Kyushu Trip 2014 – 九洲之旅 – Day 2

We woke up around 7am to catch the train for another city – Kumamoto

We visited the 水前寺前趣公園 and Kumamoto Castle
Then we spent our time for shopping in the 步行街~

Kumamoto city is a nice city for one day trip!
Hope I can visit the city again!

Brick Lane@TST, Hong Kong

I am a big fans of All Day Breakfast.
Frds always recommend to try Brick Lane@Hong Kong.
I finally made it during this weekend!

The food here is quite nice. Frds told me they waited around 1 hr for the queue last time but this time we only waited for 30 mins.
We ordered a All Day Breakfast Combo and Egg Benedict wiv Salmon tgt wiv orange and apple juice.
It costed us HKD 320 in total.
Price isn’t that cheap but the food here is totally worth it.

Wanna try their fish and chip later !

Kyushu Trip 2014 – 九洲之旅 – Day 1

上星期一至五跟同事去九洲旅行,
很久沒有去日本了, 很想記下所有點滴.

Image
乘香港航空公司直達福岡,
1.05pm的機
Image
HKExpress的機是可以接受的,
不過我還是喜歡CX, 一來因為Asiamiles, 二來因為CX的設施比較完善

Image

Flight meal  是要自己買的, 我買了點心,HKD70
味道一般, 可以接受
Image

3小時50分的航程,準時到達福岡!
我們先在福岡空港乘shuttle bus 到domestic flight的地點,
之後才乘地鐵到博多站.
我們的酒店Hakata Miyako Hotel 從博多站行只需要5MINUTES~很方便!!

Image
車費是260YEN…不算太貴喲!
Image
福岡空港是總站~
Image
忍不住一到空港就買牛奶飲,
我很喜歡飲牛奶,日本的牛奶更是我的最愛!
之前在荷蘭天天飲牛奶, 但日本的牛奶是我飲過最滑最好飲的!

放下行李之後,就到yodobashi hakata (http://www.yodobashi.com/ec/store/0088/index.html)逛街!
大力推介到GU購物,太平宜了!

晚上到了Hakata City的一風堂 ,
我食了一個拉麵及和同事SHARE一客餃子(我付了1000YEN)
日本的一風堂, 比香港的平宜,
不知道是不是很餓的關係,
所以我覺得味道比香港的好太多!

晚飯後到了hakata city 頂樓看night view~

明天去熊本喲!

Poo-free ~Step on the way of healthy

It has been ages since I have updated my blog!
I still have a long way to go for writing blogs for my trip to the US/Taiwan/Harbin and Beijing !( Can’t believe I visited more than 4 cities in one year!)

Now I am back to wordpress and I hope to use it for recording my way for Poo-free.

So what is poo-free? when I first heard this name, I felt strange and couldn’t help laughing!
Does it mean a life without poo poo? Haha! Absolutely NOT!

Poo-free means “NOT USING SHAMPOO/CONDITIONER/HAIRMASK for your hair” .
It means only using WATER for cleaning your hair!

I first heard this name when my frd liked and shared post from a facebook group called ” 我愛PooFree ”
For English , you may try to read a nice blogger  about her amazing experience.

You may find it totally non-sense for not using anything for cleaning your hair.
I was not a believer at the beginning but still I thought it’s worthy for giving a try.

I have been using soap for washing my body for years.
Ivory is my favorite one .
At first I used Ivory for face-washing since I read a book called  Stop!別再錯誤保養啦! (Sorry, it is a Chinese book translated from Japanese. I dunno whether they had an English version).
The author of this book suggested people to stop using any skincare for face and to use soap for face washing.
I did try it for a while for not using any skincare and it felt good.
However I did want to have an improvement of my skin so I gave up the “not-using skincare” things.

Then I realized that it is not a bad thing for using Ivory for body washing!
My partners for body washing are  ” Ivory + Vaseline Total Moisture Body Lotion “.
My body is fresh and skin became smooth.

I didn’t feel dry even I used soap for body washing during winter.  I haven’t used any body scrub or other shower gel since then.
The important thing is, those things aren’t expensive at all.
I bought a package of 4 Ivory soap around HKD 20 and one bottle of Vaseline (500 ML) around HKD30.
So HKD 50 (around USD 5)  is my body wash package for around 2 months !

That’s the beginning of what I think ” Poo-free” is reasonable . I can keep using simple things for my body. Why not letting my hair to try something simple?

Here is why I am on my way to poo-free.

The first thing I did for poo-free is to…
CUT
MY
HAIR

 

 

Hello Taiwan – Day One ( 大玩台灣的第一天)

<English version will be provided later. Stay Tune>

原來,已經是第四次到台灣了.
第一次是15年前跟團的環島遊,走馬看花的看台灣.
只記得10多年前的台灣,給我一種很80年代的感覺.

第二次是半自遊行,有捷運,方便了不少.
第三及第四次,是全自遊行了.
今次去台灣,是因為替媽媽慶生,剛好我的Asiamiles又足夠換到2張來回去台北的機票,所以就選擇到台北了!

以下是這次旅行的資料:
日期: 2013年11月16日至20日
地點: 台北
入住酒店: 璞麗商務旅館
* 酒店房間雖然細小,但乾淨及位置方便(從捷運西門6號出口,步行約5分鐘就到了),
職員的服務態度也很好~住了4晚共付了HKD 3,076, 我會推介大家入住的~
航班: 港龍 (去程: 8AM 起飛 ; 回程: 10.30AM 起飛, 真的是早機去,晚機返)

清晨的香港機場, 很美~

 

我看到很多BLOG友也提議在台灣的ATM拿台幣,這是正確的~因為exchange rate 真的很不錯
我在兆豐國際商業銀行用銀聯(UnionPay) 取了20,000台幣, 加上15HKD的手續費,exchange rate 是HKD 1 = TWD 3.79
所以兌換率真的很不錯喲!

到步之後,取了提錢之外就是買電話CARD了.
很多香港人排隊買台灣大哥大的電話CARD, 應該是300TWD 可以用5天,
不過我見到人太多, 最少要排一小時,所以我買了遠傳電訊的450TWD 可以用5天, 無限上網.
用了5天,感覺很好.

乘搭國光客運到台北火車站, 125 TWD 一位 ~ 價錢很合理

好了~台北,我來了!
