My Nara Experience

 My Nara Experience



Oh my. Good lord. The deers. I wish I had known the hand signal for them to go away because I was violated ladies and gentlemen. The thing is when you show them treats, they would attack! I mean, sure they have their horns taken off or something but still, it’s kind of traumatic actually. But! I still enjoyed it. Joke’s on me. 



How cute is this?





I bought two stacks of the biscuits at two different places. They sell for 150 yen each stack and so yeah. 



I actually enjoyed feeding them! Especially those who are just very shy and quiet. Hated when the alphas come because they’re very scary and so entitled! And they come running towards you too! Like, girl, I don’t owe you any snacks! 



You know what? I owe myself a snack. So snacks I should get! 




I also went to this place where the buddha displays are but I didn’t go in. Maybe I should have though but anyways. I remember having a very little time to comply with all of this so...



For all of you who doesn’t know, Nara is actually a place where there are lots of wild deers waiting for treats I guess. What’s special is that they sort of bow down to you as a sign of greeting so yeah, very interesting! I recommend you drop by and give it a look. That’s all! I would definitely go check this place again if given a chance. Thank you!

Universal Studios Japan

 Universal Studios Japan

I mean, can we just appreciate the fact that it’s my first time going to Universal Studios! Like, yas! I have been a fan of Harry Potter as long as I can remember. Actually, I am kind of late in the trend because I’ve only been a fan when I was in second year college. And yes, the year the first Deathly Hollows movie was released. That drew me to it because we all know I didn’t understand much from the movie so I decided to backtrack. Hahaha so anyways. I was hooked since then and man, I know everything now! And I wouldn’t forgive myself if I leave Japan and not experience USJ. And so I went. Actually it’s the main reason I went to the Kansai area. Okay the USJ trip. 












In general, it was not as aesthetically pleasing as Disneyland but it was still beautiful. I guess the gloomy weather made it a little bit gloomier so yeah. 



















The Wizarding World though!!! I liked! And I would definitely go there again just for that! Also to ride the ones that I missed!  














I bought one in this souvenir container and the other in disposable cup.




Hogwarts, I'm home.






Butterbeer!! I had two of these. I should have had five to be honest but it’s not something you’d think if you were living that day because it’s too sweet. 









Slytherin Represent! 








The tita in me was dizzy AF after all the rides and stuff but it didn’t stop me from riding the Hogwarts ride thing twice. It was sooo realistic and it made me really feel that I was in Hogwarts! I liked it. 








Also rode the Flight of Hippogriff! 




KEEPER OF THE KEYS








What I liked about USJ is its Single Rider lane! I mean, going alone is one thing but going alone and waiting in line alone is another so I’m really thankful that I don’t have to wait in line as much as them people with friends. Posting this because I rode this ride with no problem.








FOOD








The food!! It’s actually not soooo good good but it was okay. Three Broomsticks will always be a go to place for me! It’s a little expensive though but okay. 











I wasn’t able to ride everything actually. I think I missed five major rides two of it being closed due to maintenance that day. I should do better! 












At night, the Hogwarts projection thingy happened. It was very nice. Not as magical as Disney’s though but it was beautiful! Also, the parade was cancelled for some reason. I was kind of looking forward to that one because I heard only good things about it. But oh well. Next time! 











All in all I am very impressed with the theme park! I should definitely go again next time with my sisters!  I recommend you go if ever you’re in the area. That’s all!

Sinsekai Experience

Sinsekai Experience






Osaka, you're just stunning. I mean, you're like anime in real life. Okay I know I made it clear that I am not an anime fan but man, whenever I see one, it's always like real life. The places not the people. Although I must say that the Japanese is keeping up. It's scary. 










This is the place I went to after Kobe. 










Awesome! 








Just like what I do in almost every towers I have been to, I try to strategize by going before sunset and seeing both that and the night lights!






So beautiful!




Sunset







The place was awesome. The highest tower was kind of boring but the lower observatory though! That's where the party is at!







Osaka is not a very busy overall but at night it shows all the lights and that reminds you that they may not be loitering and all that but you know, it's alive.






Pink 




Light Blue




Lights on! 




Selfie






It was worth it! I suggest you go because this place is kind of like Dotonbori but on a diet. Also, more funky I would say. See yah!

Hey, Kobe!

Hey, Kobe!
Kobe. I actually didn't plan on going here at first but ended up going last minute because I had the afternoon free. Lucky!








I actually went here to eat Kobe Beef where it really originated but failed because there were a lot of places to choose from so I didn't choose. Ate something else instead.






Kobe is okay.





I heard it's so beautiful at night though but I didn't stay that long because I think I was there around 1-ish and the lights turn on around 5 so I decided not to stick around because I got nothing to do tbh. I'm so sure I'm doing this all wrong though but my first timer self told me to just say goodbye and go.








I was disappointed. I mean, I'm so sure it doesn't supposed to taste like that almost but whatever. 









I was actually supposed to ride this thing but didn't pursue. Nobody else but a couple was in so I was like, nope. Also, they were playing love songs! That would be awkward. Also, as you may have noticed, it was kind of cloudy because it was raining so the view was not that good from below so I don't think it would be much different way up. 










Saw this on my way back to Central Osaka. Oh well. Can't relate. I want to be back here soon! With a better plan of course. I guess that because it's so sudden, I wasn't as prepared as I'd like to be so the places I went to are probably not the places a normal tourist would want to go so...Also, KOBE BEEF. That's all!
