Thank you to Viivi Severina for the nomination 😀

What is Sunshine Blogger Award?

The Sunshine Blogger Award is given to those who are inspiring and bring sunshine into the lives of their readers and fellow bloggers.

Diving straight into this. The questions from Viivi are:

When did you start your first blog and if it is not the current one about what it was? ===> 1994 on the platform ‘Geocities’. It was a fan girl blog *LOL* Kind of glad my first blog no longer exist 😛
Dream travel destination? ===> Antarctica
Name one book/movie that has inspired you ===> Jiro Dream of Sushi. Jiro is a sheer statement of perseverance and perfectionist.
What countries have you traveled to? ===> USA, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Baltic, Netherland, France, Germany, Greece, Swiss, UK, Spain, Italy, India, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Singapore, Qatar, South Korea, Thailand, China, Hong Kong & Macau, Japan, Taiwan, Australia, South Africa… I’ve probably left something out.

Tell something funny that has happened for you in plane. ===> A guy who was clearly SUPER shy, did a sells pitch. He was VERY well rehearsed and looked crazy nervous. The products that he was selling was ridiculous (just think TV infomercial products). It was by far the most entertaining show ever. Courtesy of Spring Airline (LOL). ROFL.
What is your own favorite post from your blog? ===> Bamboo slide for noodles in Miyazaki 😀 Nagashi-somen :9
What are your three must listen road trip songs? ===> I don’t listen to music on the road
Do you believe in destiny? ===> Sort of. I believe if it is time to die, it is time. However, everything else up to that point is determined solely by me.
Share your secret blogging advice with everyone ===> I do not read review about the topic that I’m about to publish, because it can tilt my judgement and impair my ability from writing something original. If I don’t read about it prior to publishing, then if I spot someone else’s blog afterwards, it means that we think alike and not ‘plagiarism’ 😛
Train, car, ship or plane travel? Which one do you prefer? ===> Train 😀
Introduce your blog in three words ===> savvy local tourist >_< this question is too difficult

I nominate the following SUNSHINE bloggers 😀

Japan etc. – Minamosun writes minimalist pieces about places all over Japan. No fluff (LOVE).
Tagnoue – Guess what, this one is about Japan again 😀 I am a huge sucker for these short post about Japan 😛

Luenxx – Cheerful Korean/American girl blogging about beauty and lifestyle. She edits her photos with all the cutesy stickers. Very sweet and happy looking blog.
