Takayama, Gifu IS BEST in JAPAN

I wonder how many people were travelling in Japan on April. I was planning to visit Tokyo on April for Sakura, but too bad it was busy month and I have to wait for next year.

Alright, so I am here to blog about my past months travel experience in Japan on January. LOL I know I suppose to blog once week or two weeks max after when I back from Japan. But I got another two trips in two months. After Japan then Perth and Europe trip again on March. I am arranging the schedule and blog about it in this week.

I will suggest to rent a car when you are travelling in Japan, you can stop by anywhere that you want to  especially LAWSON & Family Mart are must stop by in the list LOL  

We drove all the way from Osaka to Nagoya it's take about 4 hours, then we stay one night in Nagoya. If you are travelling in total 4-6 buddy I will suggest you to book your accommodation with Airbnb, it's more worth and you can experience local culture. 

I actually don't know where is this place at, I think Nagoya maybe... Hmm cause I am not into this kind of nightlights 

This is the pic I take in Shirakawago. We expect it is snowing and the snow cover all the roofing like the picture below. But unfortunately, it is not snowing at the period.

How I wish I can see this beautiful view, I WILL DEFINITELY BE RIGHT BACK ! 

And this is the second day in Takayama, Gifu 

We booked our stay in Takayama by using Booking,com. The hotel provides 9 hot spring both for gender-dedicated and mix bath. The landscape is very beautiful all the way to the hotel.

Can't believe that I was having Onsen with the amazing view!!! 

While we on the way leaving from Takayama, we found out this Tofu shop 

You don't know how delicious the tofu is...We nonstop refill.. 2 boxes.. 2 boxes and 2 boxes.. repeat and repeat 

Hida Beef Sushi @ Takayama ; Hommachi 

The first time experience dressing with Japanese Kimono 

Let me introduce the FRESH Oyster in Nishiki Market @ Kyoto!  

Highly recommended 

DAIYASU @ NISHIKI MARKET 

We ordered two types which you can see the right photo in fried obviously. Oysters are types of shellfish that are commonly served cold on the half-shell. With this preparation, they are dipped in cocktail sauce or simply eaten without condiments. Fried oysters are altogether different. 

I used to reject oyster all the time but this trip makes me fall in love with it. 

But personally I enjoyed the fried ones better than the raw ones. The fried ones had a golden crispy coating on them that gave a nice crunch as you were eating them. 

It's all about food, we just cant stop eating LOL 

This is what we had in Nishiki Market @ Kyoto
( Opening hours 9.30am - 6pm ) 

Everything is superb fresh but not cheap tho, nothing is cheap in Japan!

Gyukaku @ Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi ( I believe you guys had this before in Malaysia, but this is so much cheaper and nicer in Kyoto ) 

You know Kushiyaki is the best supper ever in Japan, with beer and sake Oh No~~~~~

 

Another day in OSAKA, I don't really like it to be honest, I will still prefer Takayama cause it's snowing and the scenery is really amazing compare with City. 

 I don't know what so special about Ichiran Ramen, I will still prefer Ipuddo, but you can give a try if you never had before. 

Next, I will post about my 3rd time travelling experience in Europe. I will try my best to blog more details like which transport you should take in Europe, which domestic flight or which railway to take in Europe. Moreover, I will also share some links which accommodations I stay in Europe.    
   

Autumn in GERMAN & PARIS

Hi, I am back to Blogspot! It's been a long time I never blogging since 2013. Hmmm.. what is the reason I back to blogging life is because I wanna to share my travel experience here with all of you. 

Alright, I back to Europe again for business trip on September 2016. But only manage to travel to these three countries in only 3 weeks time. ( German, Paris & Amsterdam ) 

Remember my first trip to Europe experience was Hungary, Budapest. Well.. business trip as well. I am thinking to post about it someday after this. Give me sometimes to manage my schedule to blog about my past years travel experience. 

I used to take KLM dutch airlines to Europe cause the stop only in Europe. Like if you are going to Paris they will have one stop in Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. So you can choose like 8-10 hours stop in Amsterdam and you can take train or any public transport to town to grab some drinks or take picture with a few attractions. But... to be honest, quite rush and I am sure you won't get enough to stay at the beautiful city. 

My first station is Dusseldorf, Germany. Of course finish my job only extend my trip to Paris & Amsterdam. 

There is one stop in Amsterdam Airport Schiphol before Germany. 

Can't deny it their breads and salmon are fresh and it's really big portion meal in Europe. Suit for me, I am always a big eater xD 

We take the small KLM Airbus to Dusseldorf and the period is only 2 hrs something. 

Let me intro the three transports I had been took before if you are travelling in Europe. 

1. Thalys  ( Is a express train but quite a long distance and quite waste time in the train, i will prefer to take jet but if train is cheaper, why not go ahead for it ) 

2. RailEurope ( Compare with Thalys, raileurope also one of the express train. You can buy the Global Pass if you planning to go whole Europe, it's more worth for the price ) 

3. Veuling ( Is a jet, fast and cheaper, I will always take this as my transport in Europe and it won't cost so much expensive. Train have to take like 6-9 hrs from each country to another country but jet only 1 hr ) 

My company rent a stay in Dusseldorf for me, it's a huge apartment for two. Of course, I have someone accompany me to this trip. 

YES! Is Mee Sedap as we afraid got nothing to eat for supper, so we bring some maggie, ramen. a small pack of rice and milo powder!!  LOL 

The living room of the apartment. 

and there are some coffee shops or bar 5 mins walk from our apartment. 

The second day we buy train ticket to Cologne, Germany. 

Cologne Cathedral 

And the second station is Paris. We also rent a room through Airbnb. The owner from Japan but her husband is Parisian. 

When we arrive Paris the time is 9pm plus, we didn't take any dinner in the train as dinner. Oh ya, we take Thalys all the way in Europe ( From Germany > Paris > Amsterdam ) 

Paris Disneyland is must. Catherine is the only one who acc me all the way even acc me to work in Germany. LOL

The fireworks show is really worth to watch. Plus the weather is so nice and suitable to visit everywhere. At least you won't feel hot when you having fun in Disneyland. Choose the right time to travel, it's so much different between autumn & summer. 

We don't really like Paris compare with Amsterdam, Amsterdam scenery is so much better than Paris. Paris is not that clean from my imagination. But yes, we did really enjoy shopping there cause those branded is really cheap compare with Malaysia! The outlet near Disneyland must include in your list if you are planning to Paris. 

I will go for the second post about Amsterdam. 

Catherine is really the partner who can travelling with. But the only interest is not same is, she don't drink and she can't drink. LOL The second time we travel together was to Macau & Hong Kong, of course not only two of us again. We have totally 5 women and they are really the best person who can travelling with! Will post about Hong Kong trip after Amsterdam post. 

Hope you guys enjoy my 1st post in 2016!
