The garden in a mall? Looks like a green house rooftop garden. Tropical plants can be found here.

Japanese Snack

Japan is such an awesome places.
Not only with all it's Kawaii stuff and decoration, it's local food, culture and buildings does contribute to the country uniqueness.
I love travelling around Japan so much and all the food i tried there is so awesome!! I wish go to back again~

Here are some of the Japanese snack that I find unique and only in JAPAN! haha...


The World Famous Banana - Tokyo Banana
I personally love the original flavour. It smells like banana, soft on the outside and cream on the inside. Good quality come with good price tag. *hehehe*

Original Flavour

Banana Caramel Custard Cream

Hello Kitty Cookies
The packing of this is so adorable... No reason is needed to buy this.

Japanese Mochi
Everyone know Japan is famous for it's mocha and it taste really soft! 
The packaging is so beautiful (suitable to be use as gift) but is quite heavy... (mocha is not light, ok?!)

I found most of these snack in airport. Although the price is not cheap but is worth a try, is after all Only In Japan! 

I am the kind of person that love to travel and would spend most of my money travelling around and on local food (not the luxury food). I believe that you can feel and understand more when you have been there than reading it from the stack of paper. 

When i came back from my Work and Travel USA programme, i literally spent all my earning in the USA but i don't feel bad because i leave my foot print in more than 10 states in America! I'm proud of it. Money is something that you can earn in life but not youth or time. 

I do have friend that have been working for some time but not willing to spend money on travel. He explain that money is hard to earn. (which have completely opposite mind with me, and i cannot understand at all)

What i can say is, different people may have different mind and commitment. We cannot expect others to understand and support us 100% but we just have to be confident on what we are standing for. Life is no regret. 

I'm lucky to have a group of BFFs that love to travel. They are even crazy than me! *Blessed*

They would travel at least once oversea and few local short trip annually! (so how can i lose?? *sibeh kiasu*)

Sometimes we would share our experience and give some guidance/tips for the next person going to the place we visited. 

Moreover, Travel together strengthen our friendship! What's more to ask for?!

First Starbucks Store

First Starbucks Store

Look at the Crowd~ Everyone wanted to buy something from the First Starbucks Store

First Starbucks Store. (i hate the car that park right in front of the store!! spoil all the nice picture)

 Do you miss this Starbucks Logo?

First Starbucks Store

Due to the overwhelming visitor (tourist) to the First Starbucks Store, the store also sell tumblers with it's unique (and extinct) logo and description. 

The First Starbucks Store is located at the Pike Place Market ( not the 1st and Pike Street  store) 

We got confuse a little when we first saw the 1st and Pike Street Starbucks Store, but we finally realise this is not the first store after all.

We can conclude that everyone that visit this Starbucks Store is tourist... Because everyone will buy the mug/tumbler with 'First Starbucks Store' and the most important part of the store is they do not have chair/sofa/coffee table, which is contradict with all the other Starbucks store we know.

Usually, coffee time is relaxing time. We just want to have a comfy seat with quiet environment, enjoy a nice cup of coffee and do some reading. So this place is not that place. But they do sell all the drinks in the menu.....

SO, even without a detective thinking you can also guess all the people here are tourist.. *kiasu tourist*
Must buy a souvenir to prove i have been here. LOL

Oh ya, and must not forget to take a selfie with my drink from First Starbucks Store after the long queue. (100% kiasu tourist, 99% Asian) 
By the way, do u think the drink looks much bigger than the normal size?
