MOROCCAN STYLE IN KUALA LUMPUR

Travelling to Kuala Lumpur is not only about Petronas Twin Tower, KL Tower, and Batu Caves. If you want to have Moroccan experience without going to Morocco, you can go to Putrajaya, Malaysia. Putrajaya is actually a Federal Government Administrative Center, 30 minutes drive from KL City. I will not write everything about Putrajaya here, I will focus on Taman Botani which have Moroccan Pavillion inside and Masjid Putra. 

Welcome to my Riad
You can only use your mobile phone to take picture inside this beautiful riad
Lovely details
You need to pay RM 5 to enter this riad and the guard will say that you can't take too much picture. I'm not really sure about that but maybe they want to keep it clean and less people.

Professional camera is allowed outside the riad




You can just relax and wait for the sunset in Masjid Putera

Japan Summer Itinerary


Thinking of where to go during summer ? Well, I will share my experience together with itinerary in Japan during summer season. My main reason choosing summer season for my Japan trip is due to cheap airfare. I bought my flight ticket Kuala Lumpur - Tokyo Haneda for only RM500 with AirAsia.

Sorry that I'm not a fan of Airbnb accommodation. I'm staying at MyStays Asakusa Hotel during my trip in Japan. The rates was quite affordable, around RM 260/night and their location is just perfect. You can always check Traveloka to get the best hotel rates.

It was a pleasant stay in here and I will definitely come back here again very soon

Summer in Tokyo is not too bad. You can have good weather everyday. Touring around and see temple without worry of rain. Here I will share with you some of my favorite shots in temple. There's no restriction about how to dress up in here but it's good if you wear proper attire.

A shopping heaven, a gamer heaven, an otaku heaven, everything you want to see about Japan is all in one place. I've included a map of Shibuya and Shinjuku in my free download Japan itinerary.

Not much thing can be seen at Tokyo Palace, this place is close for public. You can only walk around the park. This parks surrounded with Momoji and Sakura trees. Best to visit this place during Spring or Autumn.

Lake Kawaguchiko is the best place for you to see Mt Fuji. This place also allowed you to do one day trip from Tokyo. Please start your journey as early as possible. The distance to this place was around 4 hours (with a local train).


It was bad weather so we didn't get chance to see the mountain


They serve Lavender ice cream during summer

No doubt that the best time to visit Tokyo Disney Sea is during summer. Me and my husband try our luck to visit this place and turns out become unpleasant experience. There were a lot of local people and Chinese tourist during summer. We only managed to ride 3 attraction for the whole day.





This ice sandwich definitely win my heart



I hope that my Japan booklet will be helpful for those who wants to travel to Japan this summer! Happy Holiday and please leave a comment if you have any question.
See you in another post!
