The Rakuten Rouleurs cycling club decided to do the Suruga Bay Tour for Autumn. Suruga Bay is located southwest of Tokyo in between Izu Peninsula and Shizuoka Coastline. It is also the deepest bay in Japan. The starting point for this group ride was in Shimoda station. However, I kind of cowered because when I …
Sakura Avenue Last weekend, I went to the Miurakaigan Cherry Blossoms Festival. I heard about it in our office cycling club and that some members are actually riding. But for me, I went there with my girlfriend in the morning. We left Kawasaki around 9am and probably arrived 10am-ish in Miurakaigan station. The trip itself …
I had no plans for the Obon holidays, but also felt compelled that I needed to go somewhere as spending 3 days at home or just at Kawasaki area seems an overkill. I have only been out Kawasaki twice since I started here. First was when we had dinner with friends, and the second one …
I booked my flight from Manila to Tokyo (Haneda) using a Promo Fare via Philippine AIrlines. This flight is going to be my first flight as an OFW so I wanted to make it as special as possible. I initially wanted to book Singapore Airlines since its services and facilities are superb. However, I also …
For the past months, my weekends were spent just at home or at coffee shops. But this weekend, I decided to join my officemates for a weekend trip at Liw-liwa, Zambales! It was actually my 2nd time to stay at the Circle Hostel. The first time, we join the Aeta Village Outreach. This time around, …
Kenrokuen Garden Gokayama village in winter was probably the highlight of this trip. This was day 2 of our Shirakawa-go Village Winter Illumination 2018 bus tour. Our hotel was at APA Hotel Kanazawa, and we had a great breakfast buffet at Seattle’s Best Coffee. I actually liked their cookies that I had to sneak out …
My girlfriend and I visited Shirakawa-go and Gokayama village under a flurry of fluffy snow flakes. We booked a bus tour trip over the weekend to witness the Shirakawa-go Winter Illumination. It was supposed to be the main event of the tour, but since it was already our 2nd time in Shirakawa-go village, we felt …
Last weekend, the Product and Technology department of OLX Philippines had a teambuilding at Al Fresco Springs in Calamba, Laguna. We used our the January lunch out budget and our cash prize that we won last Christmas party. There was an abundance of food actually and I felt bloated throughout the activity. We were given …
Yesterday, I had the opportunity to watch the Fujitsu Frontiers football game. The Fujitsu Frontiers is an American Football team located at Kawasaki. The JXB Tournament Semifinal Finals was held at the Fujitsu Kawasaki Stadium, just about 20 minutes walk from Kawasaki Station. The game was against the Orbic Seagulls. I could remember when I was …
My girlfriend and I were supposed to have a trip to Tateyama Kurobe Alpen Route. However, the weather forecast over the weekend was so undesirable that we decided to postpone it. So where did we go instead? We visited Rikugien Autumen Illumination! But before that, we did a sidetrip to Hamarikyu Garden. The park itself …
