Anas Life in Japan

One Fine Day

11:58:00 pm



Hello again! I hope you're not bored with my frequent updates! :D
This time I want to share some moments of my 'me time' two weeks ago.

There won't be any outfit post here, because my sole purpose was to share this short gateaway from the world. 

p.s. there will be photos spam














Okay, I was excited to know it's November. I heard the leaves began to change their color on November. And it was true! On my first week of November, I went to Meiji-Jinja and Yoyogi koen at Harajuku.


The leaves were not fully changed to yellowish-red color, but they began to show the sign of changing.
Beside the color changing leaves, I really love the quiet environment at Kiyomasa-Ido. Being an introvert, I like it when I have an alone time at a quiet environment. I felt like it's just me, the nature, and God.



After Kiyomasa-Ido, I went to Yoyogi koen. It was beside the Meiji Jinja. But before I exited Meiji Jinja, I accidentally met these three lovely lady. I fall in love in the first sight and couldn't resist the urge to take a photo of them. So, I asked the mother if I'm allowed to take a photo of all of them. :)

Next is Yoyogi koen.











At the park, I was enthralled by the pretty colors of the tree. Some of them already showed autumn colors. It was pretty so I took a lot of pictures here ♡

It was pretty crowded when I came. There're family, couples, groups of friends hang out together, and some group of young people practicing or taking photoshoots. There were also people brought their pet(s) for a walk.

I think the park is perfect for a date, no? :D







There was one thing that surprised me. When I was about to cross the small brigde, a big crow was sitting at the edge of the bridge. It was so calm. When I was about to take a picture of it, suddenly it turned its head towards me and began to hop towards me.

It stopped after our distance was about 15-20 cm. \(≧∇≦)/
It was calm even when I took the photos. How lovely ♡ !! I never been so close to a wild bird before, specially a big one like the crow. (≧∇≦)



And no, I don't zoom in my camera.








When I was walking leisurely at the park -enjoying myself of the pretty trees around me-, I heard some noises outside the park. There's a festival just right beside the park, so I decided to drop by before I went back home.

They sold a lot of stuff, from food, souvenirs, to clothes. There're some country booth too, like Korean, Thailand, and Chinese booth. They sold things like kimchi, Thai food, and so on..










It was nice to see that Tokyo began to change color. I was content that week. It was perfect.
The next day was a public holiday so I decided to go to Kawagoe. I have saved some photos for the post, so please stay tune! ;)


See you next week!

[Review] Moena Cafe

11:49:00 am


The first thing that caught my eyes when i entered the cafe was the ALOHA greetings board on their cashier table. (∩_∩) With white walls and colorful decoration, the cafe looks so cheerful.

But not only that, the staffs was friendly and most of them can speak english pretty well.

Before we go to the decoration, let's begin from the outside decoration of the cafe. \(≧∇≦)/




They mix the modern and hawaiian theme together, to create a colorful cafe with cozy ambiance.



They also have a souvenir corner too.. :)


With toilet inside the cafe, you don't have to be afraid to search for one when you needed it, specially after all the time you spent on shopping. (• ˆ⌣ˆ •)


The cafe has two floor. I didn't see the second floor since i was sitting on the first floor. They also have veranda seating on the first floor, for costumer who smoking. 





Not only they have cozy ambiance and friendly staff, they also serve delicious food ‎°\(^▿^)/°
They provided english, korean, and some other language menu. So you don't have to understand japanese to eat here. :D

As for the price, i think it's reasonable for a cafe, specially with the big portion and delicious taste. It's all worthed.


They sell pancake and waffle, but also breakfast and lunch set. ( ˆ⌣ˆ )
Since my sister and i was coming at lunch hour, we ordered breakfast set (for my sister), and their recommended chef lunch set (for me).

Special Loco-Moco Rice

Mine ( ˆ⌣ˆ )
My sister's - Ham Egg Benedict


Oh! I almost forgot to tell you....
If you're muslim, please ask first, whether the food have pig inside or not, because mine and my sister's had pig served on the food.

If you're not bothered by that, it's heaven! ;D
