The Park Front Hotel @ Universal Studios Japan: Everything You Need to Know

Posted on July 5, 2018 by Lexi • Leave a comment

The hubby and I aren’t really ones for staying at expensive hotels. We’re more of a best bang for your buck kind of couple. That being said, we do have certain criteria in mind when choosing a place to say: cleanliness, price, location and amenities. Stuff that I think is pretty common for most travelers. … Continue reading →

How to Spend One Day in Osaka

Posted on May 31, 2018 by Lexi • 1 Comment

Osaka is an amazing place to visit. In fact, I’d even go as far as to say that I may like it more than Tokyo. Not to say that I don’t love Tokyo, just that Osaka has a different charm. This wasn’t our first trip to Osaka, and it’s far from our last, but every … Continue reading →

This time around, I found myself in Osaka surrounded by some adorable new feathery friends. Kotori Cafe is a cute … Continue reading →

7 Hour Layover in Tokyo + Pokémon Center Mega Tokyo + Poké Haul

Heading back to LA is always a special treat for the boyfriend and myself. It’s not often that we get to go back home for a visit, so we were really excited. Unfortunately, tickets to LA are not exactly the cheapest, so to save ourselves some money we opted for a 7 hour layover in … Continue reading →

After spending the early part of our morning getting done up at Yumeyakata, the boyfriend and I were finally ready to venture out into Kyoto! Higashiyama District (東山区) We spent a good portion of our day wandering though the narrow cobbled paths of the Higashiyama district. This area was formed back in 1929 and boasts beautiful … Continue reading →

Hello Kitty Saryo (はろうきてぃ茶寮): A Japanese Tea House

Posted on December 16, 2016 by Lexi • 3 Comments

Hello Kitty is famous world wide, so much that various cafes and restaurants have opened all over the world in her honor. Even here in Korea, we have our fair share of Hello Kitty cafes (yes, plural). This being said, I wasn’t sure if I was up for visiting yet another Hello Kitty cafe in … Continue reading →

Last year the boyfriend and I took a trip to Osaka and Kyoto for my birthday. It had always been a bucket list item of mine to walk the old streets of Japan in traditional clothes. Though we only spent a day in Kyoto, I knew I wanted to spend it in a beautiful kimono. Yumeyakata is … Continue reading →

I love theme cafes! They’re unique, fun and the food is always beyond cute. For my birthday, my boyfriend and I had lunch at the Gudetama Cafe in Osaka! Originally it was meant to be a temporary pop-up, but it had gained so much popularity that they completely renovated the space and made it a permanent … Continue reading →

Do you ever watch people eating in a movie or kdrama and then immediately have to have whatever they're eating? For us... that happens all the time!
Needless to say summer is right around the corner, and while I'd love to have a hot girl summer... I'd love to eat whatever I want more 😂
If you're looking for something fun to do over the weekend, then you should check out the Hangang Moonlight Market. It has food trucks, performances, a flea market and a gorgeous view of the Han River!
Weather's getting warmer and I'm finally ready to trade in my dark clothes for brighter colors.
Any time we travel to the coast here in Korea, we always look forward to eating one thing... seafood ramen!
Mayak Gyeran (마약계란), aka Korean marinated eggs, is one of my favorite Korean side dishes. Not only is it addictive, but it also makes for a quick and easy meal when I'm super busy or just don't feel like cooking. Have you tried it?
Once again we've been getting some nice spring weather here in Seoul... and what better way to spend a day than at our favorite cronut cafe.
I'm in total love with Gyeongbokgung. I visit it every season, in every weather... pretty much any chance I get. But one of my favorite times to visit the palace is when it opens at night.
To all our fellow Star Wars fans near and far... May the 4th be with you!
