A Candle Light

 A little self reward on weekend after a long working days, strolling around Omotesando (表参道) would be refreshing. It is quite difficult to find a proper place to enjoy your coffee from a higher place with a lively vibrant sense. Shibuya must be too crowded and quite noisy, but I found a cozy place along Omotesando street. Before jumping to cafe review, let's take a moment enjoying surrounding.  Right at the end of the crossing, you can find Island Vintage Coffee across the bridge where you could see Omotesando Hills from a far. Take a peak at the menu on the ground floor then go up to the second floor for menu order.  It's December, Christmas Tree 🎄 vibe Welcome!  Average price is quite expensive compared to common  coffee shop. Yeah, that's definitely Omotesando. Order the coffee here Finally, set the seat and ready to create something. I chose Mauna Kea Ice Coffee.  I know it's winter but I'm curious to try new offer. Just a rough look for the menu...

Mostly I met my friends from the same batch (haha), new faces and some alumni as well. Had a small conversation also with Ahmed about his working life in Japan. The most awaited-moment is having talk with my Host Family: okaasan (Megumi-san). Lucky me, that I was welcomed by her. I came late due to lab briefing that I couldn't leave for (of course). ...

Studying for almost 8 hours: processing data, reviewing, and thinking about next step of research (in which literally due to my incapability) couldn’t hold back my travel-alone-sense. So tonight, I decided to have look at Illumination in Caretta Shiodome which is close to Shimbashi Station (Ginza line or Yurikamome line).  Starting around mid of November until late February, illumination turns into awaited-moment in Japan. You can find it easily in Tokyo which usually sparkling up park or inside mall along with the Christmas tree. The way to get there Been amazed many times by Japan infrastructure. Wish someday Indonesia (at least Jakarta) could be transformed like this as well seen from the pedestrian path the glass gate when you may start to feel amazed  Here they are! Can you see the "Queen" tree? The garden For a cozy place to write this posting, frankly speaking, need to spend more money than Starbucks! At...
