A little bit of Bali

Last September, I stopped by at Bali for 3 days before going back to my hometown.

It was such a short but fun trip with my parents :)

On the first day, we went to visit a Chinese temple behind a big Hindu temple at Kintamani which name I can't recall.

According to my dad, the king of this area married a princess from China and he built this small Chinese temple for her there.

The cross culture and religion architecture is quite interesting to observe.

Spent the next day fully enjoying the private pool and beach behind our hotel at Seminyak.

Hamarikyu Garden

What lovely about Tokyo is that no matter how crowded this city is, there is always place to relax at.

After spending an hour googling on internet of what to do, I brought my mom to Hamarikyu Garden for a picnic. It's located at Shiodome, a huge park surrounded by tall office and hotel buildings. 

And it was September, the month of blooming Cosmos! :)

Japanese tea house. If only we came earlier, we probably had tried having a tea ceremony there.

The contrast of modern and traditional is what I love the most about Tokyo.

The reason why I do not blog as much is because my life has been rough these days.
I am stuck in routine, not knowing what to do except going through the day.
Until last week, I finally set my mind that I don't want to live like this. This is my only life and I have to do what I love while surrounded by people I love.

 Everything is still unsure but I will probably leave Japan sometimes soon to start a whole new adventure of seeking what I love to do :)

The date has not been set but I am now trying my best to enjoy even the tiniest detail of this country :)

A day trip to Hakone

It feels weird to blog about what happened 4 months ago. I do still remember what I did but the memories are not fresh and I doubt I can write about every single details. 

One day in September, my parents and I went for a day trip to Hakone using Odakyu pass which cost us 5000 Yen each. Transportation in Japan is expensive and I think the pass worth it. It would be even better if we stayed overnight at Hakone but we didn't :(

Too bad the weather was not perfect that day and we could not see the famous mt. Fuji at all!!!!

A Day Trip to Kamakura

 It has been a while since my last post. I have started working since the third week of last month.
 Usually on the weekdays, I never touch my laptop when I reach home after work. 8.5 hours at the offive sitting in front of a laptop is tiring enough for my eyes and body.

Moreover, I am currently addicted to this iOS game called Battle Camp that I no longer check all my social medias besides that game! :D

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

And now I finally have some time to blog about my day trip to Kamakura with my parents last September. It's kinda weird since it's winter now but I am wearing summery clothes on the these pictures bellow! xD Plus, my mom is coming again to Tokyo next week lol 

Anyway, Kamakura is good for a day trip from Tokyo. It can be reached in around an hour from Shinjuku by either Odakyu or JR line. I bought the one day pass for the Odakyu line from Shinjuku (1500 Yen including the Enoden rides, what a great deal!). 

Kamakura is lovely, might not have the best beach but perfect for a getaway from busy Tokyo during the weekend!

Enoshima Shrine

These guys are trying to throw some coins into the box over there.

That day was cloudy with a little rain

Go away bad luck

I didn't know there were holes behind this famous great Buddha

Apparently Kamakura is also famous for its stray cats that can be seen everywhere
