Bye Piggy / Hello Year of the Rat (ﾉ´ヮ´)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

Happy Lunar New Year! I was planning to have this post out for the New Year but got a little distracted~ It has been super hot but fun-filled hanging out with my friends and family while trying to stay cool. The bush fires here in Australia were not fun as I had to cancel my road trip, but I'm glad we did get some rain although in Canberra they had huge hail which came smashing through the glass... 
2020, another decade has gone by and so much has changed in my life on so many different levels and aspects. As we ring on the new year, like many, we all have goals we want to accomplish and achieve so here are a few of mine relating to my health, career and personal interest. 

Universal Studio Japan 🎠 // Purchase your Express Ticket

Universal Studios Japan (USJ) is always on the top of my "to go" list whenever I'm visiting Osaka, Japan as I love going to theme parks and playing on the rides. The last few times I went to USJ I would book my theme park tickets prior to travelling to Japan as I didn't want the hassle of queuing up early on the day to purchase the 1 Day Studio Pass and Express 7* pass which are limited for purchase each day. 

Otaku Time // Anime Autumn 2019 🍂

Almost two weeks into Spring here in the Southern hemisphere and its still a little chilly down under. I haven't been blogging as much as I've been caught up with work and family~ 
Before I go ahead there is one anime that I have been loving and it's Demon Slayer (NOT Goblin Slayer, it's a completely different series! If you haven't watched it yet I recommend getting on that band wagon! 

Charlie & Franks // Cafè ▪️ Coffee ▪️ Catering ☕

A few weeks ago I went out to Charlie & Franks for brunch at their newest branch located in St Leonards with a few other foodies. The cafe is hidden away from the busy highway traffic with plenty of outdoor seating's perfect to bring along your furry friend. 

A short food trip to Nagoya 🍣 🍨

En-route to Toyko from Takayama, we decided to spend half a day in Nagoya, which is the largest city in the Chubu region and is the capital of the Aichi Prefecture located on the Pacific coast. Once we got to the station we were surrounded by massive shopping centres connected all around the station. I even found an official Studio Ghibli store so I had to check it out and purchase some merchandises. After shopping my friends and I went our separate ways and split into two groups, the group that continues shopping at Nagoya station and my group, where we were on the hunt for good food! Food is always my priority, which is why Ardi, Florence and I took the train and travelled two stops away to Hisayaodori for fresh sashimi and sushi! 

MORI BUILDING DIGITAL ART MUSEUM - TEAMLAB BORDERLESS REVIEW 🎡

The most popular and interactive digital art museum in Tokyo, Mori Building Digital Art Museum - Teamlab Borderless, has attracted attention worldwide and was on the top of my "To do" list when visiting Tokyo this time round. The museum was created between Mori Building and TeamLab where the interactive artworks have no border separating them from one another and some even extend beyond their own zone and into corridors to create a new experience for visitors which can only be found at this museum.
