For me, a picture-perfect family is just a matter of perspective.

The first time i saw her was on MTV. She reminds me of Haim. When i saw her music video, i thought it was Haim. I like her music and her exceptionally beautiful figures. And i can't believe that she's only 20 (!) because her voice is mature enough.

Look at those eyebrows...

No kidding that she's also a model

She is a British-Albanian cool girl

Love her gorgeous natural hair so much

It's my 9th day in Japan and our last destination was Kyoto. The idea was to try out some kimono and feel pretty.

This was what we had to go through. We walked up to the hill to find a good kimono rental store. It's kinda pricey, though. If you want to see my choice of kimono, you can see on my Instagram @fi_risa. After changing, we went straight to the temple to take some photos.

This was the view from the top of the temple. Refreshing...

After the temple trip, we went down to the local markets. And look what we found, some kind of Totoro village going on here... It's so cute, there even has a giant Totoro sitting comfortly.

Just a street in Kyoto that is so peaceful.

Then we went back to Osaka... to do some last shopping, sadly.

My last look of Osaka :'(

I was waiting for my cousin on the outside of Apple store and two girls carrying 1D Official Shop bags walked in front of me. I stopped them immediately and asked them where was this heavenly store of 1D. Then i found it. Normally i just give you this 1 teaser because i didnt have much time to take photos of the store, i was 'a bit' preoccupied.

This is Pablo, a super delicious tart shop in Shinsaibashi. I've wanted to go there the first time i saw it. I tried its chocolate tart and it tasted like heaven. One is not enough.

Just a glimpse of Osaka when i was flying to Tokyo...

A serene view near the Osaka Castle

Street food! The legendary and authentic takoyaki

I tried one of these. It's strawberry-flavored mochi topped with strawberry. I got so interested by the look of them

I dont know what this building is exactly but it looks cool, like anciently cool...

Now this is the castle...

The view when i reached the top of the castle

It's always so exciting when i went to mini markets in Japan. There were lots of cute and fascinating food, drinks and stuff to find. For example, this almond milk from Glico. So yum...

On the 6th day, we moved to Osaka using Shinkanshen.

This was the view from my window, Mount Fuji...

We made a quick visit to Shinsaibashi, a fantastic space for shopping enthusiasts. It's a long long road, believe me.

We were sooo excited for this! We planned to visit the haunted house that is ultimately scary and the world's famous killer roller coaster, Fujiyama. Those were the priorities.

We spent hours and hours to get to Fujikyu Highland. It's a Japanese theme park near the Mount Fuji, so it's undoubtedly cold and windy

This is the haunted house i'm talking about. You can buy a charm too. They say that if you have the charm, the ghost will be weakened. But it's no fun right? Duuuh. Turns out i felt so deppressed in here...I even fell on my two fucking knees.

This was my cure after the 30-mins journey in the haunted house. I literally ran out of breath because of running and screaming. My heart was beating so fast. And i was not exaggerating. I couldn't even join my cousins for Fujiyama roller coaster because i was still exhausted. But the haunted house is definitely worth a try, believe me.

This made me calm and warm a bit too

Out for dinner in Shinjuku

I ordered salted salmon. It was sooo tasty...

We went there to take a picture with the famous Hachiko statue in Shibuya and find my cousin' treasure, Adidas Y3...

The first picture when i got in Shibuya

I found Ashley Yukaaa. She posted this ad on her Instagram as well. What an adorable girl...

I found this 'fossil' at Seibu mall in Shibuya. It's a cool object you can find in a mall

Then i found Kikooo... This Panasonic ad is spreading everywhere, from building to trains.

Harajuku...

What a view...

This keeps me going... It's Georgia coffee

I visited Lush store in Harajuku and it's a cute, natural, homey store. These are the examples of their masks and it smells sooo good, especially the 'rosy something' one. I got so interested in this because i didn't find this kind of thing in Indonesia.

Look! They're making a face cleanser!

A quiet long road in Harajuku... So calming

And then went to the crowded street again...

Back to Shinjukuuu

We were invited to the dinner with my uncle's relatives from Japan at The Shinjuku Washington Hotel. Yummm medium rare...

This was the chef for that night. He was making fried rice

Time for dessert. It's a sorbet with cream and fruits. A perfect ending...

I went to Gotemba Premium Outlets, where they provide local and international highend fashion brands, from casual ones to posh ones. Here, people mostly brought their super cute dogs with them. There are 2 sides at this place - east and west, so you better wear your comfiest shoes. There are lots of exciting stores to go in to, and discounts for tourists as well. When i got there, it was raining and windy so it was shivering.
