series : my spring in Japan 7

December 9, 2015 by runalittlestories

18th May… Nishiki Market is located downtown Kyoto. Its around five block shopping street lined by plenty of shops and restaurants. There are plenty of things sold in here, start from food to clothes. Of course they also sell souvenirs. Last year, one of my good friends travelled to Japan. She mentioned to me that its cheaper to buy souvenirs in Nishiki Market compare to Tokyo. I never really checked it by surveying both places, but i think it make sense. […]

series : my spring in Japan 6

October 14, 2015 by runalittlestories

17th May 2015.. This day i wake up early at 6.30 am. And at 07.30 am, i am ready to go. When i leave the guesthouse, i find Takeshi in front of the house. I think he just wake up (still in his sleepy face) and ask me where i am going. I answer, “I am going to Kiyozumi-dera before its get crowded”. He reply, “ Good idea.” He points me to the Kiyozumi-michi bus stop, but i point out […]

series : my spring in Japan 5

September 27, 2015 by runalittlestories

16th May 2015.. I woke up at 10.30 AM this morning. 8 hours sleep for two days seems justifiable. Olivia says, “Good Morning, sleepyhead, do you plan to sleep all day?”. I just laugh. I gather all my souls in order to make a proper goodbye to Mellisa and Olivia. Both of them leave the guesthouse today. Especially to Olivia, after i heard her story, i wish her a proper good luck. Hopefully, the life give us chance in future […]

series : my spring in Japan 4

September 21, 2015 by runalittlestories

Still in 15th May 2015.. Takeshi’s guesthouse is awesome. It is so homy. It is a traditional modern Japanese house with a living room and  garden in the middle. The floor either use tatami or wood. All interior is using wood, including the bunk bed. There are three basins, three toilets, and three shower rooms. The living room is the life of the house where people usually gather and share stories. The guesthouse also have several private rooms but with […]

series : my spring in Japan 3

September 12, 2015 by runalittlestories

I arrive in Kyoto on 11.30 AM. The last-minute accommodation i booked has check in time before 12.00 or above 16.00. I don’t think i will arrive there on time. So, instead, i decide to rent a locker in Kyoto station. I found it straight away. The cost is 500 yen. The problem is i need to pay with 100 yen coin, which i don’t have. Usually if you exchange your currency, the money exchanger will give you 10,000 yen. […]

series : my spring in Japan 2

August 22, 2015 by runalittlestories

14th May 2015… Maybe this is a bad habit – or simply efficient, i often pack on the night before (if i take day flight) or on the day (if i take night flight). My essential packing items are clothes, personal unique amenities, and emergency kits (from band aid to aspirin). Simple, right? I think thats traveling should be. Other than packing, i am still working and i need to meet some deadlines. Today. Yes, today, in public holiday. After […]

series : my spring in Japan 1

August 17, 2015 by runalittlestories

I visited Japan on last May and i had a great time. One of the input i have from friends is they want to know more the story during traveling, not only the travel itinerary. Therefore, i present this edition as a series, as my appreciation for you who always support me. Don’t worry! I will post more compact to-do-point edition for travel itinerary and tips. Hopefully, all of you enjoy it! Some time in January 2015…  It starts here. The […]

East Kalimantan #2 : refreshing, wild, and fun

January 31, 2015 by runalittlestories

I need to admit that this is quite a hard-core vacation, not because i planned it that way. But because Em family’s kindness. They really want us to see Bontang and its surrounding in many ways. Beach and island, Checked! Forth day was the time for the tropical rain forest. We went to Kutai National Park, hoping that we will see wild orangutans. This is not Orangutan conservation, but a pure rainforest. I did hiking a lot when i was a […]

East Kalimantan #1

January 23, 2015 by runalittlestories

I love this feeling. The mind is fresh while the heart is full of joy. This is what a great holiday all about. This time, life brought me to Bontang, East Kalimantan. We might know this place because of the 2 big companies, the gas mining “Badak” and the fertiliser factory, “Pupuk Kaltim.” But for my best friend, this is home. Yeah, you are right. I visited my best friend’s home town, Em. Of course, thats a fiction name. I […]
