[Japan Hoilday] I miss Tokyo!

Harajuku is one of the famous fashion shopping areas in Tokyo, and nobody will fail to visit here when visiting Tokyo as it is filled with nice fashionable shops, cafes and restaurants.     Takeshita-Dori is a street of Harajuku that Daiso's flagship store is located. It is the biggest Daiso store in Tokyo which boasts 4-storey selling products that range from foodstuffs, stationery, household and personal grooming products.   Apart from getting cheap stuffs from Daiso, I also love the yummy crepe in Harajuku too.

He soon begins to collect deceased’s belongings as souvenirs in hoping they will open a portal to the world of the dead.     The Eyes Diary delivers the story pretty well but the movie leaves out some details of the casts and scenes that leave us wonder

A day out at River Safari

I was glad to receive an extended invitation from Claressa to visit the River Safari and I accepted it without a second thought. Beside Baby always wanted to visit the the Giant Duo Pandas, so this was the perfect chance to do so!   It was my second visit to River Safari, but I was still feeling excited as during my last trip, the River Safari was still partly under construction, so this trip completed my excursion of the River Safari!   A Crab-eating Macaque was spotted at the River Safari, and it looked so cute!     There is a 3-metre high aquarium at the majestic Mekong River which is also known as the 'Mother of all Rivers'.   I love the  Mekong River attraction, the best, which is among the 7 famous rivers: Mississippi River, Murray River, Ganges River, Yangtze River, Congo River, Mekong River and River Nile.   The rare seen Chinese Alligator is spotted at Yangtze River, Asia's longest river and World's third longest.
