Japanese supermarket
April 3, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C
Of course we couldn't leave Japantown without going into a Japanese supermarket - and of course we couldn't leave without food... We promised we would stop for a few hours, which will probably work, as we are actually full after eating our boxes of fresh sushiRead more

Kinokuniya bookstore
April 3, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C
This cool bookstore we have found inside the East Mall in Japantown. It was full of beautiful and funny and cute books, magazines and all sorts of stuff, I wanted to buy them all, but I managed to only buy some magnets in the end.Read more

Tesla shop

Looking in a tesla store and sadly discovering that you can only test drive with a US driving licence. We still got to sit in and play around with a model 3

Bagbnb
April 3, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C
A new website we just discovered and used is called bagbnb, where you can find places to drop your bags off for cheap. Most of them seem to be hotels where you have a receptionist hanging out anyway, so it's good money for the hotel, and quite cheap for us!Read more

First breakfast
April 3, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 10 °C
We stopped to look in at the Filipino restaurant next to the train station that we walked past before. We left with Thai ice tea and some deep fried sugar coated bananas (we thought they were spring rolls...)Read more

Jetlag afternoon
April 2, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C
So our only plan after getting to our airbnb was to somehow stay away until the evening, so that our internal clocks are set to local time. This meant staying up until 5-6 in the morning by eu time, which was not the easiest as we already woke up at 5... My brilliant idea was to start at the Mission District, which is not really at the centre of town, and then walk into the centre from there. Which started out fine, we had some nice Mexican food, saw some cool murals and houses. But then the walk to town started, and it was some of the dodgyest neighbourhoods we have ever walked through, the streets full of homeless people, druggies, crazies and a random combination of the three - not the best first impression of the city I must say... In the end we made in to union Square, which was a bit more interesting and nice. We also saw our first cute tram too.Read more

Layover at Heathrow
April 2, 2018 in England ⋅ ⛅ 9 °C
We didn't even have to leave terminal 5,and it still looked like the biggest airport I've seen, and we had to take a train to our gate as well... Thankfully it was only for 2 hours, which went by fast mostly by getting from one plane to another. It look like we'll be flying on a Boeing 747-400 ,which looks like a beast!Read more
