The Boat Trip in Noto Sea - Ishikawa

31/07/2010

This trip was so sudden. Friends called me out to join  with them to  go to Ishikawa. I had already been to Kanazawa  but my love for traveling won. By 8.40 in the morning, I was waiting for my friends at the Toyama station.



These two bridges connect the Noto isalnd with Honshu, the main island of Japan.Leaving the second bridge brings you to Noto of Ishikawa prefecture. It is a place where no trains run, only buses.

I always wanted to visit here but the transportation was  a problem. Well, after all it was  a dream coming true.
We headed to "gan mon" of Ishikawa. A boat ride around the place shows you , the different natural patterns and designs on the rocks in the beach. Being different from the sea we saw at the other side of the Noto Island the Sea near ganmon is really windy and rough. Well, it resembles the beaches of Sri Lanka.

The fee for the boat ride of 20 minutes is 1000yen. It is fun when it rides the waves but I still felt it was just  a little too high for what we get in return . But the nature is still priceless.

Onabe - Japanese Hot Pot

15/05/2010 It was after spending the evening at Thai Festival 2010 in Yoyogi,Shibuya. The dinner was decided on "Nabe" at a shibuya chain restaurant of Japanese hot pot. I have always loved nabe. I have had shabu shabu hotpot, sukiyaki hotpot and seafood hotpot at Japanese houses and this was the first time I am having it at a restaurant. So I thought of sharing some moments of the supreme happiness of eating Nabe - the Japanese hotpot. Beef, eggs and the vegetables  The whole table of ingredients for the Nabe in one shot Shabu shabu and sukiyaki on one hotplate finally you dip the boiled slice of meat in the "tare" and eat. This chain restaurant is in Shibuya and limitless "tabehoudai" for less than 2000yen. Good service and loved the meat.   All Rights Reserved.

Borobudur - Yogyakarta

2014/05/06 Borobudur is the worlds largest Buddhist temple, hence UNESCO World Heritage Site. We had plans to watch the sunrise at Borbudur over Mount Merapi. So it was an early trip to the temple around 4.30 in the dark by torch light, wait for the sunrise enjoy the view from the top of the temple, have breakfast at Manohara hotel and leave. It was pitch dark in the night, not much moon. The torchlight showed us the way and a silhouette of a temple came in to view when our eyes gradually got used to the dark. With the first rays of sunlight, we saw Mount Merapi. The beautiful but vicious volcano fuming. Loved it! All around the place is covered in mist, so the actual surroundigs are yet to be confirmed. By now the temple, which we  have already climbed and waiting at the  top, is coming in to view. The stupas, carvings and statues gradually emerge. The temple is a symmetrical stupa, consisting of nine stacked platforms: six squar...
