Sweet Potato Sweets in a Christmas mood❤️🎅🏻
#2024mapped
Christmas-spec parfait and pudding a la mode offered at & OIMO TOKYO CAFE Nakameguro, a sweet potato sweets cafe❤️
The most popular item is the Mont Blanc parfait, a well-balanced dish of honey potato paste with a beautiful golden color and sweet and sour cassis!
Crumble and meringue also appear as you continue eating, adding a nice crunchy accent.
We also recommend Pudding a la mode, a gorgeous visual pudding with rich pudding, ice cream, whipped cream, and strawberries!
It is recommended to come early on weekends because it gets crowded.
On this day, we arrived at 11:00 when the shop opened.
I was able to spend some time at leisure. ☺️

🇳🇱A great way to see the beautiful Canals of Amsterdam🇳🇱
#magicalxmastrip
We loved this experience in Amsterdam, it was not only relaxing but also very educational as the tour guide mentioned some historical stories/ information about places we were passing by or seeing. The weather was also beautiful so that added to the beauty of it all.
We got our tickets in advance as we didn’t want to be disappointed in case the ride was full and it was, glad we got tickets and everything went smoothly!
The views of the houses by the canals were just so so stunning! We couldn’t stop looking at it as every turn of the cruise opened up to another canal, beautiful bridges and gable houses🇳🇱👍

Spectacular views in Porto, Portugal🇵🇹
#2024mapped
Lisbon is the most famous city in Portugal, but Porto is another city that should not be missed.
I also visited Porto by bus from Lisbon.🚌
Porto, the second largest city in Portugal, has been selected as a World Heritage Site as the "Historic Centre of Porto," and is a fun city to walk around.
The first photo is Igreja do Carmo (Carmo Church).
It is decorated with one of the largest and most beautiful azulejos in the country!
I personally liked Porto better than Lisbon because of its relaxed atmosphere. I will definitely go back again!

Godly Himalayan reflections ❤️
The view of the Himalaya from Pokhara, Nepal 🇳🇵 is just astounding, and the reflection in the lake is just unforgettable.
Everyone should see the Himalaya, whether from Nepal or China at some point in their lives.
I swear I’ve ever seen something so beautiful. Next time I’ll be on Tibet side just to compare, and I’m sure it will be just as pretty.
Go and give them some love.🧡#nepal #himalaya #trip #reflection #lake #nature
🇳🇱When in Amsterdam You Have to Have Cheese🇳🇱
#magicalxmastrip
We ventured to the north to Zaandam, a charming town nestled in the Zaanse Schans neighborhood of the Netherlands. This picturesque area feels like an open-air museum, showcasing the rich traditions of Dutch culture and craftsmanship.
My first stop in Zaandam was the Cheese Farm de Catharina Hoeve, and it exceeded all my expectations. I had never encountered such a vast array of cheeses in one place! The farm offered a delightful experience, allowing visitors to taste an impressive selection of cheeses. From creamy Gouda to rich aged varieties, there was something for every palate. I indulged in sampling the different flavors, each bite more delicious than the last. The enthusiastic staff shared insights about the cheese-making process, adding to the charm of the visit. It was a fantastic introduction to the culinary delights of Dutch culture, and I left with a newfound appreciation for their artisanal cheeses.

One day this summer, I went to Enoshima (Kanagawa Prefecture) with friends to spend some time.

Wat Intharawat (Wat Ton Kwen)
Wat Intharawat, also known as Wat Ton Kwen, in Chiang Mai is truly a hidden gem! I recently had a photo shoot there, and it was an unforgettable experience. The temple’s serene beauty and traditional Lanna architecture are absolutely captivating.
Right in front of the temple, there’s a shop that rents Lanna costumes – the only one in the area. The rental fee includes hairstyling and dressing assistance, although makeup is not included. Wearing the traditional attire really enhances the experience and makes for stunning photos that capture the essence of Lanna culture.
I highly recommend hiring the photographer as a solo traveller. The prices are more than reasonable. If you’re planning to visit, don’t miss the chance to immerse yourself in the beauty of this temple. And, of course, make sure to dress in traditional Lanna attire for memorable and beautiful photos!

🇳🇱Roaming Amsterdam by Tram🇳🇱
#magicalxmastrip
Riding Tram No.4 through Amsterdam is a delightful way to explore the city, especially as it whisks you to the charming Jordaan district. This vibrant neighborhood, with its narrow streets and quaint canals, invites you to wander and discover hidden gems. As I strolled through Jordaan, I couldn’t help but admire the beautiful gabled houses and cozy cafes and restaurants.
I also visited Frederiksplein, where scenes from The Fault in Our Stars were filmed, adding a touch of literary magic to my journey. The atmosphere here is both lively and serene, making it a perfect spot to stroll.

Sauna Activity - Kanto Edition
Sauna: 10 minutes × 2
Cold Shower: 1 minute × 2
Rest: 10 minutes × 2
Total: 2 sets
Open-air Bath: 15 minutes
Wow... I had an incredible experience.
It was so amazing that I forgot I was in Japan.
I went to a hotel with a sauna for the first time 🥰
⭐️ Highlights ⭐️
① Available for non-hotel guests✨
Day-use bathing available after 3 PM on weekdays for ¥1600
② Women have a mist sauna, men have a dry sauna.
Honestly... I underestimated it.
I thought, 'How hot can a hotel sauna be?' I want to apologize for my skepticism.
No, no! It's seriously hot!!
The mist sauna room was 48°C, and the mist was so thick that my vision was blurred.
After 10 minutes, I was sweating non-stop. It was hot.
③ The sauna is great, but the open-air bath is even better.
Is this really Japan...? I felt like I was transported to a resort in Phuket, Thailand.
The open-air bath was huge and had a resort-like atmosphere.
The indoor bath was also large.
With stylish music playing, it was a perfect time to relax.
④ All the amenities smelled amazing. I wanted to take them home in bottles.
⑤ The bathroom was clean and stylish!!
If I had to mention one downside, it would be the lack of a cold bath 🤔
But the cold shower can substitute for it, so it's not a problem.

Sha Tau Kok! Exploring the Interplay of Sea, Mountains, Geology, Islands, Sun, and Moon.
During my recent trip to Sha Tau Kok Pier, I had the incredible opportunity to experience the mesmerizing art installation "Interwoven Horizon" by the multi-disciplinary artist En Iwamura from Japan. This captivating creation beautifully intertwines the elements of the sea, mountains, geology, islands, sun, and moon, creating a harmonious fusion of art and nature. As the installation leisurely floats in the sea near the pier, it serves as a visual symphony against the backdrop of the breathtaking natural landscape. En Iwamura's work is a testament to his deep connection with nature, drawing inspiration from the surroundings to highlight the intricate details of the landscape and geological formations near Sha Tau Kok. The interplay of natural colors in his art adds a touch of magic to the already stunning scenery. Exploring "Interwoven Horizon" was a truly immersive experience that allowed me to appreciate the beauty of the environment in a new light, merging artistic expression with the wonders of nature. It was a journey that left me in awe of the intricate ties that bind the elements together in perfect harmony.

Amsterdam's iconic architecture is a captivating blend of history and innovation, reflecting the city’s rich cultural heritage. The narrow, gabled houses that line the canals are perhaps the most recognizable feature, showcasing a unique style that dates back to the 17th century.

Visiting the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam was an unforgettable experience that deepened my appreciation for art. The moment I stepped inside, I was surrounded by the vibrant colors and emotional depth of Van Gogh's masterpieces.

From the iconic "Starry Night" to the delicate beauty of his flower still lifes, I felt a profound connection to the artist's vision.
As I wandered through the exhibits, I was struck by the sheer beauty of his work, which is even more breathtaking in person. The museum itself is a stunning tribute to his legacy, creating an atmosphere where art and emotion intertwine.
Before leaving, I couldn’t resist purchasing a few souvenirs—prints of my favorite pieces and some unique memorabilia. These treasures will always remind me of this inspiring visit and the timeless beauty of Van Gogh’s art.

Delicious Sliced Noodles Next in Line
Also one of Daegu's Top Ten Delicacies
Seomun Market is quite large, stretching across
The sliced noodles form a street of their own
One stall next to another, forming a row
Finally attracted by the Red Bench stall
Red benches scattered beside the independent stall
Along with the steaming noodle stall
Auntie busy scooping noodles and preparing ingredients
Foodies casually sitting, shouting their orders
This atmosphere and scene are full of stories
But the market auntie doesn't know English
I had to observe how the locals order
Found out this stall only sells sliced noodles
Haha, that makes it much simpler
Happily went to the auntie, gestured 1 with my finger
Auntie nodded and pointed to the seating area
One person, two chairs, one as a table
The sliced noodles in water, quite good-looking
Clear soup noodles with greens, chili oil, and scallions
Sprinkled with white sesame seeds for added color and aroma
A side dish of spicy kimchi is a standard
Stirring while it's hot, served a bowl
The broth is clear and sweet, the white noodles are delicate
This bowl of sliced noodles may not be extraordinary
But like our market's plain noodles
Always a bowl of delicious, never-tiring food
Eating while experiencing the old market culture
Thinking about what to eat next
