Travel to Fukuoka with family!

    My family usually travels abroad once a year and last summer vacation we went to Kyushu, an island in southern Japan. Since my last trip abroad was during the summer vacation of 2023, I was really excited about this journey. This time we planned to go around some main cities in Kyushu, such as Fukuoka, Kumamoto, and Miyazaki. Different from other trips I have had, most of the places we went to were monuments and scenic areas, instead of shipping malls. I will share some of my favorite tourist spots in the article. If you are interested, here we go!

Hells of Beppu

別府地獄めぐり

    Located in Oita, this area is known for its hot springs. The highest temperature of these hot springs is almost 100 degrees! You can put eggs into the water, and they will soon be cooked. Not only the hot springs but also the view around this water were beautiful. However, the weather was so nice. The sun was shining in the sky without any clouds covering it. Standing beside the pond almost made me cook just like those eggs. By the way, I was impressed by a red one because I had never seen such an unrealistic color in natural scenery. A few steps away, there was a pond next to those hot springs, and some “ Victoria Regia” were inside it. Victoria Regia is a kind of lotus, having a bigger leaf than the common lotus is its main feature. You know what? It can support 20kg on its surface, even a kid can sit on it.

The Miffy bakery


    The second place is Yuhuin Onsen and Kinrin Lake. Yuhuin Onsen is also famous for its hot springs but we only went around the streets at that time. The streets were pretty due to the ancient houses on both sides. Although they became shops, they still give an elegant vibe. There was a bakery but all of the bread were shaped like Miffy and her friends! They were so cute that I stayed in the shop for a while. (they also sold Miffy dolls but my mom didn't let me buy them;;) After buying bread, we went to Kinrin Lake. The view was awesome! The water reflected the trees, the mountain, and the sky. It's just like a painting but vividly displayed in front of me. Besides, I ordered a cup of Macha from the cafe next to the lake. It was so hot that I couldn't help but buy a cold drink.

The last tourist spot is Takachiho Kyou Gorge. Although it took us almost three hours to get there, it was still worth it. We took a tour bus at first, I thought it could bring us to the destination. But it turned out to put us in the parking lot, and we needed to go downstairs and upstairs to finally enjoy the view. “Kill me!” that's what I said after I saw the stairs we were going to go. There were a lot of people, everyone was trying to get the best angle to take pictures of the three bridges. You must get high enough or you can't see all of them in the same picture. “Why am I spending so much time just to see three bridges?” I was wrong. The scenery is amazing! All I could see was green. The most natural view made me relax, and all the exhaustion disappeared at that moment. The only disadvantage of this trip was the weather, it was too hot that I had to keep drinking water to keep hydration. If you visit Takachiho Kyou Gorge in autumn, the scene will be even more beautiful because of the red leaves. It's said that there are different views in different seasons, and I also want to visit here in winter to see the snow covers everything making the world white. I will highly recommend you visit this place to see the true beauty of nature.




    Above are my share to Kyushu! If you like to go outside and find beautiful views, don't miss Kyushu!

    I love your trip to Fukuoka. Though it doesn’t look like a schedule for me because I can’t stand being in the sun for a long time, the views are really splendid. Maybe...I will choose some of them to go next time. The most impressive me is “Hells of Beppu”. And I think of the last time I went to Owakudani Kurotamagokan, where there is also that kind of “unnatural color”.

A Chill Holiday with Best Friend

圖片
     I have a friend, and we have known each other since we were in first grade in high school. With similar hobbies, we soon became close and always stayed together, no matter what we did. Time passed fast, she went to a university in Taipei, and I went to Tainan. She seldom goes home due to the expensive fare of high-speed rail; therefore, we only meet each other during long holidays. The last time we finally met each other again was when there was a long day off for Tomb Sweeping Day. We went to many places in the  New Jyuejiang Shopping Area, although we have been there many times, we still love wandering around there. We spent a really joyful afternoon with each other, which was so memorable that I want to share it with others, and also to record this memory.     I haven't seen her since the winter vacation ended, so we couldn't help but hug when we saw each other in the MRT station! We first searched for a restaurant to have lunch and tell each other ...

How to Take Care of Cats

    As a person who loves animals,  especially dogs and cats,  I not only play with them but also take care of them. In all situations, the hardest ones to take care of would be the babies and the sick ones. When I feed them and help them urinate, I find out that these little lives are growing under my care, and this feeling is very special, just like I am a mother.  To look after these little monsters who meow loudly all the time, there are actually many things that need to be done carefully, and I will show you what I learned in the stray animals club in the article.     When kittens are under one month old, milk must be fed every three hours. It's actually a tiring job because I need to set alarms to remind myself, even at midnight. In this age, kittens usually drink cat milk to gain energy. In the shelter, we usually feed them milk made from milk powder for kittens. There's one thing that needs to be noticed! Don't feed kittens the milk from cows, ...
