It’s Day 4 in Tokyo. Today, I would be moving my “barang barang” (belongings) to Hakone, a hot spring town located about two hours’ train ride from Tokyo. Check out this post if you like to include a mountainous destination not too far from the very busy and populous Tokyo. I highly recommend Hakone as a destination because it offers […]
I’ve been given the opportunity to try a new anti-aging treatment – FACESTIM – that focuses on firming the skin using both radiofrequency and muscle contraction. Having gone through two treatments thus far, I am keen to share everything you need to know about this treatment that literally gives your face a little workout. If you like a no-downtime and
Singapore Zoo has been ranked as top attractions in Singapore by many. Is it really worth visiting? Should you spend your precious time and money visiting a zoo on foreign land or even as a local? I have the answer for you as I’ve just visited the Singapore Zoo. The last time I’d been there was at least a decade
Hey all, I’m back with Day 3 (PM) itinerary. Having spent the morning exploring Ginza, I was back at my base in Akihabara – a place known for its electronics shops and Otaku culture. I would be doing a bit of shopping and lots of eating in Akihabara. In fact, you’ll see me savoring the best Tonkatsu I’ve had in my
This was my final day based out of Akihabara, and my plan was to shop around Ginza and Tokyo Station.

I couldn’t believe how cheap Chifure Lipstick S was when I saw it in my trip to Okinawa. It was elegantly displayed alongside other well-known Japan brands such as Shiseido, Kanebo and Integrate. At ¥350 (before tax) for a Japan-made lipstick, Chifure Lipstick S was unarguably a steal. I couldn’t resist the temptation and grabbed two – one for me and
After a fruitful morning enjoying the sights at Asakusa, we are moving on to Ueno to see what this district offers. Ueno, an area located in the same NE region of Tokyo (and near my base in Tokyo) is definitely worth visiting if you enjoy park, temples and street food. Before we proceed to Day 2 (PM) itinerary, read these
Hey there, check out Day 2 of my Tokyo travel! You’ll see me splitting my time equally between Asakusa and Ueno districts, both of which are located near where I stayed in the North-eastern part of Tokyo (@Akihabara). To be honest, I was surprised to find myself having so much fun in Asakusa, a place I’d initially contemplated skipping. Before
Yay! I’ve finally completed another solo trip, this time to Tokyo, Japan. Check out my 9 Days Tokyo Itinerary and see the popular places I’ve visited such as Shinjuku, Shibuya and Asakusa. I also did a short trip out of Tokyo and spent 3 great days in Hakone, a beautiful onsen resort town. In this Tokyo travel series (of which
Do you often break out from using BB cream? If you do, check out Media BB Cream as it has been proven to be safe on my pimple-prone skin. I like it so much I’ve repurchased this every time I visit Japan or Taiwan. As you see, I’d never had much luck with BB cream. Most of them caused me
