This is the part 2 to Versailles Palace post, that estate is just too huge to be covered by a singular post. Grand Trianon is known for its pink marble corridor, The Peristyle, that links its 2 wings. The distance between the main palace and Grand Trianon is around 2km; it felt more like 3km walking in the “lovely” winter wind. There are some golf cart available so you won’t have to walk all the way, but hey, what’s the fun in that? 😛 This post was in draft mode for way too long. I found out that I forgot to publish this when I was writing about the Petit Trianon LOL So excuse me for the winter looking situation.

At this farm, wasabi plant get bathed in Hotaka alps fresh water 24/7 and their very own sun shades. How’s that for a life, huh? Hotaka 穂高 (Azumino city 安曇野市), 30min train ride from Matsumoto. This small town is a hidden gem. Mainly farms and well maintained hikes. Nature is all over here. Their main attraction here is undoubtedly the Daio Wasabi Farm 大王わさび農場. This is one of the largest wasabi farm in Japan.

It was a city get away that I highly cherished. Stunning experience! It was just a train ride away in London zone 6 rail. This was 45min cave tour lead by a wonderful guide / actor / entertainer, Peter. He sang, bellowed and whispered stories of druids, people and ghost that stayed in this same cave. In the darkness, let the imagination ran wild…

Shurijo site is 1 of a 9 parts UNESCO site (Gusuku) in Okinawa. A rather unusual arrangement really, these 9 sites are scattered all over the prefecture and isn’t all next to each other. The other 8 are:

Tamaudun 玉陵 – Naha 那覇市

Sonohyan-utaki Ishimon 園比屋武御嶽石門 – Naha 那覇市

Shikinaen 識名園 – Naha 那覇市

Sefa-utaki 斎場御嶽 – Nanjo 南城市

This is a collaboration post with Hoiyin from UK! Hoiyin and I “met” each other via wordpress a few years back. I think we first met via Stashy’s comment section. We’re chatting the other day and this anti-haul post idea just came to us. Since I am on a no-buy, perhaps this post will help me to control my urges.

Most of the products on my list do not belong to the new release category. I clearly radicalised myself into wanting these products by my own accord. No further influence needed.
