This is bamboo garden which is located in Kyoto also. Furthermore, this is a countryside of the Kyoto. Then, you can experience Japanese culture here.

Yogurtland in Osaka - Nanba Park

For those who like dessert or yogurt, I think this is a right place for you to hang around. This is a shop which only sell yogurt. I usually not really like to eat yogurt due to the taste which I feel like difficult to swallow. But in this Yogurtland, you can find a lot of different taste of yogurt that you like. The most important, this is zero calorie. This is a good dessert for those who are on diet.



#1: This is the Yogurtland that located in Nanba park Osaka.

#2: This yogurt shop has the similar concept just like Subway. You can scoop whatever flavour that you like into the paper cup. Then, proceed to topping area. In this topping area, you can add whatever you like which including fruit, nada de coco, candy, walnut and etc. The last step is pay money at the cashier. The price is count by total weight of the paper cup, yogurt and topping.




#3: This is Yogurtland's paper cup



#4: I choose raspberry, peach and kiwi 's flavour. And Kitto choose green tea, chocolate and another one which I don know. Haha ... I think the raspberry and green tea are the best flavour !! (^.^) V



#5: The texture of this yogurt very soft. Something like ice cream, but not totally ice cream. You can feel a little bit with ice, but not really so. I just can describe this is something taste good, soft with little of ice... like that ~~ cool .. I like it !!



#6: This is me in Yogurtland.


Haha... Anyway I had a nice trip here. I think this is will be the only yogurt that I like !! .. haha .. delicious .. Yeah !!

Japan, here I come

Hello, the long journey from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore Changi Airport. Then, fly from Changi to Japan Osaka Airport. This was a tiring journey especially mid night flight and I couldn't sleep at all. Anyway, I was safety landing in Osaka Airport yesterday. Then, I took shuttle bus to my apartment which located in Hiyoshigaoka, Kyoto. This is not very far between Kyoto and Osaka, but the journey still took one and half hour and I slept like a pig. From this experiment, I can conclude that bus is more suitable and comfortable sleep than flight. Haha ~~~
Arrangement here were very organise and systematic. A lot people waiting for me once I landing here. The person in charge for my transportation, He was standing and holding with my name card. Then, once I reached my apartment, a guy was sitting at the entrance door and waiting for me only. I can see that he was quite boring that time. XD Anyway, Thanks a lot for their kindness.

Then, I am here to attached some of the photo of my room as below:

#1: my room door - left side is shoe rack, right side is kitchen



#2: my kitchen and fridge that is on the floor




#3: bathroom attach with toilet. not very big but still have a bathtub

#4: this is my room with bed and study table


V1: this is a video where from my room's window look out view.

Once I settle down, of course walked around the city and shopping mood was ON. (My brother will sweat a lot at home and thinking please save my wallet). Haha. Of course I will remember this. Those are my shopping items here:

#5: actually I never thinking of buy this items. You know, my sandal broke in Changi Airport. This was so difficult to get a sandal because all the brand are Soooooo expensive such as Burberry, LV, Gucci and Coach. Haihsss. But at the end, I found out that Chales and Keith was there. Anyway, I dont care already. Then, I chose the cheapest one and bought my first Chales and Keith sandal from Singapore Changi Airport.

#6: The second items that I bought was shoe from Zara. Hmm, actually I was thinking to buy boat. Because of my sandal make my feet very pain once I walking for few hours, then I decided to bought this shoe to change immediate.

#7: my kitchen has all type of kitchen tools but without cup and bowl. =.=''' I tried to search for it in the market. Anyway, I cant find a normal glass type cup and bowl. At the end, I bought both of these item that made from ceramic which look very Japanese style.

OK la.. I think today I stop here today. To be continue soon !! cheersss ~~
