Hi,

           it’s Jacqueline's time!!

Today, I’m going to share the experience of visiting the famous temple in Tokyo, Japan on November 18, 2017.

Sensō-ji is one of the most famous temples in Tokyo. There are thousands of tourists come to the temple every day. Also, there are many Japanese will wear the traditional Japanese uniform and come to the temple to pray for their fortune

Transportation:

At 1:00 pm, we arrived at the subway station of the temple. We could see the front of the temple which called Sensō-ji, as we followed by the crowd.  

There were so many people on the street that they all walked toward the temple.

There were also some lady wore the traditional Japanese uniform.

the Entrance

On the entrance of the temple, there was a lantern in the red Japanese traditional style. There were some dragon patterns carved under the lantern.

As we walked, there were more and more people that they were shopping at the stores on both sides of the street. There were many stores that visitors could buy souvenirs such as, key chains, pen, traditional Japanese uniform, pets' clothing with Japanese old traditional characters, the Japanese snack, and so on.

As a foodie

I bought an ice cream in matcha flavour, which was one of the most famous Japanese tastes.

the Second Entrance

Walking about 20 minutes in the crowd, we saw another entrance which almost the same as the one we passed. There was another lantern hung, which was smaller than the first one.

the Main Building

After we passed the second entrance, we finally met the temple's main building. There were many people from all around the world; they spoke German, Korean, Mandarin, Spanish, and so on..

For people who were Buddhist, there were many amulets that they could buy. People believed that they could protect and help them in some ways. Each amulet had its power in many parts of the life such as, getting healthy, getting wealthy, passing exams, getting good marks, and so on.

I had bought the one which was passing exams and getting good marks.

Which one would you like to buy?

Here is the official website of the temple:

Hi, it’s Jacqueline!!!

Today, I’m going to share about the Day I Spent in Japan Disney Land on November 17, 2017.

I have shared my experience in the Tokyo Disney Sea on my last blog. Today,  I'm going to share the day that I spent in the Tokyo Disney Land with my mother on November 17, 2017.

As I mentioned about the blood-pressure problem of my mom in my last blog, this blog will not focus on the amusement equipment in the park too.

We arrived the Disney Land at around 10:30 am. 

As we passed the entrance, there was a shopping area with lots of stores on the sides.

The decorations in the windows were incredible perfect. A giant Christmas tree was in the middle on the ground as the Chrismas was on the future month.

The food inside of the park was attractive and delicious! 

Each part of the park had its theme, the theme store, the theme restaurants, and the theme snack bars. We had our lunch in the Star War restaurant, the sausage in the Donald Duck snack bar, and the dinner in the Mikey restaurant.

There were many parades and shows in the park

As we arrived the park at 10:30 am, we had watched:

a show of the theme of  Frozen

a parade of all the Disney character at the noon

a small greeting of some parts of characters at the afternoon

a parade of all the Disney character at around 6:30 pm

a half-hour fantastic firework show at 8:00 pm

TIME TO LEAVE !!

I had bought some souvenirs for my best friends and cousins.

All the memories and experiences in both Tokyo Disney Sea and the Tokyo Disney Land were terrific and precious to me. 

HERE ARE THE LINKS FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO CHECK THE PRICE OF TICKET AND THE PARADE SCHEDULE:

Hi, it's Jacqueline again.

Today, I'm going to share about the Day I Spent in Japan Disney Sea on November 16, 2017.

Since I went to the theme park with my mother that she has hypertension.  This blog will not be about the amusement equipment in the park, but the attractions we have been to.

There are two Disneys in Tokyo, Japan; one is Disney Land; another is Disney Sea. Disney Sea is next to Disney Land. 

Does not like Disney Land which locates in many countries all around the world, Disney Sea only locates in Tokyo, Japan.

I love Disney Sea more than Disney Land because there are some special characters and their products only sell in Disney Sea.

Preparation

I had prepared the cutest ShellieMay bag, mask, Squeeze Toy Alien's popcorn can, and my Gelatoni before I came to Tokyo; I bought all of them on my last time to visit the park which was eight months ago.

Let's start the fantastic Disney Sea day!

At 10:15 am, I arrived at the station which connected the area between the Disney area and the public subway with my mother. We bought the Disney train ticket as we need to take for getting into the Disney area.

The first place we rushed to was the shop which sold the products of  Duffy, ShellieMay, Gelatoni and Stella Lou. There were many products such as plushes, carpets, gloves, backpacks, key chains, clothing, cups, and so on.

Successfully Losing Weight (but not me)

As the third picture count from the top, my Gelatoni looked thinner than his brothers after I bought him for a year.

Seats!! There were many special seats in the park, which were for the visitors putting their plushes on and taking pictures with them.

As a Donald fan, the Greeting Duck's special event was the on my must-go list

As Foodies

·       We bought lots of snacks inside the park, suck as ice-lolly, smoky chicken legs, popcorn, and hotdogs.

·       We had the lunch at Duffy's theme restaurant, which had such the incredible and surprising decoration inside. The price of a burger set was a bit higher than outside of the park but was still at a reasonable price.

The attractions and views were extremely great no matter in daytime or nighttime.

Here is the link to the official website of Disney Sea. It is available in many languages.

I’ll highly recommend you to visit the Disney Sea. If you want to go to both the Tokyo Disney Land and the Tokyo Disney Sea, Here is the official website of the ticket price:

As always, I buy the two-day ticket for getting the discount that I can go to the Disney Sea and Disney Land in two days.

Hi, it’s Jacqueline again. Let’s continue our last post!

Today, I'm going to share about the Craziest Foodie Day I ever had with my mom in Japan on November 14, 2017,

---PART 2

At 4:30 PM, we rushed to our favourite store in Shibuya for eating the Takoyaki before the traffic was too busy. I tried the red bean pancake, and I would like to have another one if I was not full. This store was also on my highly recommended store list that I would come every time when I came to Tokyo.  😊For people who are interested in the store, you can search "Tsukiji GINDACO" in Google to find the detail location or click the link below to see more review from other visitors.

  At 8:00 PM, we had the dinner at a local restaurant. The Sashimi combo was my mom's flavour. I had the Tonkatsu which was a Japanese dish deep-fried pork cutlet with steam rice. Since the restaurant was not in the mall, the meal was cheap that we only need to pay around eighteen Canadian dollars.

On our way to the apartment to end the day, I met the famous cheese tart store inside of the subway. 

"Okay!  Just two... then no more food for today okay?"

However, we met Mcdonald at the corner of the street; the cinnamon roll was back in stock, the McNuggets was on promotion, and the cheddar potato was the new release. OMG! It must be an accident! I promised!

We arrived the apartment at 10:10 PM, and started our midnight snack time: Cheese tarts, McNuggets, a box of cheddar potato, a bowl of cinnamon rolls, and a black chocolate pie which was sold in Japan only.

Hi, dears

I am Jacqueline. A Chinese-Canadian who loves Japan,  Disney, and crazy about food. I'm finally free to edit the picture after I have gone through many exams. I can't wait to share my unique experiences in Japan and China with you on the following days.

The days I have stayed in Tokyo, Japan: November 01 ~ November 19, 2017

The days I have stayed in Osaka, Japan: November 19 ~ November 28, 2017

The days I have stayed in Guangzhou, China: February 10 ~ February 28, 2018

Today, I'm going to share about the Craziest Foodie Day I ever had with my mom in Japan on November 14, 2017, 

---PART 1

We waked up as usual in an apartment which located a downtown area in Ikebukuro Tokyo that we booked on the Airbnb. We had no plan for the day, so we just wanted to find if there was anything we could eat for breakfast in the apartment. That’s what we found: 

Two bowls of instant noodles which was super delicious and produced by the most famous instant noodles company Nissin

A vanilla mochi ice cream which I had seen that before in the T&T supermarket in Vancouver

A cup of ice cream from Häagen-Dazs in the mocha flavour which I had only seen in Aisa

A can of incredible tasty corn soup. 

We finished our "simple" breakfast and began to plan for the day at 09:00 AM.

When I was busing planning our day, my mom went outside for a walk after breakfast and bought tons of snacks in the Family Mart, which was the closest convenience store from our apartment.

At 10:05 AM, we started our first snack break. The snacks were limited by region and season. 

The Annou Imo flavour ice cream from Häagen-Dazs was the seasonal limited edition; its taste and the texture was unique and indescribable. However, I believed Mocha would be my first choice next time. 

The sticky triangle rice with seaweed was sold only in the Family Mart which located in Japan area. There were many different flavours for choosing, but I highly recommend the Mentaiko flavour for people who want to taste in the Japanese flavour. 

The Tapioca Coconut Milk also was sold in the Family Mart which located in Japan area only; I could say that its taste was even better than the bubble tea. Amazing!!! 

The chips were from the Calbee company; it had many different flavours to represent a place or a territory inside of Japan. Don't ask me which one I'll recommend because it will be the hardest decision for me in 2018; maybe I can answer your question after I come back and buy all flavours from my next trip to Tokyo. For now, I will say "buy them all" because its price was very friendly in Japan.

At 1:20 PM, we went to a restaurant, which located in a large artificial island in Tokyo Bay and was famous by making any different flavours of Omeleice. Omeleice was a dish of fried rice that covered by an omelette As a person who always had trouble to make choices; I used 25 minutes on choosing the one that I wanted to try the most. At last, I chose the one with curry sauce and fried pork on the top. My mom picked the seafood one. Extremely great!!! The curry was not spicy at all which was good for the people could not have spicy food like me.

😁Here's the restaurant's link, you can find the location in Japan from it. http://www.pomunoki.com/pomunoki/

Part two is coming soon~
