Worship♡

Hello!

I am 25 years old, and this many of my friends are getting married phenomenon has been finally happening to me!

It is an amazing feeling, my friends from high school or even before getting married is like - ...

Literally, I am a mother and my daughters are getting married!

When have they grown so much? I thought they are still little girls!

Kind of feeling.

No I am not married. I am single.

I am constantly reminded.

Anyway.

So I am hoping to be able to attend my friend's wedding in Taiwan later this year!

Taipei this time, and what I am writing about today is my Kaohsiung trip in early May♡

My Townske guide - "Kaohsiung" http://townske.com/guide/14977/gravity-from-wind-turbines

Tripod is always a trouble when getting on airplanes...

I should work my way around!

#SorryNotSorry for talking to people sitting next to me on aircraft always!

I met this incredibly kind man who taught me a lot about Kaohsiung before landing in there.

I didn't know Taiwan is like a tropical island until just before landing in there...

Taiwanese Starbucks was SO pretty!

Apparently they have a much wider range of products than Starbucks USA or Starbucks Japan.

They were so pretty that I wish I could get so many of them!

I love hotel breakfast buffet, why are they necessarily so good?

I like breads. I enjoy eating breads, so much. I don't know why...

I didn't stay at Sheraton, Hilton nor Mariott but this little hotel was so cozy and comfortable...

Kaohsiung was a great place, incredibly kind and friendly people,

Close to the sea and mountains ( didn't get to see one though )

Lots of attractions packed together in the city.

Night Market♡

A huge long avenue filled with food stalls and store advertisers.

At early hours there are more local people and later in nights there were more tourists I viewed.

Central station - Formosa Boulevard station.

Famous for the stained glass ceiling! So pretty♡

I went through this station so many times during my stay!

This place was the main attraction and one of the main destinations in Kaohsiung.

Quickly painted that dragon and tiger in airplane but

I was so relieved that I painted them in the correct order!

I was surprised to see even bigger statues around these two though...

Lotus Pond has so many things to see all the way around it!

Whenever I travel, I always go to a harbor.

I personally really liked Cijin island where I could catch a ferry from one of the harbors in Kaohsiung.

I loove the ferry ride!

I went there specifically for the wind turbines,

however the sunset I got to see was breathtaking!

There were people working out in the park just underneath wind turbines.

I was filming the sun setting for over 30minutes... (haha)

It was a great trip down to the island.

I only got to see the quarter of it but I would definitely love to see the whole island!

Apparently one day isn't enough to explore this island and many tourists come back there over and over again.

I am really happy to have a reason to go back to Taiwan and within the same year!

And am also super happy that my friends are getting happier!

2016 will be an amazing year♡

Thanks for reading!

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. 

The Must Goes In Kanazawa, Ishikawa Pref. Japan

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.

Cafe - Omotesand

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
