During my trip to Taipei, we visited Pinglin tea plantation and museum in New Taipei City as well as taking a ride on a gondola in Maokong. We also had a mini tea ceremony tasting out various local teas in a cute little tea house. We booked a half day tour and started off early …
I visited Taipei last January, just a few days before the coronavirus outbreak made its presence known and caused global lockdown. After being busy for while, here I am finally ready to start documenting every interesting finding I found and experienced during the trip. One of my favourite was visiting Beitou in the north of …
Seven months have passed since my last post on this blog. I’ve been busy lately and now that I have some time to spare, I decided to give this blog a fresh look and realised I miss blogging so much! So here’s a little update about what has been going on with life so far. …
Looking back at these photographs, I can’t help but feel a yearning for snow. It was the heaviest snow I’ve experienced in my life so far. Everywhere I looked, it was all white. The snow rose up to more than a knee high. I know Sapporo would be cold in winter but I didn’t know …
Recreating my all time favourite famous portrait paintings just for fun 🙂 I created this illustration series during my month-long break a little while ago. I loovee looking at classic paintings, especially the portraits one. I also loovee pets and bad puns. I decided to combine those three (classic paintings + pets + bad puns) …
It’s only a few hours left before we enter 2020. I cleaned my little home studio today because I want it to be pretty and neat when I wake up in the morning tomorrow. It’s a simple way to motivate myself for the New Year. In case you are wondering, I’m a freelance illustrator and …
Continuing my previous post about the winter trip I had in Sapporo, I think this is the perfect time to reminisce this particular part of the trip because today is the 25th! Anyway, I hope you are having a wonderful time this Holiday season 🙂 Speaking of wonderful, there is really no other way to …
I will never get sick of seeing winter pictures, especially of a city as charming as Sapporo. Compared to Hakodate, Sapporo is way colder but also more lively. The city is bigger and busier as it is the capital of Hokkaido Prefecture and also the 5th largest city in Japan. However, when the snow started …
During my short trip in Hakodate, I visited Goryokaku Park which is a huge star-shaped historical fort built in the last years of Edo Period (1940s). Since it had been snowing all night before, the snow has transformed the whole park into an endless field of white. It is like a view taken out of …
With Christmas approaching, I think it is a good time to share that winter trip I had in Japan. Let’s start with Hakodate, because it’s the first city I stopped by when I reached Hokkaido. Hokkaido is the coldest island in Japan. During winter, most streets, houses and buildings will be covered with snow. The …
