If you think this temple grounds is quiet, then you're in for a surprise. Just opposite side to where my previous post was taken is this! It's a marketplace. People are rushing by, buying all sorts of things,… https://t.co/5Hg0E1MqS2

I came to realize how blessed I was with my Japan trip. My travel dates were between 2 major catastrophic events in Japan. If my trip was moved a few weeks earlier, I would experience Typhoon Hagibis, deemed as one… https://t.co/JgyxwCpKlH

Japan has 2 major belief systems: Shintoism and Buddhism. It can get confusing to distinguish between the two. So to make it simple, shrines is for Shinto while temples is for Buddist. Torii Gates is for Shinto while… https://t.co/hxIMyrPWhn

When I first saw this building, I wondered why named it Hips? After all, my first impression was a violin-shaped building. Then perhaps the notion of a woman's "perfect" body was the concept here - bust, waist, and… https://t.co/eSyKK7M8Wg

My family planned to go to Japan this year. But because of the corona virus, my parents decided not to go.😭 It breaks my heart. I really want them to see the place I fell in love with. What pains me more is that my… https://t.co/mtacCQOSrX

If you don't know Takoyaki, chances are you're living under a rock. 😂😁 Kidding aside, it's one of Japan's popular food. It's a flour based batter cooked into balls with diced octopus and other ingredients. For me,… https://t.co/Up42YPrNHX

I think I have been to Dotonbori 5 times but I still haven't seen it entirely. The place is big that it seems almost endless. There are major streets and minor streets. Even minor streets have multiple smaller… https://t.co/6aYUYFGY5v

Pretty much the wackiest restaurant designs can be found in Dotonbori. 😂 Here's a little tip for you. Make sure your camera's battery is fully charged when you step into this lively area. Every building, every… https://t.co/Y1eyBKL8f9

When you enter Dotonbori, you enter into a new world. The Japan you see on movies - neon lights at every establishment, signboards you don't understand, cartoons everywhere, unique restaurant designs, delicious food… https://t.co/6kWUWUNh6o

My recommendation for your Dotonbori food adventure is definitely HANAMARUKEN!! The best ramen I have tasted so far and I am not exaggerating! ❤️The flavours were rich. The noodles were perfectly cooked. The soup was… https://t.co/2L1yV6Ljjj

After visiting Kobe Port Tower, I went to Dotonbori for some dinner. I know, I know.. I was energizer bunny when I was in Japan. Every single cell in my body was jiddy.

Anyways, foodies should definitely visit… https://t.co/Uam3h0FhE6

I spent a few minutes (okay, maybe a few hours) admiring the totality of the place. Trust me, the view is as beautiful as the Tower itself. Although Kobe Tower is the king, the whole area is the grand palace. 👑🌃 @… https://t.co/zly7jSipJ8

[Charis @ForeverCharis]

I could stay spellbound by this view. I just need a warm blanket and a hot coffee in hand. Kobe is a port city. I got a similar feel from that of Yokohama, Kanagawa. They both have 3 things in common: (1) They have… https://t.co/6wfF65gL0T

As much as I wanted to stay on Mt. Rokko, I needed to go down to visit this! 💕 Hello Kobe Port Tower! You are the symbol of Kobe. I used to see you only on postcards, but I finally saw you in person.

I'm about to end my types of love series for the week. This last one is the most important.

Remember, He first loved us. I can love because of Him. Every time I see the beauty of His… https://t.co/RnkZ1p6FZa

I'm taking a break from posting my Japan adventure chronologically.

It's hard to pick a photo that captures all my friends and family, so I chose this instead. This is me… https://t.co/cS0FlUAI2L

Second: Love for the environment

The news makes me think about the world the children these days will grow up to. News about climate change is everywhere. The temperature is getting warmer. The Amazon forest was… https://t.co/fKl2hVfmpw

It's Valentine's Week! What better way to celebrate it than to share all kinds of love.

First: Self love

We can't fully love others if we don't love ourselves first. Growing up, I had problems with… https://t.co/v9Cufh199k

Sometimes, the simplest of things can make us speechless. Any work of art is an extension of its artist. He/She leaves a piece of his/her soul into their creations. ♥️ @ Japan https://t.co/uoqH31ui81
