• Exploring Japan with Family: Part 2 in Tokyo and Sendai

  July 11th: This was our second fluffy pancake day, as well as our family Shibuya/Shinjuku area day! I made a reservation at Flipper’s, which is a chain that’s pretty well-known for their fluffy pancakes. I’ve been meaning to try theirs out, since my family’s had A Happy Pancake, and I figured I’d let my mom…

• Exploring Japan with Family: Part 1 in Tokyo

  July 7th: This was the day I met up with my family in Sapporo to start off our week of vacation! Right after I finished work at 4, I headed to the bus stop, because there wasn’t enough time to go home, rearrange my stuff, and walk to the bus stop before the 4:45 bus…

• Sapporo Diaries: the 2023 Yosakoi Soran

  I’m back in Sapporo on June 10th to go see the Yosakoi Soran Festival this year. It’s an annual festival, and one of the largest and popular in Sapporo, as I believe people from all over Japan will come to perform in it (the list of teams was kind of insane). One of the groups…

• Sapporo Diaries: Hokkaido University’s Culture Festival (Hokudaisai)

  A bit ago, my JTE invited me to go with an English Teacher Association she was in to Hokkaido University’s annual culture festival happening the weekend of June 3. Since the group was taking a bus and that would end up being free, it was like a free trip to Sapporo! Plus, the actual event…

• Sapporo Diaries: A hangout at the Lilac Festival

  I went to Sapporo on May 20th because a friend asked around if anyone wanted to get lunch at a ramen place she found and then hang out at the Lilac Festival that was happening over the weekend. Apparently the lilac is Sapporo’s representative flower, and there’s a whole bunch blooming around Odori Park this…

• Taipei Diaries: Foodie Days and Saying Farewell

  May 5: This day was going to be my Yongkang day. I already knew I wanted to go to Yongkang street because there was a ton of food spots there I wanted to try, and earlier in my trip when I told my grandma I wanted to eat beef noodle, both her and my mom…

• Taipei Diaries: Ximending and Jiufen

  May 2: This day my grandma wanted to bring me to the Taipei train station, not to ride a train, but to browse the food options and the “gourmet” hall they installed there. We were going to finally return to the breakfast place across the street since they were closed the day before, but the…

• Taipei Diaries: Seeing Grandma and Taipei 101

  It’s Golden Week in Japan! What’s Golden Week? You might have read in previous posts that I’ve gone out on weekdays, and that’s because I got the day off since it’s a public holiday. Golden Week essentially is a week in May when there are 3 public holidays in a row (not exactly sure how…

• Sapporo Diaries: Back to the Airport and Solo for a bit, Again

  My boyfriend went to Korea again (to leave the country, again, since his 90 days were almost up), so I accompanied him to the airport on April 22. It’s kind of funny, because a week later he would accompany me to the airport for my Taiwan trip, but I digress… We left home around the…

• Sapporo Diaries: A solo date and reunion

  I went to Sapporo on April 15th because my boyfriend was coming back from Tokyo, and we stayed the night so he doesn’t have to rush back to my place. Plus, it gave us some time to relax and spend some time in Sapporo. April 15th: I got on my usual 7:40 bus to Sapporo,…
