New blog launch: Thank God for a good day in Tacoma, Washington Aug 13, 2019 Tacoma Museum of Glass, Point Defiance etc..



I decided to keep my travels, Transformers, and things I wanted to do separate from now on. This blog site will focus more on my travels while my sister blog: iamterenceho.blogspot.com will focus more on Transformers. My old travel blogs will still be in the old site as it is easy accessible when you hit on the "Life outside TF"  links.

Anyhow I recently returned to Seattle and just to spend time with friends. Anyhow, let's get started.

August 13, 2019: Tacoma Museum of Glass, Tacoma Dome, University of Tacoma Washington.

Nice area. I finally got to check out Tacoma. Imo, there isn't much to do here but it has a nice scenery in the Museum of Glass area. You can even see Mt Rainier on a good day from here. The funny thing is that I didn't even know Udub Tacoma was here but it made a nice stroll and photo-op. 


Point Defiance

Shake Shake Shake burger- Tacoma



 This is a definite must see while you are in Tacoma. Point Defiance park is a beautiful and maintained trail/park. You get to see cars waiting to board the ships to cross the Gig harbor and you get the pleasure to take a nice stroll alongside Owen beach. You can also see Mount Rainier from here as well. There is a nice Rose garden in the park as well. Worth a look especially in a good day. Afterwards I had to eat Shake Shake Shake. Very good burger joint. I was craving it.


Day II: coming up soon.

Sapporo, Japan Feb 2025 (Pic Heavy)

  Early February trip to Japan. Feb 2 (Hawaii time) Flight from HNL to New Chitose  Food from ANA airlines. Was not a direct flight. One layover. Then a one hr train ride to Sapporo from New Chitose Airport. Landed around 1030PM at night.  (Each day categories pics start from bottom to top, sorry didn't feel like fixing this).  Feb 3 ( Sapporo) (Will be Japan dates from this moment forward) The famous Nikka sign and pretty much a midnight snack before bed. According to google, the restaurant is called Asahi Ga Nobori Susukino and its right across the Nikka sign and has a animatronic ramen display. It's a good restaurant that features a staple of Sapporo: Miso. One of the few places that is open to a much later time. I think 3AM?  Feb 4  Nijo Market  Yup. Hawaii. Nijo Market. Brunch pretty much at Ohiso . Gets packed quick so find a spot to catch your grub quickly. Lots of similar restaurants around here like Ohiso but like I sai...

Hawaii Foodiecon 2025 and Yakiniku Like.

  Yakiniku Like Foodiecon was a enjoyable experience. Quite a bit of food vendors. It can be fairly expensive depending on the stuff you buy. Got to try Yakiniku Like over here in HNL. Brings me back to Sapporo which was actually only two months ago. Once again, good if you want a quick meal but if you hoping to be fulfilled, you may want to check into a Yakiniku buffet instead.

Osaka (Dotombori, Nara, Universal Studios Japan etc...) 100th post for this blog!

 Return to Osaka! It's been 4 years and it was nice to be back. My 100th post for this blog as well! Dotombori Back to Namba Oriental Hotel. Got a fairly decent room for 3. Also did a Pig cafe, The Pigs kept coming to me for sleep. They were probably tired all day. It was roughly 1830PM by then.  Nara   Even the Deers here wait for the bus. J/k. They always hungry so feed them the crackers you can purchase from the vendors on the streets. We didn't do temples this time. You can say we came here for a few hours to feed the deers and that was it.  Back to Dotombori    I've always wanted to visit the Capcom store. Sadly, the displays are the most impressive thing about the Osaka store. You get to play Street Fighter 6 on the big screen but everything in the store is pretty lackluster. The Capcom store and it's superhero neighbors are in the Parco store btw. Universal Studios Japan Pretty much came here for Super Nintendo World (ser...
