Osaka Traveloge 3.0

Sunday, April 17, 2016

Day 4 of our trip was to Fushimi Inari shrine and Kiyomizudera in Kyoto. It was a lovely Wednesday! The weather was really great, though I would've liked it to be a little colder than it was. Took a 1 hour ride from our Air BnB at Nippombashi to arrive at Kyoto.

The snacks on the street leading up to Fushimi Inari.

Osaka Traveloge Part 2.0

Sunday, April 10, 2016

Monday

I think I can let the pictures speak for themselves on this day. We went to the Osaka Aquarium, had okonomiyaki, took the ferris wheel, went to a park with tons of sakura, and went to get sushi for dinner.

Osaka Traveloge Part 1.0

Sunday, April 10, 2016

Whew I'm finally back from Japan. The flight back was really tiring because the first flight to Shanghai delayed and we missed our connecting flight out to Singapore... :-( Going to break up the post into parts because there are way too many pictures to post all at once.

Saturday
Took a connecting flight from Singapore to Shanghai and then Osaka. We spent the morning in Shanghai and spent some time with Grandmamaw and Grandpapaw at Hongqiao. :) Pictures from the morning there!

Osaka travelogue part 0.5

Tuesday, April 05, 2016

Hi everyone! Currently halfway through my Osaka and Kyoto trip. Currently on a train to Kyoto. Some impressions of Japan thus far.
1) The MRT stations are like mazes. Like seriously, I would totally be lost if I were to come alone to Japan. Not only are the maps full of lines like a bunch of coloured spaghetti, the different lines on the same stations are also notoriously far apart, sometimes requiring you to go up and down several flight of steps.

Adventure to the Balkans Travelogue Pt. 1: Zagreb, Croatia

Hola at you readers! It's me, Sasha Bear here - and today we're FINALLY going to post about my trip to the Balkans circa Octo...

Quote I Love

“To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget.”
