Kleiner Campingplatz im Tal von Viñales. War eine harte Nacht im Kampf gegen Ameisen 🐜 und Stechmücken. An dem Abend 2005 wurde bei Menge Rum vernichtet 😋 . . . . . #cuba #throwback #hasstdublog #vinales  #passport #passportable #passportstamps #passportholder #sunshine #sunshinecoast #sunshinebeach #sunshinecity #sunshinetherapy #sunshinefinally #beach #beachbody #beachlife #beaches #beachbum #beachbar #beachfront #beachhouse #beachvibes #beachstlye #beachbag #beachready #beachbunny #pool #poolparty #poolside #poolday # (hier: Viñales, Cuba)

I Went To Tokyo!

Well clearly the ‘writing every week’ thing didn’t happen, sorry guys! But I did post a few pictures due from my other adventures! That has to count for something right?

So what have I been up to? Well this weekend I went to Tokyo, to the Ghibli Museum and also managed to squeeze in a visit to the Pokemon Centre in Sunshine City, Ikebukuro. To those of you who know me well whatever it is that you are imagining is probably 100% correct, up to and including:

- Me running through a Japanese mall as friends call that ‘it’s the other way’.

- Squealing upon approach.

- Becoming paralysed from indecision of which way to go first.

This is mainly in the Pokemon Centre as I was facing my childhood more or less.

The Ghibli Museum was a whole different kettle of fish. Part of the magic is that once inside, you aren’t allowed to take photos so, unless you’ve actually been, you don’t know what to expect. All I can really say is that it was breathtaking. Also Hayao Miyazaki is a control freak and micromanager but in the best possible way. His attention to detail is what makes the Ghibli movies so beautiful and timeless. What made it extra special and interesting was having T there who studied animation before coming to Japan. She was able to explain the significance of all the little extras included in the process and how the animation worked.

It was an amazing weekend and I needed it after a less than stellar week if I’m honest. Going to work all day on Sunday for the Debate Competition really messed with my body clock and my mood was effected accordingly. I officially became done with the week on Wednesday when, convinced it was Thursday, I walked into a classroom to blank stares and a maths teacher. Promptly left feeling mortified.

But it’s a new week, we’re post-typhoon, the sun is shining and I have lots of little knickknacks to keep me happy for a while. If that wasn’t enough, a new English café has opened up down the road from me as in, run by an English guy and offers actual bacon. I almost cried with joy.
