Back at SYD airport
2 de março de 2024, Austrália ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C
It's three hours before and the queue to check in is massive lol. We didn't catch it when they opened but compared to the Qantas automated kiosks, this seems more manual.
After some name scare whenLeia mais
Beijing transit
3 de março de 2024, China ⋅ ☀️ -2 °C
We're at Beijing, which is a massive airport but this terminal has nothing much in terms of food. Some high end shops are open though, even though it's before 8am.
The temperature outside is aLeia mais
At Osaka airport
3 de março de 2024, Japão ⋅ 🌬 9 °C
I forgot discord and Google don't work in China, however funny enough I did get notifications from Google chat, I just couldn't actually access the app. The flight was like three hours, felt likeLeia mais
Pretty good first meal
3 de março de 2024, Japão ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C
Ok so the hotel is kinda far from Kyoto station but quite honestly it was hard to find a place that has a nice bathroom. King bed is nice too. It's close to a bus stop at least! And the hotel isLeia mais
Kyoto botanical garden
4 de março de 2024, Japão ⋅ ⛅ 10 °C
The weather forecast lied. It said it would be warm today but it was coooollld and cloudy. Poor Danny thought it would be warmer but at least I did get him to upgrade his jacket from a thinner one,Leia mais
Curry lunch and gyukatsu dinner
4 de março de 2024, Japão ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C
Lunch was a surprisingly-spicy curry place which offered a shot glass of mango lassi and side salad for just 50yen more. Wanted to go to Kyoto Gyoen but it was just massive grounds and the castle thatLeia mais
Rainy day
5 de março de 2024, Japão ⋅ 🌧 7 °C
It's a rainy and cold day today, max of apparently 9 degrees. We got up a little later than previous day today and after a quick breakfast at the nearby konbini, it was off to the Kyoto Aquarium.Leia mais
Kiyomizudera
5–16 de mar. 2024, Japão ⋅ 🌧 6 °C
Went to Kiyomizudera because apparently we didn't go the last time we were here, and also to visit the pagoda of Koyasu Kannon (for safe childbirth and to get a talisman). This place definitely has aLeia mais
Fushimi Inari Taisha
6 de março de 2024, Japão ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C
Oh man I've been so lazy posting since we left Kyoto lol. Last day in Kyoto was at Fushimi Inari, which was crowded but not as cramped overall as Kiyomizudera. Wondered whether we should go/is touristLeia mais
Gion and last night at Kyoto
6 de março de 2024, Japão ⋅ ⛅ 8 °C
Had warm miso dango and mitarashi dango at Gion which was super nice when it was this cold. Last night in our hotel, will be moving to Osaka tomorrow.
Quiet day at Osaka
7 de março de 2024, Japão ⋅ ⛅ 10 °C
After a quick meal at Yayoi-ken, it was off on the train to Osaka. We were able to check in early at 2pm when we arrived rather than 3pm, and walked around the area for a bit. They have breakfastLeia mais
Osaka castle
8 de março de 2024, Japão ⋅ ⛅ 10 °C
I think we're not using the Osaka amazing pass this time around so we're just travelling around. Revisited Osaka castle, still pretty, didn't go inside though since there's an entry fee and alsoLeia mais
Cat cafe
8 de março de 2024, Japão ⋅ 🌬 12 °C
Time to cheat on our cats! Fairly decent cat cafe, though the owner seems to like patting (with some pressure) their cats on their back near the tail which I'm not personally into. They were allLeia mais
Shittenoji and Dotonbori
10 de março de 2024, Japão ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C
Nice day today, we went to Shittenoji and tried a Michelin bib gourmand soba place along the way but it was a bit disappointing, soba was kinda hard. Had the arabiki/rough type and normal. ThankfullyLeia mais
Osaka station
11 de março de 2024, Japão ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C
This was supposed to be a slow day exploring osaka station and the shopping centre surrounds but honestly it was still tiring for some reason! Even with breaks taken for sitting. Anyway had ourLeia mais
Nara
11 de março de 2024, Japão ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C
Day trip to Nara, though we forgot about the Kintetsu pass and just went via train ic card directly! (Could have saved a little bit of walking by using buses at Nara I think..) It was like a pettingLeia mais
Rainy day Osaka Kaiyukan
12 de março de 2024, Japão ⋅ 🌧 9 °C
It was a rainy day today and we thought we might as well go to the aquarium. Unfortunately, it was so crowded, we really didn't enjoy it that much and while I previously recommended it, I probablyLeia mais
