The feature photo says a lot, right? If you miss the old 80’s HK style like me, this place is it! Star Cafe 星座冰室, Hong Kong. What a fierce ambiance! This place turns back the clock! I had been eyeing Japanese knives since my first visit. So glad that I finally took the plunge and can finally call some of their ‘artwork’ my own. This little store was a TOTAL gem.… I don’t understand why this place got categorised as a hostel. I mean, just look at it. The place was over 100 years old. The facilities and ambiance was excellent. Plain hardcore value for money! I love tiny places 😀 I found this little home style store via reading a Japanese local paper. So glad that I persevered and found this place. This beautiful day trip kicked off from the scenic train ride. Check this view from the train… (20min ride from Hakodate) Onuma Quasi national Park, Nanae – 大沼公園, 七飯町 I loved this park. It was HUGE and plenty of paths to get lost in the woods. The lake was the central feature, even a wanderer like me couldn’t get completely lost. I am a HUGE fan of Nissin noodles. I buy them in cases and occasionally dream about them.

This revolutionised the world – quick meal to treat hungry salary men of Japan, inspiration to space travel meal, the… Story time? Beauty of solo travel. This was not my brightest moment. Google map was wrong AND I landed up in a spot where there was no internet… This tour was a true test on stamina and endurance. How much one can eat has a direct impact on enjoyment 😀 There were 6 stops. Each stop was rich and evil. Latest
