Nara, Kyoto and Osaka, Japan (the better photos are on the bottom part haha)

I've been really busy lately but here are some pictures from my latest trip to Japan. Math classes have been giving me a headache and seeing these help me chill out a bit. Maybe they can give you the same effect :)

Isn't spring just gorgeous?

I thought it was some photoshopped thingo when I first saw it as our
computer's wallpaper years ago, but the Golden Pavilion is real!

Where tea used to be held in

Older than over 12 generations of my family. That tree is ancient!

Wishes for the gods anyone?

Kyoto

The famous Todaiji

Deer can be unseeingly greedy, I tell you.

A beautiful peak of one of Japan's temple, Nara. It was quite
rainy that name.

The Japanese Zen Buddha, so simple yet so awesome.

a guardian of one of the temples, fierce to keep spirits away

Night + Sakura =breathtaking view of spring

Not a real geaisha, they only come out at Gion starting around 6 in the evening.
 I guess there was a place offering a geisha makeovers though

traditional wares but crazy price

A couple walking around the outside of
Osaka castle in kimono's, they apparently just finished a photo shoot

I found this lovely lady outside a restaurant in Gion

The cupcake one is my favorite.

Buds, pretty buds 

Sakura against the night light

I thought I'd never see these on actual soil!

Sakura before they turn to buds, I think...

Power pink sakuras anyone?

Flowers :)

Owls for sale, they sorta remind me of Errol from harry Potter

Cool iphone cases

a taste of the chill side of Japanese fashion

Modern Japanese fashion are famous for their knitwear

Found these vintage-y bottles in a store full of knick knacks

I could use one on the weekdays

I bought the light blue one butI want everything here

Useless to me but so adorable

Vintage-y knick knacks

Made In China Sketches

Just a few sketches I made while sitting around Xiamen :D

The girl was supposed to be doing a fifth position

What my hair supposedly looks like. Btw,
she is holding a necklace

The details of the seaside couldn't be seen with the regular sizes so excuse it going over the borders.

The harbor, complete with the little speedboat on the left

The view outside my hotel room. The bushes under the fences aren't that clear. The fences were done using one way perspective and was hell! 

Amusing Typos

I've been in China last week, and I will be traveling around unable to post accessories until further notice. meanwhile please enjoy some wrong grammar that have made the past few days a little more amusing 

It took a few seconds for me to realize that it meant anti-slip

My brother's apparent favorite. 

For the sake of your safety, please hang up after
to used.
It meant the hairdryer

Midweek Post: Old Restaurant

Last weekend, my family went over to this restaurant which was a renovated house turned food place that reflected on local culture. Food was okay, except that I felt I was food-tasting most of the time. I couldn't finish their desert though and their peanut butter hot cocoa doesn't taste weird at all. We took a tour up on the fancier rooms but we weren't allowed to stay up for so long (clingy waiters made sure of that). So here are some pics

Lovely light fixture really :)

It has a rather old fashioned feel to it with a modern twist because of
chairs and painting

Different Lightings

Before I lose another caboose of thought, I'd like to thank Erika L. for lending some her stuff for this post. As promised, I will post them here but I'm sorry to say, I couldn't a descent photo for all. I guess my skills need work. By next week, my summer "triathalon" will begin, wish me luck as I juggle my activities. Hope everyone's having fun,

These keys are actually brass colored, the lighting just makes it
look 5 and a half shades darker.

Don't you just adore the jungle theme? 

The lighting does wonders for its behind. Sounds wrong but it does give
it a more dramatic touch.

I twirled the necklace then this shot came out, sunsets are truly lovely (if not
annoying when you're using them with sequin items.

P.s. might be traveling soon so my weekend posts might be occasionally off timing.
