I don’t get to travel as much as I used to, but all travel posts go here!
One week ago, I talked about seeing snow in Beppu even though it’s more well-known for its onsens (aka, there’s a lot of heat). During the week, I had about 3 tests, and didn’t really have time to blog. Now that my excuse is out of the way, on to part two! In Beppu, one thing… Read More To Hell and Back (Beppu Part 2)
After my cousin’s guest post and enthusiastic recommendation of Beppu, I recommended to my family that we go there as well. While they were rather hesitant (since there’s nothing but onsen there, apparently), well, I was the one making arrangements. Except for hotel bookings. My mom did those because if I booked the hotel (which… Read More Baby it’s Cold Outside (Beppu Part 1)
Ok, last post of the year, let’s see if I can finish my Aso by Train series. If you didn’t see the earlier posts, I talked about getting from Hakata to Aso Farmland, and from Aso Farmland to Mount Aso earlier. Today, I’m going to talk about getting from Aso Farmland to Shirakawa Spring, from… Read More Aso by Train Part 3: To Shirakawa Spring, Kumamoto Castle and Back to Hakata
NaNoWriMo is over, I’ve won and I went on a really awesome trip with my aunt and uncle! We went back to Aso, Kumamoto, and since I can’t drive, we basically had to rely on the train. Since I was told that you basically need a car to get around Kumamoto, I figured that I’d… Read More Aso by Train Part 1: Aso Farmland
Hey everyone! Sorry for being even more MIA than usual. NaNoWriMo has me in its thrall, and I took a five day holiday last week sooooo rushing to catch up on word count now. On the bright side, I have a whole series of travel posts coming up. There’s this guest post by my oh-so-awesome… Read More Guest Post by Joanna: Beppu – Welcome to hell
Other title of this blog post: My cousin comes to visit! But no matter how I thought about it, all I wanted to share were cute photos of the animals. After all, I’ve already written about Nokonoshima and the owl cafe many times (links lead to search results) and there are only so many times I can… Read More Animals, Cute Animals Everywhere!
My book review of A Geek in Japan reminded me that I wrote a review of Ghibli Musueum. Once, a long time ago (so about two years?) for another site. Unfortunately, I can’t find that site (if you do know what site it is, please let me know!), but I did save a copy of… Read More Mitaka Ghibli Museum Review
I LOVE ASO FARMLAND. I should make this much clear at the start. I wasn’t browsing about tourist spots in Kyushu and say “hey, this looks good”, I always intended to visit. And since they had this strawberry picking promotion/stay, I figured it was now or never. Yeah, this is on my list of “must… Read More Aso Farmland
I just came back from four days of travelling – two days in Nagasaki and two days in Kumamoto. So, as I always do after every trip, here’s a recap. Basically, I went to Nagasaki for the Lantern Festival. And because part of my reason for living in Kyushu is to re-visit all the places… Read More Nagasaki Trip (A sort-of guide)
