We started planning for our trip to Australia quite early (or I’d like to think so), somewhere in March when we were slated to travel in October. Yep we met up… for a grand total of one time and we were ready to travel with each […]
I told myself I wouldn’t go actively look for another cat cafe when I was in Osaka but I stumbled onto Cat Tail cafe in America Town.. It was a sign that I had to go in. If you only have the cash to go […]
Our friend, D, has this obsession with okonomiyaki. Of course, we had to find her good Okonomiyaki before we leave. Donguri came recommended by friends and our hostel. From its exterior, you probably wouldn’t even know its an Okonomiyaki restaurant. We ordered an appetiser – […]
I flew via Japan Airlines and touched down Osaka Itami airport which was very near Ando Momofuku Instant Ramen Museum! Since I decided to be a smart aleck and forward my luggage on, I made the most out of my time near Itami airport. This […]

If you’re looking for a mobile data option, I’d totally recommend Japan Wireless. I’ve used it twice before. Once in Sept 2014 and another, in May 2015. The first occasion, it was very painless. I had the wireless egg delivered to my hotel and it […]
Me – I’m determined to stretch out my hostel years as far as it goes. I recognise that soon, in a couple of years, I would probably have grown out of communal living. The first time I stayed in Khaosan Kyoto Theater was in September […]
When I was booking accommodation in Osaka this time, I had initially wanted to go with my first choice, Osaka Hana Hostel. The rooms that I wanted (female dorms or private rooms) were fully booked, perhaps two months before our trip. Yes, I am serious. […]
Before my virgin trip to Japan in 2014, I never really wanted to go Japan. I wasn’t into the whole Japanese culture thing, except for the food maybe. Give me Hollywood and Pitch Perfect any day. Anyway, I didn’t even managed to blog anything about […]
