blogging journey until I wrote this post.

this was 3 years ago. I was only 16! Continue reading “My Nuffnang Story”

[Tokyo: Asakusa] The Famous Asakusa Temple

I went to Asakusa on the last day of my trip. Asakusa was the most touristy spot I’ve been so far in Tokyo, but it wasn’t disappointing at all. it’s worth the visit. very worth.

just in case you were wondering, I stayed in Hotel Horidome Villa which is located near the Kanda JR Station. but you might wanna google map everything and DRAW your own map if you are keen on walking from Kanda Station because it’s about 1km+ far. but if you arrive/depart not on some odd hours, you can directly take a private line to Kodenmacho.

it’s a Christian Event. it’s a concert which at the same time try to promote Christianity though idolism. I am quite happy being Buddhist where I am born to. but for the atheist around, it’s really not bad ;). I think that everyone should have a religion; any religion which teaches you good things will do. Continue reading “Brian Joo & Alexander Lee @ 3rd Wave”

[Tokyo] Tokyo DisneySEA Part II!

what did I say about DisneySea being a total fab place for photography?

it summed up to 1k pictures from a day. mad? not to mention I wasted 2 hours queuing up for rides. which were a total waste of time because it.. wasn’t good. at all. I heard from my friends studying in Japan that Tower of Terror is worth it though. =D.

welcome to Venice! I liked this part the most. but I didn’t have enough time to walk through it all. but basically there’s a mad mad mad queue just for getting on the boat. =S. great thing is that it’s totally Venice feeling because they hired people who would sing and also row the boat.
