Ko Chang #7 - Farewell



I spent our last night on the island enjoying a dinner with an ocean view. I could just see the sun sneaking under the water before a squall hit.

ガンダム！| Gundam in Bangkok

Image
Between March 7 ~ 11, 2012, there was a special Gundam exhibition at Terminal 21 in Bangkok. (BTS Asoke). I paid a visit and took numerous photos for anime fans. Please enjoy! Main Display: Original Gundam! (about 140cm tall) There was a table set up of amateur "gunpla" -- plastic models of Gundam characters. All entries were Thai, but I was really impressed with some and took photos of the best. Table full of Gunpla: Ready for launch: Nice action!  They look like Charlie's Gundam Angels (laugh): I enjoyed walking around the display area. There were tons of gunpla in glass cases...like this one. I don't want to know the cost... @_@ This exhibition also featured manga, character goods, etc, but again, gunpla was the main attraction. I found a huge box... Oh! And then noticed the price..yes, that does say 21,000 baht! (=¥60,000 / $600) I was looking around for my boyfriend (Char and/or Garuma -- depends on my mood.LOL...

Ikuta Ryokuchi Park - Ikuta Rose Garden

Image
Last week, my travel friend took me to a beautiful garden. As roses are in season, it was the perfect time to for our visit, as this park predominately features roses. Located in Kawasaki City, the garden is easily accessible by train from Tokyo. Garden overview, roses from all over the world: To get to the garden, you can catch an express Odakyu train from Shinjuku, going towards Sagami Ono. Get off at Mukogaoka-Yuen station. From there, walk straight until you see the sign that reads "Bara Road" (bara = rose in Japanese). This road, filled with roses, will lead to you to the park itself. Be warned -- there is a very long, steep, uphill climb to the park's entrance. For those coming by wheelchair, or needing assistance, the front gate staff will escort you to a van and drive you. That service is completely free.  Statue stands over the "Royal Court" of roses; Roses  from English, Holland, France and Japan. This rose garden is run by a group ...

Cooking Japanese

Image
I've been trying to cook some of my favorite dishes from my time in Japan...I guess I miss the taste of my second home.^_^ A friend recommended I try "Omurice" which means: omelet/rice. It's very easy... 1. Make rice. ^_^ // Fry up chicken (in my case, I used sausages), green pepper, onion and whatever else you like to put in an omelet. 2. After the rice is cooked, add ketchup and mix. Add the ketchup/rice to the chicken/veggie mix and stir-fry. [My German friend was really funny when I told her this recipe: "Ketchup?? With rice?!?! Ew!"] (laugh) 3. Make an omelet. Add the rice/stir-fry mix to the middle. Fold around the edges. **Hard part!** 4. Flip the entire thing over onto a plate. It took all my concentration, and I gave myself a little pep talk before the actual "flip". But, success! I did it! Yay! ^_^/ **Bonus** Today is Tanabata in Japan. This translates to "Star Festival". You can read/ see pictures about this special day HERE . ...
