First Trial Kid-O-Kid


I’ve been curious with this place since we moved to Japan a year ago. Turned out Musa tried this indoor play area when we didn’t plan it. I think by applying the fee formation they’re having now, they target the visitor with little kids to pick “one day pass” plan.

1100 yen for the first 30 minutes (600 yen for kid and 500 yen for adult or kid’s caregiver) VS

1700 yen for all day playing (1 adult and 1 kid)

Which one are you going to choose?

Trip to Indonesia 2017


Aisar says since we’re in Japan now, which is much closer than USA to Indonesia, at least we should aim to have annual trip to home country twice. Haha, nice idea. We can spoil our tummy more often 😛

Tidak lama setelah kembali dari mudik saat pergantian tahun 2016 ke 2017 kemarin, sepulang dari first trip to Europe, sekitar mid-Februari, kami sudah booking tiket untuk mudik berikutnya di musim panas 😀 Dengan estimasi akan menggunakan seluruh masa liburan Obon, semacam liburan musim panasnya Jepang untuk yang sudah bekerja (alias bukan anak sekolahan), yang diperkirakan sekitar seminggu ditambah cuti sebelum atau setelah masa itu, waktu cari tiket pesawat pun kami belum saklek menentukan tanggal. Prinsip “cari yang paling murah” jadi yang terdepan karena Musa udah harus bayar tiket 😦 Bye-bye maskapai Jepang yang oke punya buat urusan perbayian.

Ketemulah sebuah rute via Vietnam yang nongol dengan harga cuma $300 untuk PP! Murah parah, kan? Berarti sekali jalannya nggak sampai dua juta rupiah. Bisa aja kalo rajin mantengin travel fair-nya Garuda dapat harga segitu kaya teman saya, mbak Lia, yang dapat 1,9 juta one way. Meskipun nggak pernah ada keinginan ke Vietnam, tapi dengan pilihan yang ada di mana kami harus transit di sana semalam, tertarik juga akhirnya kami ambil tawaran itu. Singkat cerita, kami harus merogoh kantong lagi untuk check-in hotel dekat bandara baik ketika berangkat maupun kembalinya. Ternyata setelah dijalanin… MAU LAGI ah transit di sana. Makanannya enak-enak dan murah :)) Jangan salah, kami sih liburan emang yang nomor satu kulineran, baru yang lain semisal pergi ke tempat wisata kalo masih ada kesempatan dan modal aja. Hihihi.

Country Trip to Mother Farm


I would say again and again that.. we looooooooove farm so much much much! I wasn’t animals lover until I had kid and realized that they are as cute as “Old Mc Donald Had a Farm” song.. Haha. We enjoyed some visits to the farms in Michigan, made lots of memories of fruits picking and animals petting, and last trip to Hokkaido we also had one awesome experience in Earth Dream farm. Today we finally managed to go to the famous farm (they use the term “牧場” alias “cattle” instead, whatever.. ) in Kanto area: Mother Farm. Much effort to reach the location, but all was very well paid once we spent a day to explore the view and attractions inside the cattle. Three of us had a blast! Continue reading

Catching Adachi-Hanabi Before Another Trip to Indonesia


Summer is time for fireworks!
And if you ever happened to see fireworks in Japan (called “hanabi”), I tell you that it’s THE BEST!
Hanabi season usually starts at July when summer vacation for students is ongoing, then continues in a row during August in which obon yasumi (considered as summer holiday for the companies) also takes places. Being sponsored by the government across the country, it’s often said like a moment to show the prestige of each organizer (aka city holder) and an attempt to put the proud of the residents’ hearts since their taxes also contribute to this exhibition 😀

Okay, so because of our plan to visit Indonesia (aka “mudik”) in August, we looked for the chance to see hanabi beforehand. We finally went to this No.2 Famous Tokyo Fireworks last Saturday (2017/07/22) and captured almost full-time show either in videos and pictures while persuading a 2-years-old toddler who was getting scared to all those explosion sounds :))
