Travel guide

Hello the world!
I haven't forgetten about my blog, just that... 
(I  forget the password all the time and I cannot log into this account very often),
what a horrible blogger am I!
But I feel so insecure if I set a really easy password!
So my password usually goes like G82hlx4Rdl08DaMwU38X and there is no way I can remember all of them (true story, sometimes above plus ^#$&*;+ ...).

Anyway.
I just wanted to write about how I have joined this incredible travel website Townske to write about travel guide and tips.

I haven't even written about my Kanazawa trip on here yet, but I have summerized my trip in one article and wrote about recommendation so if you are interested in the old Japanese traditional culture and traveling to the art town Kanazawa- please check it out. 



I also simply write about the trips on wordpress
http://annakirishima.wordpress.com as well!
I post more photos on it, if you are interesed.


I personally have decided to go traveling once a month, or at least every second month on a weekend.
I will definitely update my Townske, blog or instagram so please stay tuned if you are interested in seeing my perspectives while traveling.

I shall be mostly traveling within Japan this year,
Most definitely traveling to - Kanagawa, Yamanashi, Hiroshima, Kagoshima,
Mie... and - Thailand. Hopefully USA too but not sure.

Really wanting to go to Cuba, and Singapore again.
Australia? Hm, if I go I won't be able ever leave there! *homesick*

Besides travel, I will be writing a lot about cafes in and outside of Tokyo.



The first Cafe article was on Harajuku - Omotesando.
I hear a lot of people traveling to Japan again this year or sometime soon.
Hopefully my blogs will be an useful information even though I am not the master of Tokyo at all.


There are certainly beautiful places in Tokyo and I would be happy for you to find out about them.
I will do big travels too this year but also will be exploring more of the Tokyo 23 wards.

I want to explore... Tennozu Isle, Iidabashi (Suidobashi, Nihonbashi),
Zoshigaya, Sumida, Shiodome, Ginza... and writing a proper guide of Yokohama ( My home town! ) again.


Kanazawa was an incredible travel destination.
I am not sure if the entire city of Kanazawa is like that or only some part of it is but
someone who has spent a long time in Kanazawa has told me that
the local people in Kanazawa hated to fight, and they knew that if they don't fight, the enemies wouldn't be invading their castle either, so they trained to perform and produce art or craft works more than fighting, but they were still worried about someone entering the castle so they made the interior of the castle like a maze.

And that's how Kanazawa has become an interesting, art and entertainment oriented city.

It was a very peaceful and laid back city.
Everywhere we went, we saw a street full of galleries and art shops.
Small city, a lot of entertainment.

Thanks for reading my blog again, I just fixed my password today so hope I can log in easily next time!

Love

Anna

2016

Happy New Year!
Welcome 2016♡


No matter how hard the time could get,
in the end of the day, I always get to experience and feel someone's kindness.
It always makes everything I go through a day worth it.

I have been feeling this over the past number of years.



Hello!

I was back home for the New Years.

I wouldn't make this simply my diary of New Years,
I would rather want to track the color of the sky and water I have seen over the 2 days.


Hello a stretching man!

I liked his silhouette though, personally.
He might have felt really awkward having someone taking photos of him stretching for...
good 20 minutes.


First sunset of the year♡
I fell deep in love♡


Super early in the morning.
It was simply amazing.

It's like the time everything starts moving, getting back to a life.
It is the time of dawn when the sky is too bright for the stars to shine but too dark for the moon not to glow.


2nd of January 2016,
it was so warm and comfortable standing on the mountain.

The sunrise was a sheer grace and it did promise me a soft, tender year full of love and warmth.

And that got me totally determined,
to... this year, I will turn off my phone and chuck it in the drawer on the weekends.
It is written as a definition of "Day off" in the dictionary too.


I don't feel like anything has ended and started all over.
I would say... R.I.P. 2015, I needed you once, but I left you to move on.

2016 is like a stable boyfriend to me ( I know nothing about it yes ).
But I got this feeling that it will be flowing smoothly through the history
after having the most dramatic year - 2015... well it's just my feeling, though.

What a warm beginning of the year.
I might write "throw back to new years day" diary sometime later this year.

But for now, happy new year and I wish all of your 2016 be full of love and blessings.
Love, so much love.
