This Granny takes much better picture than me! 👵📸 . You would love to take pictures at the famous red torii gates but couldn't make it to Kyoto? Fret not! You can find this red torii gate tunnel in the centre of Tokyo, just a few minutes walk away from Akasaka station. Hie Shrine is a famous spot for “Enmusubi”. People would come to pray and make a wish for a girlfriend/boyfriend, marry, a baby, win something or to eliminate an evil. I prayed for an ability to stay slim while eat a lot but it didn't granted. Oh well 🤷🤷🤷

Happy New Year 2020! 🎊🥂 . Wish we all be blessed with better days ahead, showered with love and happiness. Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right. 2020 please be kind and awesome for all of us 😘🎊🥂 . One of Japan's highly practiced traditions is hatsumode. It's the first visit to a shrine or temple where thousands of Japanese families pay their respects as well as pray for safety, good fortune, and health for the New Year. . #happynewyear2020 #sensojitemple #tokyo #Japan #makeawish #pray #visitjapan #japanendlessdiscovery #temple #jnto #jntoid #wisatajepang #liburankejepang #ayokejepang #beautifuljapan #japantrip #traveljapan #explorejapan

Kokeizan Eihoji Temple in the city of Tajimi is a lovely place to take a walk, especially during #autumn season. The temple grounds include a zen garden with pond, bridge and waterfall. The stand outs were the Kannon-do Hall a National Treasure and the magnificent Musaibashi Bridge (Endless Bridge). The buildings here combine a unique style of Japanese and Chinese architectural styles with Zen influences . I think what makes this place special, it's rarely visited by people. I could spend a whole day here, just sit still and enjoy the peaceful ambiance 💕 . Merry #Christmas Eve! From my heart I hope tonight is wonderful for you and the rest of the world. Tonight at midnight hug everyone in your family and thank God for letting you have one more Christmas with them 🤗🎄⛄

“Anyone who thinks fallen leaves are dead has never watched them dancing on a windy day.”– Shira Tamir . I used to #travel to Japan only for the snow. But now I'm convinced that autumn is the best season to explore #Japan. The colourful foliages are just otherworldly beautiful! Can't wait to be back next autumn 🍁🍂

Today is my 40th birthday...whatttt !!! Four zero not one four. 😱 I can't believe I've survived 4 milestone birthdays. A crazy ride indeed! . It's a big deal not because I'm getting old but because I have a lot of life experience worth celebrating. Though I can't deny that I'm actually feeling sad I can't celebrate it with my Dad anymore. I really hope he's looking down and smile at me now. Here I am in Japan, Pa. Keeping my promise to take you back to your favorite country this year. Wish you were physically here with me, Mom and sis . It may be one of my worst year but I feel blessed and very thankful nevertheless. I wouldn't have survived this year if it wasn't because of huge supports from my family, friends (you know who you are) and my furry kiddos @leksonos. You are all such an angel! One of the thing I learnt from living nearly half a century life is not everyone is meant to be your inner circle. It's okay to get rid of toxic people who drains your positive energy and stay close to those who know your worth . Oh and also I'm so done with counting calories from the food I eat! Seriously, guys...just enjoy your life moderately. I'd rather have a short but meaningful life than a long but miserable life. After witnessing my Dad's and my husky bestie's sudden death, I realized that life is actually too fragile and thinner than a G-string. So go now and do what you love before it's too late. Okay enough yadda yadda now, I'm going to blow the candle, cut and indulge in my 10k calories birthday cake. Live life with no regrets! . Happy #birthday, D! Age is just a number, you are only as old as you think. When life gives you grey hairs, dye it orange! 💃💃💃

Ropeway to the Yak Meadow at an altitude of over 3,500 meters above sea level. It's one of the scenic areas of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in #Lijiang. It was a fun ride until a strong gust of wind and rain blew my tiny gondola cabin which is...yup...windowless! . The fragile cabin was swinging pretty hard I almost got a panic attack 😂🙈

Off-roading Garni gorge (around the river you see on this pic) was very fun yet super bumpy that I couldn't help to feel like boba being shaken in a glass of milk tea . Normally visitors would join a Jeep Tour to explore the narrow dirt road, barely passable for street cars. But I was lucky I got to hire an old red Zaporozhets that was driven by a kind local gentleman. Yup, I'm a fan of vintage cars! It was breathtaking to see the rock formations of the Symphony Stones. I visited the black beach of Iceland and the rock formations of Garni Gorge are many times bigger and the autumn foliage in the surrounding made it even more beautiful . Here's a pic before the ride down #Garni Gorge. Before my hair got really messy from being tossed around 😁

“I hope I can be the #autumn leaf, who looked at the sky and lived. And when it was time to leave, gracefully it knew life was a gift.” -Dodinsky 🍁🍂🌾 . Welcoming November, my birth month and also the peak of #fall season. My most favourite season of the year. It is when temperature starts dropping and the earth shines a golden light. Too beautiful it feels painful because I can't share it with my Dad anymore. Today I miss you a little too much, my travel buddy 💔
