'Tis the Season to be Jolly!

Since the end of Halloween, the Xmas season has started. Lights and decorations went up and the weather got much colder. Can someone please buy me a heater!

Bakeries have their cute pastries:





My holidays have just started and I'm turning into a spud! Yay for all!!!

Have a MERRY CHRISTMAS~

I Love Snowboarding

The season is still early so most of the mountain is all artificial snow (broken ice). Only one lift was open but sharing the mountain with beginners (i.e me) and the pros were quite an experience!

Can't wait to hit the slopes again and start curving it up!!!

Yoro

I recently made a trip to a sightseeing location of Yoro! I actually have a school in the area and was told about the nice sights but never took the liberty of exploring the area till now!
The main goal was the walk (or climb at times) to see the Yoro waterfall and then hit a public bath for relaxation!












I came across a tiny crap theme park called yoroland - very old skool haha
The public bath had unisex and females only options. I went for unisex since I was too shy to go bare but they had a killer sauna cave - loved every moment of it. Especially good since I walked a good 50 minutes to get there not to mention the walking done before that!

Something I will definitely be going back to!

Crouching Aussies, Hidden Kaki

After a girly night in with cheese, crackers and good 'ol aussie wine, I walked Maya back to the station. We came across a tree with blooming Kaki fruits (also known as persimmons). Being slightly jaded from the wine - we decided to grab some. We managed to nab one after many attempts and trying to look nonchalant with every passing car.

Here is the fruit of our labor:


The next day I received a bag of Kaki fruits from the lovely Akiko as a present! So sweet <3


Note: The fruit from the tree is half the size of the ones I got hahahaha!
