Travel Diary 2.0 (JAPAN)
I was just planning my summer trip to Japan's capital, Tokyo. Japan has been one of the destinations I really look forward to going every holiday. Even though it sound like I've been there several times but I've actually been there twice. These are some of the shopping destinations in Tokyo.
My first time ever was going to Tokyo in the summer; the second time was to Osaka during last years October.
First of all, my trip this time is a shopping based plan. This weekend trip to Japan requires nothing much just a map of Japan's subway (JR), a sense of direction and MONEY.
Destionation 1.0:
Starting at one of the well-known cities in Tokyo, Shibuya.
Shibuya, one of Tokyo's most well known places amongsts tourists, which is known for shopping and experiencing an urban lifestyle of people in modern Tokyo. Shibuya's local shrine, the "Meiji Jingu Shrine". Is well known for its wonderfull sceneries and is built to give to the emperor. Shibuya is known for its "Time square" look. Shibuya's well known for the 109 mall. Where you will find totally everything. Another famous landmark at Shibuya is "Hachiko's statue", a story about a faithful dog.

Destionation 2.0:
Harajuku, known as one of the most interesting spots in Tokyo. Where cosplay and dressing up is such a normal thing. Roaming through the streets of Harajuku, you'll find all these Japanese dressed up in cosplay. Feel free to ask them for a picture; they're nice. There are streets such as Takeshita street where you can shop really authentic Japanese clothes. Including Cat street and Ometosando street.

Destionation 3.0:
The third destination is Tokyo Sky tree a skyscraper in the heart of Tokyo, where there are many little shops in the Tokyo skytree mall. There are shops including acessories and food where you can only find in Japan. The Tokyo Sky tree is the tallest building on earth! From the Sky tree, you can see the view of the whole Tokyo city, both from night time and afternoon. The area has many buildings which allow you to go shopping for the whole day.

One of Japans most famous desert made with cake and banana really easy to find.

2. Royce Chocolate
Royce is inexpensive in Japan, you can find it anywhere including airports and supermarkets.

3. Stationary
Japan's stationary are the cutest of all there are all over but the place. The shops with the cutest stationaries in my opinion would be Loft and Tokyu Hands.

Travel Diary 1.0: India
India has been one of the most interesting places I've ever been to. February 2015, we visited a small part of nothern India, a beautiful and a diverse place called "Himachal Pradesh".
This small city is where the Dalai Lama resides. The town with both a mixture of traditional and modernized lifestyle, is such a beautiful place to spend time enjoying the nature. During the winter it can get as cold as zero degrees.
The journey we took was pretty rough, we rode a train from the New Delhi station to Himachal Pradesh. It was literally an eight hours of boredom train ride. The train ride was followed by a two-hour bus ride. The landscape of Dharamsala was pure nature. The roadside was filled with tall mountains where snow was and the sides were filled with little huts and fields of plants and vegetables.
We arrived at our destination "McLoud Ganj" at around eight p.m.. The city was already dark. Everyone was already hidden in their homes because of the cold temperature that was round about five degrees. We all came down from the bus shivering, finding sweaters and jackets, wherever they were burried deep in the backpack. All of us went running into the town where our "hotel" was (it was literally a two-floor building with many bedrooms). I wasn't able to sleep that night because the heater was not working properly which made our room freezing, feeling like we were outside.
The next day we went on walking tour in town. It was only 15 minutes when we arrived at the Dalai Lama's temple. Unfortunately the Dalai Lama wasn't there :( so we were lead around the temple by a monk there. The temple was located high in the middle of the town. I was totally amazed by all the Tibetan culture. An object I liked the most was this cylindrical prayer wheel, that was engraved by chants alligned throughout the whole temple. By turning around the wheel, Tibetians believe they are chanting. After going into the temple, we went outside to walk the trail around the temple. The trail is filled with Tibetan flags which symbolizes peace, wisdom, compassion and strength. The Tibetans believe if they attached these flags outside and let the wind blow they will emitt positive powers into the atmosphere making people feel positive. The area has a scenery with beautiful snowy mountains and green growing pine trees and giant rocks. After that we moved to another city to Dharmsala.
Dharmsala also has a Tibetan culture site which is called the "Norbulingka Insititute" where they preserve Tibetan culture. There were many shops filled with handicrafts. That whole day we walked around the city and that night we got ready for the next three full days of hiking.
The next day I was forced to wake up at seven in the morning which made hiking wasn't the ideal thing I wanted to do after lazy and tiring days we spent in the city. Our group started off in at the trail right at the coner of where our hotel was. The first few hours of trekking in the forest was not really tiring, we walked past smaller towns high up in the mountains. I was first in the line until we got to the tea garden ... walking up these stairs builts by rocks, ridiculously tiring. I LITERALLY DIED. After eight full hours of trekking we finally arrived at the campsite located on the hill side, from the top what we saw was the whole city.
The next day we hiked up high into the moutains. This day was more adventerous. We went through stone forests. We also walked past an Indian wedding. It was filled with girls in sari, like colors of the rainbow. The camp we stayed was at a higher mountain where we fortunately found snow. This camp had an amazing view of the Himalayas. The campsite had a big snow pile. We literally took a photoshoot at the campsite. That day was one of the best ones I spent in India.The next day I somehow woke up at five in the morning and luckily saw the very beautiful sunrise.
The last day of the trip we went up to one of the tourist sightseeing and visited "Magic view" (or something else). The scenery was amazing. It was such a nice panorama view of mountains, cities and snow. The journey to the top of the mountain was filled with fun adventures such as jumping over rocks and climbing over hills of snow. After coming down from the top, we went back to the first hotel and drove to the train station and rode a night train back to New Delhi.
My experience was filled with joy of seeing one of the unseen places in India. I'll keep updating my Travel Diary :). Ttyl and see ya in "Travel Diary 2.0".

D.I.Y. Cactus Terrarium
Ok, so this is technically my first blog I've ever written so bare with me. Since its my first time this might sound weird and random.
This idea of a D.I.Y. catus terrarium has been a pretty interesting thing for me and I've just been playing around with this idea of making a terrarium. Now I want to show you guys how to.
First things first, the materials list:
- A Cactus or Several Ones, use one of the small and the easy growing cactus.
- A Glass Jar, the size should depend on how many cactuses you want to place in your terrarium
- A Plastic Spoon
- Stones, they can vary in sizes and colors
- Decorative Stones or Minature Models, these stones and models can be useful when there's vacant space on the top of the jar
- Cactus soil (OPTIONAL)
So, after gathering all the equipments needed lets get started!
1. Put rocks into the jar, it should only fill up about half an inch. You can either use small or big rocks depending on the size of the jar you use.
2. Take the small rocks and pour in about a layer of it into the jar, this will help with the water filtration in the jar.
3. Add a layer of smaller stones into the jar, make sure it does not fill up more than half of the jar the layer should be thick enough for the roots of the cactus to fit in (or add in cactus soil instead)
4. Create holes depending on how many cactus you are putting in
5. Make sure fit the roots of the plant into the hole and cover it up with more soil to secure the root, push the soil/pebbles in so the cactus stays firm.
6. After placing all plants put in a thin layer of decorative rocks, make sure to use the small ones after that place on some bigger and more colorful rocks or any minature models to decorate the jar.
Then you're DONE :)
So I hope you guys enjoyed my blog, I'll be sure to try to update it :) see you soon in the next one!
