Meiji Shrine, Tokyo-DAY 4, May 2017

Ray being goofy at Meiji Shrine

Ohoho, I'm in Tokyo~

We went to Meiji Shrine, but it was closed because it's a holiday. We still enjoyed the park🌲🌳💮⁕ a lot since it's much bigger than normal parks. I think Japan's weather is really nice at this time and felt like the air quality was much better in Tokyo compared to Seoul...

Can we bottle this wonderful air and bring it to Seoul...?

Old trees that looked like at least a few hundred years old.

Japanese gardens are indeed beautiful!

sake barrels stacked up.

Don't remember the name of this place, but some parts were under construction.

Praying for their wishes to come true.

Somewhere in Harajuku

 I've heard of Harajuku many times and decided to lunch there since it's very close to the shrine. We found an American-themed restaurant with many toys...

I think it was about 1000 yen for one plate. They were So-so.

Akiba/Asakusa/Tokyo Tower, Tokyo-DAY 1-3, May 2017

 Hi~ Ray and I went to Tokyo in the first week of May, known as the Golden week. We got a little lost, but managed to walk to Tokyo Tower🗼 from our hotel in Kamiyacho.

There was an event going on. 'Koinobori' is Children's Day and we thought the carps were colorful! 🐠🐟👦👧🎏

We bought Pasmo subway passes which require our names on the card. Cute design~

This is the famous Buddhist temple Sensoji of Asakusa. ⛩ The big lantern🏮 at the front was pretty impressive. 

Ray and I at a pond.

Also there are many souvenir shops lined up in front of it, so be sure to check it out.

After lunch, we went to Akihabara which is a few stops away. It's a big electronics town and a home to many otakus...😁🎮

 Mario kart cosplay!

Well this was a nice surprise. A group of mario-themed karts were racing on the streets! How much did they spend on those karts...?! Only in Akiba :D

Roppongi Hills

Uniqlo store

Kamiyacho is near Roppongi Hills, so check it out if you need to go shopping like Don Quijote (discount shop) or eat and drink.

For dinner, I got a bowl of udon near our hotel. Around 500 yen.

I found these soles for my flat feet... so funny I couldn't find them easily in Korea. Does this mean there are more flat-feeted people in Japan? 😆 Till next post!

Jeju Island, Jan. 2017

In January we were in Jeju for a short trip. I miss driving there because the road is much wider and drivers are more easy going. 🚙

Ogyeopsal anyone? It's pork belly from Jeju with 5 layers of fat I think. 🐖🐷🐽

Because it was during Seollal(national holiday), we had to wait for the restaurant to open. It's tough travelling during holidays...

I also caught some pokemons here 👾

omg... the best burger ever. It compares to shake shack... pork belly patty was real juicy 😋 I think it's called 허브팜 and the address is 제주 제주시 애월읍 애월해안로 11 

We went kayaking in the Jungmun or the southern area. My arms hurt a little but it was fun!

They also had pig pens where you can see and even play with them. 

We found a little cafe to enjoy our afternoon ☕

That's all for this this post! Thanks for reading :)

Busan, December 2016

Hi! Here are some photos from Busan last winter. I got noodles with seafood and dumplings in Sasang, which is near Gimhae Int'l Airport.

Yummy and very cheap 😛😛😛

🍫🍨🍞Chocolate cream inside this puff (served chilled)

Since I went first and my husband was going to arrive later, I decided to go to Baekseok station and take in the scenery. It's next to Haeundae and there're tall residential buildings, so you can't miss it.

I stumbled upon the Cinema Street of Haeundae. There were movie posters on the wall and there's a spot where you can take a picture with the bridge in background. 

One of my favorite bridges--Diamond Bridge 🌉⟢

Not so crowded because it's chilly.

It's still Haeundae, so there were events going on like concerts and stuff.

Ray and his fish friend 🐟🐠🎣🚙

Year of the rooster...happy holidays!!! 😀 🐔🐓

We got some lobster(around $30) and it was pretty good. If only I can eat lobster every day...😋

This was at a bar around Haeundae. They had nachos, too~

Not many photos since it was a short trip... but I really enjoy Busan each time I go there. Till next time~
