FASTEN YOUR SEATBELT AND TRAVEL WITH ME, IT'S HOLIDAY AGAIN
Let's go!!!!
After I visited Kanazawa and Takayama, the next stop is Sapporo Hokkaido. AS you guys know that Hokkaido is located at the North of Japan, so I have to take PLANE in order to shorten the time cause I took plane just 1 hour and a half. So, it's too fast to ship from another part of Japan towards to the North. And finally, I arrive safely at Hokkaido. I still remember my first feeling when I touch Hokkaido's weather hahaha(it's a metaphor). It's was so so so cold. This is probably because the day before I was in Takayama and the weather is about 15-18 degree celsius. But, in Hokkaido is totally different hahaha. It was -1 to 4 degree celsius hahahaha another good experience in my life. To be honest, I was never in the weather under 5 degree celsius. Anyway, when I arrived my family and me walk along the street near our hotel and then we found one of the highlight in Sapporo Hokkaido which is OTARU MUSIC BOX MUSEUM. Sound good right?? let's look in to more detail about this amazing place!!!!!
Going back to tourist attraction:D
OTARU MUSIC BOX MUSEUM
This museum is located at OTARU. If you are in this place, don't miss to visit it. In front of the museum there is a big clock which will release stream water every single hour. Surely me and other visitors wait for that time hahahaha. Ans it' worth to wait and see. Anyway, inside the museum there are three floors that you can enjoy shopping music box here. The highlight is you can choose the music that you aspire and then staffs here will put it inside the box that you choose before. Amazing time for shopping, choosing and even listening to the songs hahahaha. NICE TIME!!! In additional, if you guys would like to get something more japanese, here also provide japanese theme songs and even Japanese music box such as Japanese fortune cat which is very popular in Japan.

It's PART 2
FASTEN YOUR SEATBELT AND TRAVEL WITH ME, IT'S HOLIDAY AGAIN
Let's go!!!!
After I visited Kanazawa that I post in previous part, my family and I went to Takayama in order to visit Shirakawa-go village which located near Takayama. Before I travelled to Japan, my dad did a research about interesting tourist attractions. So, he find out that Skirakawa-go village is one of MUST-GO places that all tourists and also japanese people should visit once in their life time. Therefore, we went to this place by Shinkansen train. As everyone know that talking about Japan, one of the highlight things is Shinkansen cause it's the fastest or highest speed-railway train in the World. Additionally, Shinkansen train was provided through out Japan. So, it is definitely a good optional choice for us to travel since several lines was connected together, therefore, it make our journey much more convenience. Personally, I really recommend you guys to take Shinkansen train cause you will definitely realise the taste of high speech-railway. Hahahaha
Going back to tourist attractions.....
Shirakawa-go village
Shirakawa-go village is declared as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995, they are famous for their traditional gassho-zukuri farmhouses, some of which are more than 250 years old. It is located near Takayama, so if you guys are around this area which is Takayama or Kanazawa. You can use just only one day in order to make a good trip. Nevertheless, the best way to experience the town, is to stay overnight at one of the farmhouses which is called minshuku. If you guys are interesting to stay here, you can ask for more information at the counter entrance. For me, the structure of Shirakawa-go are as they were hundreds of years ago. If you guys would like to experience farm life, Shirakawa-go village is definitely good choice for you guys. Anyway, interesting village and worth seeing.

Let's talk about FOOD a little bit hahahahaha cause right now I'm so starving.
Vanilla ICE-CREAM
As you guys know that Japanese dessert has good reputation all around the World. Surely, I try this vanilla ice-cream. At first, you will realise that it's just a normal vanilla ice-cream. But, after your first bite, you will understand how good the taste is. The combination is so so so perfect which is so AmaZing hahahaha. You have to try by your own, I cannot describe anymore.

Let's go!!!!
|
atmosphere at Shirakawa village, Gifu Japan |
I took this trip with my family in April this year since in my country,Thailand, during this period of time is a traditional Thai New Year, so it's a holiday break of me and my parents. We decide to went to Japan since my dad has friend there, so he can take us around Japan and expose this beautiful country.
....
And then, after our plane landed at Narita international airport and passed trough immigration checking process. We went to the station which provided train ticket for us because our first destination is KANAZAWA . I'm certain that you guys are not quite familiar which this city because it's located outside the TOKYO, but the atmosphere is Kanazawa is very nice and people there is so nice and friendly to us. First night of this trip my dad would like to stay in traditional hotel which is RYOKAN. It is a type of traditional Japanese inn that originated in the Edo period. In Ryokan will provide communal baths and other public areas where all visitors may wear Yukata to use it. Also in this kind of inn, there will also provide traditional Japanese food which you cannot find it in city. So, just try ONCE in your life. You will experience amazing moment!!!!
Let's go back to Kanazawa!!!!!!!!!
|
the atmosphere in Kanazawa |
Let's talk about landmarks in Kanazawa
Kanazawa Castle
Kanazawa is the capital city of Ishikawa Prefecture which about 300 miles West of Tokyo, on the sea of Korea. It's full of beautiful and historical place which attract Japanese people and surely foreigner to visit. When I arrived here, it was a fall time. So, the weather is so so so perfect. It's not too hot and too cold. Personally, it is great to see how castle grounds have been cleared to let us see the walls and moat. Anyway the reconstructed building are beautiful and interesting. BUT, before go inside the castle you have to take off the shoes since just I mentioned above this castle was reconstructed. Anyway, It's one of the outstanding buildings in Japan that I have ever seen and a cultural treasure. Make sure you visit if you are in the area.
|
In fall time, you can see Sakura along the walk side. |
My recommendation, if you visit this place don't forget to try Gold ice-cream. The taste is so good and don't have anything to describe how good it is. If i can grade it, it will definitely give ten from ten points. Don's miss to experience it. OH! you can find Gold ice-cram in the front of the entrance of Kanazawa castle.

Gold Ice-cream, Don't miss to try it:D |

It's a NEW JOURNEY
Are you ready to start this trip with me???
Let's Fasten your seatbelt and fly to Chiangmai and Chiangrai with me:)))))
CHIANGMAI CHIANGRAI CHIANGMAI CHIANGRAI CHIANGMAI CHIANGRAI CHIANGMAI
Let's go go go go
After I travel in Chiangmai for 1 day and 1 night, my dad rent the car in order to travel to Chiangrai, so in this post I will take you guys to visit Chiangrai with me!!!!
Basic information about " TUNG"
the picture that you guys see above is one of the signatures of Chiangmai and Chiang rai. It named "tung". Northern people love hanging tung in home and their work places. This is mostly because they believe that tung will bring good things toward their family in terms of good fortune, wealth and good health. I'm certain that if you guys visits Chiangmai or Chiang rai, you will definitely see tung for sure. In addition, Lanna people created tung in order to worship their ancestors. Also, they believe that tung may bring good things towards their next life. So, that why Lanna people believe in tung.
Going back to interesting landmark
Watphrathat Doi Tung
This temple is the most famous temple in Chiang rai. All tourists will go to this temple especially who born in Pig year in terms of Chinese year. It can be said that Watphrsthat Doi Tung is one of the oldest temples at the top of the mountains in Northern Thailand. I really recommend to go since it's another Must-Go if you guys would like to see ancient monuments. There is a path of ancient bells along the entrance. People believe that the the sound of bell will make Buddha listen what they want to get. There are also several gold buddha statues. Personally, the views from the top of this mountain is absolutely amazing and the temple is impressive. The view will make you see the horizon on the Thailand side. But, the road is not quite smooth. My recommendation for people who are afraid of high. You should sleep hahaha that's all!!!! This is because the entrance's road is a bit like a roller coaster. Anyway, it's a nice and worth to visit once in your life time. Believe me:D

Going back to wanna food (my favourite part ever hahaha)
Khao Sawy(Northern Thai noodle curry soup)
This dish has a large influenced on Burmese noodles. It was served all over Northern Thailand including Chiangmai and Chiang rai. It a traditional noodle are boiled separately from the curry. In my opinion actually Khao Sawy was served all over restaurant in Thailand, but if you guys would like to experience the original dish. Please go to taste at Northern country, you will not forget how good the taste is. The taste is so so so amazing.

After I travel in Chiangmai for 1 day and 1 night, my dad rent the car in order to travel to Chiangrai, so in this post I will take you guys to visit Chiangrai with me!!!!
Let's talk about basic information about Chiangmai first!!
Chiang rai is the northernmost large city in Thailand. It was established as a capital city in the reign of King Mantra in 1262. Most of people who visit Chiangmai will also visit Chiang rai as well. This is mostly because both of these two provinces located near each other. They also have several historical temple which attract tourist not only foreigner but also Thai people to visit. I can guarantee that you guys will fall in love with these two provinces for sure. It's has combined cultures between Lanna and contemporary Thai culture which make provinces interesting. IT'S A MUST-GO province in Thailand. You have to visit once!!!! BELIEVE ME:D
Going back to tourist attractions:
Wat Rong Khun
Wat Rong Khun is very famous among tourists which was known as whiter temple. This temple is a contemporary, conventional, art exhibit of in the style of a Buddhist temple in Chiang rai. It was owned by Chalermchai who designed and constructed this beautiful temple by his own process. Additionally, not just a temple for worshiping. This is mostly because in Wat Rong Khun you guys will see several contemporary art mixed with traditional art which attract lot of people to visit. It's MUST-SEE. Inside the temple there are painting of modern pop art icon. If you guys visit this temple, don't miss to use golden bathroom. You will be surprised of how beautiful and creative it is. But, Please keep it clean OK?? hahahaha. I don't have any words to say except STUNNING!!!!!! Highly recommend you guys to visit ONCE. Overall. it's very artistic temple, well maintained and definitely worth to visit ONCE IN YOUR LIFE TIME.

Another MUST-TRY food in Chiangmai and Chiang rai is " PORK RIND".
Pork rind has high fame in Chiang man among local people. They love eating this snack with spicy Thai dip since when the pork rind is very crispy and yummy. I'm quite sure that when you eat it, you cannot stop chewing for sure. hahaha. Also, when it was mixed with spicy Thai dip, the taste is so good combined with little spicy and sweet.

Doi Suthep |
Going back to tourist attractions
Wat Phra That Doi SuThep
Wat Phra That Doi SuThep can be compared as the sign of Chiangmai. I'm certain that people who visit Chiangmai will visit Doi SuThep as well. You guys might think that it's full of tourist, but actually several local people love going here for praying both normal day and special day such as Visakha Puja Day which marks significant events occurred in Buddha's life, namely; his birth, his enlightenment and also his passing away. The temple was covered by all gold and in the sunny day the view is absolutely amazing. Therefore, several people love capturing moment here. Moreover, if you would like to see the sun set just wait. It's wroth for waiting. Believe me!!!!!! Anyway it's great to visit and have a wonderful view. This temple also provide the elevator, if you take children or elderly with you elevator is the perfect answer for you. But if you would like to absorb the nature , you can walk. Another good choice. Personally, I really recommend to go. It's one of signature of Chiangmai:DDD

Wat Phra Singh
This temple is one of the very good place and it has great history of Chiangmai town. It also has the hall of Tripitaka which is very old, but has a great cultural value. In my opinion, Wat Phra Singh is one of my favourite temples in Chiangmai. But, I recommend you guys to bring umbrella since the temperature is quite high. So, don't forget to bring it.
Let's talk about Lanna Food
It's a unique food which presides in the Northern regions of Thailand. If you guys visit Chiangmai, please try Lanna food. You will fall in love with this type of food. Let's me explain how goos it is. The combination of the foods is so PERFECT between sweet and a little bit spicy. Don't be afraid of spicy since this taste is not hard spicy. Just TRY ONCE!!!!

Let's me explain the basic information about Chiangmai!!
Chiangmai is located at Northern of Thailand. It has 700km north of the capital city of Bangkok. Chiangmai can be compared as the second largest city in Thailand, but in Chiangmai there are only just 200,000 population who inhabit in this land. When compare Chiangmai to Bangkok which has over 8 million population. So, it is easy to explain that why Thai people and tourist would like to visit Chiangmai as a holiday or some group of people move their home to settle down at Chiangmai. Nowadays Chiangmai is very popular among Tourist and even Thai people since there are numerous landmarks which attract people to visit Chiangmai once in a life time. If I ask people " Have you ever been to Chiangmai yet? ". I'm certain that most of the answer is going to be "YES" for sure. Moreover, in this present there is 1 hour flight from Bangkok to Chiangmai,so it's very convenient to travel and visit. IF YOU GUYS ARE LOOKING FOR THE PLACE TO TAKE A BREAK, CHIANGMAI IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT CHOICE FOR YOU GUYS!!!!!! :D:D:D
Let's begin my journey
I have been to Chiangmai many times, but the latest time is on March 2016.
Therefore, let's get started!!
My family chose to take place from Donmueng international airport to Chiangmai international airport. The flight was around 1 hour and 20 minutes.
Yeah! We arrived at Donmueng international airport Bangkok,Thailand. Me and my family searched for something to eat and walked through the gate.

And then, finally we arrived HOREY!!!
|
I captured the nice and clear sky before the plane was landing to Chiangmai international airport. |
LET's GO
Talking about landmarks in Chiangmai Thailand!!!
Wat Phraphutthabat Si Roi
This temple is located at Mae Rim District, Chiangmai. This temple has high reputation since it was believed that there are buddha's footprint in this place. Several people come here to worship Buddha, however this temple is located at the high mountain. They intend to worship Buddha's footprint ONCE same as me and my family. When you arrived here, you wound feel that this place is so silent and holy. You will see the Buddha's teaching appear all along the wall which make you feel so touched. Anyway, I really recommend you guys visit this place once is your life. It's so amazing.

Welcome back again my lovely viewers This is my last day in New York city!!

Therefore, this journey is going to end soon. This post will be the last part of New York. I hope you will enjoy along this journey with me:)
So, this post is going to be the last day in the Big Apple of this memorable journey!!!
It's New York city that place that never sleep!!!
Don't forget to fasten your seatbelt, the plane is landing soon:))))))))))
BYE BYE
My last day in New York city of this trip is on 2 August 2016, that day my class at Hunter college already ended. But, when I woke up I ask myself that what do you want to do on the last day here? :D
So, my mind told me that you should go back to some landmarks and go back to school for keeping the last memory here.
I woke up so early on that day around 6:00 a.m., I took an shower and walked trough the bakery shop that I ate everyday before I get on the train. This bakery shop is located at near my apartment. It is the Chinese bakery shop which the price is very affordable. And also, the taste is very great. After I went to this bakery store, I'm going to wait for the train like everyday, so when the train is coming, I get off at Hunter College station first. This is mostly because I would like to keep all the good memories such as the atmosphere of the school, the door that I used everyday and also using my student iD card the last time before I leave New York city.
|
I get off at 68th street Hunter College first. |
|
the way which connected to the subway. |
|
the atmosphere in Hunter College |
|
I ate this Ice -cream which I bought from the ice-cream machine. |
After I went to school, another place that I cannot miss before I leave the Big Apple is Times Square. I walked through the street and take photos. I still remember my feeling at that time, I feel a little bit sad, I don't wanna leave. I have to come back here for sure. So, after I went to Times Square, I went to off the wall frozen yogurt which is my number one frozen yogurt in New York City. I wish it would open in Thailand soon hahahaha. I'm very amazing. PS: I already mentioned this yogurt in my previous New York's part. Don't forget to check it out!!!! Additionally, I went to take a photo at the New York Times too cause the building's company is located opposite the off the wall frozen Yogurt hahahaha. Lucky me:D
|
Times square!!! |
|
And surely my last off the wall here:((( |
|
take a selfies in front of New York Times Building hahahahahahaaha. |
After I went to Times Square, off the wall frozen yogurt and the New York Times. I felt hungry, so headed to Port authority bus terminal which is not quite far from Times Square station. I went to Dean and Deluca restaurant since I would like to eat sushi hahahahahaha. The sushi here is very yummy and fresh. Don't forget to try when you visit here. You will not regret for sure!!
|
In front of the restaurant which located near the Port Authority bus terminal. |
|
my sushi yeah! |
After I enjoy visit all these places, I went back home and prepared to pack my luggage and take a shower because my flight is at 1.00 a.m, therefore I have to arrive at the airport before 10.00 P.M.
When I arrived at the airport and passed the immigration counter, i sat at the gate and wait for my flight. At that time, I wish I could stay a little bit longer two months and a half is not enough. But, you know it's time to back home. I have to transfer the flight at Hong kong and then Hong kong to Thailand. It's was a long long long flight hahahahaha.
|
When I waiting for the flight at JFK airport. |
