La Vie En Rose

googlehttps://plus.google.com/u/0/114005940946674524673 twitter instagram

    Hiya! Greetings from this cutesy fish! (btw, it's real) So this blog post is about our typical day in Ehimeken, Shikoku. When Yuma and I don't have any plans (of travelling somewhere), instead of staying home, we always opt going outside and discover something new around our neighborhood!


This picture is way back in 2005 when we used to go often in Hachioji Park. We love going to this place every Sunday back then. Yuma used to play soccer and I used to ride ichirinsha or unicycle. But what we love doing here the most is throwing  rocks on to the river. We, then, compete on who has thrown the furthest. Oh, childhood memories!



       This is an egg machine where you only have to insert money and choose on what kind of egg you want. There are variety of options since the chicken farm is just near from this machine. 




                                                                    BLACK KOI

           Since Ehimeken is a province, you'll see countless plants everywhere! the people here loves to plant different crops according to what they desire.



                                                    Off to the park!
                                             


              What's lacking in the Philippines is the park. I think that it would be better if there's going to be more parks constructed near our neighborhood. After all, we can take it as an advantage to plant more trees!














Bye from Tama chan!~

Odaiji ni,
Au revoir!

     On the 6th of May, 2015, Yuma, Papa and I went to Nagoya in order for us to meet our cousins and ojisan (uncle). It had been 10 years since we haven't seen each other. I honestly couldn't hide my excitement that time. Most especially, my cousin gave birth to her first child, Yui! 


        From Ehimeken, we had to ride a train (which is designed in Anpanman's characters) to go in Matsuyama Station. This is because Matsuyama is the prefectural capital of Ehime. In fact, this is where you can find the JR Shikoku railway station on Yosan Line. 




     
       Off to ride the Nozomi Shinkansen which is known to be the fastest train. This shinkansen only runs on the major stations such as Shin-Osaka, Kobe, Nagoya,Tokyo and the like. 

     Before arriving upon every station, there will be a recorded voice that will announce its destination both in English and Japanese. 


     There are 2 steps when buying a ticket. First, you have to insert money on the touch screen machine. Second, choose the station you're going to. However, the words are not written in Romaji. Only Kanji is available. If you're a tourist, you can always ask for any employees working there to guide you or to anyone who is willing to help. 




The moment that we arrived to Nagoya, Yui chan greeted us! She's sooo cute!


   After our late lunch, Yuma and Hiroki nichan went straight to play nostalgic games. 



     Before we doze off to sleep, we took pictures together in our comfy sleeping wear. Yuma and I missed the peace sign. ;)


     Can I just say that we always have the best breakfast ever? Our ojisan (uncle) surely knows how to impress us with his cooking skills. He, in fact, made the strawberry jam himself for the first time and it absolutely tasted good! It felt like he had made them before! He also has variety of vegetables, herbs and fruits on his garden. Surely, Japanese people are fond of planting crops. 'Cause it's so much convenient and tasty! 





        After our breakfast, we went outside to stroll. Do you see this lake? It may not look beautiful at this time. However, according to ojisan, this lake is going to be filled with loads of lilies and lotus flowers which is said to be blooming on my birth month,  August!
   

I can already imagine this lake being filled with myriad of lotus flower! <3



                                                                          At the garden of Ojisan!



           We arrived at Kariya Highway Oasis before going back to Shikoku.


          Can you believe that the Kariya Highway Oasis is famous because of its elegant deluxe toilet? Yes, that's a toilet room that you see. It's actually a must-see toilet in Japan. (I just sounded weird there)








                                             View from the window of Ferris wheel.





Bowl of happiness :)



             We met with the sister of ojiichan (grandpa). She was so happy to have met us! 



             We didn't do much in Nagoya since our main objective was to see our love ones. It was just a short time but we indeed, had a blast meeting them! 



Odaiji ni,
Au revoir!

            At exactly 7:10 pm, Yuma and I arrived at Osaka Kansai Kokusai Airport. 



                     (view from the 52nd floor of Star Gate Kansai Hotel)


        Did you know that Osaka Kansai Airport or KIX is built in an artificial island? Can you imagine on how long they have deliberately planned this? Sure, there are risks but they cannot stand still and do nothing with the inconvenience that the passengers have experienced. This includes the limitations of air cargo to be exported in Tokyo rather than in Osaka. Moreover, the Osaka airport cannot be further expanded in space because of the increasing urban development in the city. The reason behind the construction of this airport is to lessen the crowding in Osaka-Itami Airport. Since this airport is made in an artificial island, aircraft noise is no longer a problem. Thus, they can operate even on late hours.



         It was actually our first time to travel on our own. I admit that I panicked when we didn't saw our dad right away inside the airport. We were finding him for 10 minutes which explains my outbreak of fear. >.<



         We, then, rode the car and prepared for 6 long hours of drive going to Ehimeken, Shikoku.



               We had our first stop over and our first meal in somewhere restaurant. (I forgot the name. tsk. tsk.) 


          All you have to do is to insert your money on the machine and choose any meal that you want from the menu. No talking needed. How convenient isn't it? Then you just have to claim your order afterwards.  




Day 1: Ehimeken




    
     You can never come inside the house without even taking a picture of this beauty. My obaachan (grandma) carefully planted these flowers with love. That's why this deserves to be captured!




     Since, I kept on bugging my dad to take us to udon ya-san, he finally agreed to have our first breakfast in Serufu Sanuki udon! Yum~






     After we ate at udon ya-san, we went to docomo (which is much like Globe or Smart) to buy a phone. He wanted to throw away the flipping-open-and-close phone to buy an iPhone 6 plus. The price is reasonable for they are giving free services. However, it took us 1 hour just to buy 1 phone. The process took longer than I expected. 



First #selfie on my papa's phone!



We jumped off the car to go in this beautiful sea of Ehimeken. (Which is only 8 minutes away from our home) Honestly speaking, nothing compares our majestic sea that we have back in the Philippines. But if you want to see a sea that is similar from what we have in PH, Okinawa is the option! 







         Stay tuned for the next post!





                                             
Odaiji ni,
Au revoir
