I ❤️ Shinjuku - Tokyo 2023 - 10-21-2023

A Day in Shinjuku, Tokyo's Tech and Shopping Hub
 

After indulging in a delightful sushi feast at Kurasushi, we decided to head to Shinjuku, a bustling district in Tokyo known for its impressive array of gadget shops. Tokyo, a city that seamlessly blends tradition with cutting-edge technology, is renowned for its high-quality gadgets. What's even more appealing is that these tech treasures often come with a price tag that's significantly cheaper than what we'd find back home in the Philippines.


Shinjuku isn't just a tech paradise; it's also the commuting capital of Tokyo, boasting the busiest train station in the world. Amid the hustle and bustle, you'll find some of Tokyo's tallest buildings reaching for the sky, a testament to the city's architectural prowess. But Shinjuku isn't all work and no play. The district is also home to a plethora of shopping malls, bars, and clubs, offering endless entertainment options for locals and tourists alike.
Our primary destination in Shinjuku was BIC Camera, a popular electronics and gadget store. Known for its extensive selection of the latest phones and accessories, BIC Camera is a tech enthusiast's dream come true. As soon as we stepped inside, we were greeted by a dizzying array of gadgets. It was almost overwhelming, with so many items vying for attention that it was hard to focus on just one.
 
From the latest smartphones boasting cutting-edge features to the newest PlayStation consoles for the gaming aficionados, BIC Camera had it all. If I had the funds, I would have surely walked out of there with a brand new phone and PlayStation in tow. But for now, window shopping amidst the sea of tech innovations was an experience in itself.

 
Our day in Shinjuku was a testament to Tokyo's status as a global tech and shopping hub. Whether you're a gadget geek, a shopping enthusiast, or simply a curious traveler, Shinjuku has something to offer. And who knows? You might just find that perfect gadget you've been dreaming of, at a price that won't break the bank.
Location: Shinjuku City, Tokyo, Japan

I ♥ Puting Buhangin Pagbilao - Quezon (2012) - 09/29/2012

Image
I always pray for good weather when planning an out-of-town trip, as a typhoon can easily disrupt carefully planned travels. Fortunately, when we visited Puting Buhangin in Pagbilao, Quezon, the weather remained clear. I had been longing to visit this place since last year, but unforeseen circumstances always led to cancellations. Growing up in Quezon province, I felt a deep connection to this destination and wanted to appreciate the beauty of my hometown.   Initially, I had planned a solo backpacking trip and shared my travel plans online out of excitement. That's when I received a message from Mac, who expressed curiosity about my travels. I proposed the idea of going together to Puting Buhangin to cut down on expenses. Without hesitation, Mac agreed to join me on this adventure.   On the day of the tour, heavy rain poured down, making me fear that the trip would once again be cancelled. I reached out to Mac via SMS to confirm if he still wanted to go. If he had changed his mind

I ♥ PMA BAguio City 12/12/2010

Philippine Military Academy (PMA) Baguio Philippine Military Academy (PMA) Baguio was the first tourist spot I visited in this humble city. I went there last 2008 with my college friends and I really enjoyed our short stay there. There is no restriction in visiting the area. However, due to its gaining popularity they implemented policies that may annoy some first time travelers.  All visitors entering PMA must have individual valid IDs. A person without a valid ID can't enter PMA. If you're in a group and you don't have ID, you will be instructed to get off the jeepney at the gate and wait for your companions with IDs while they're enjoying the tour. Also, wearing slippers is a big no-no when you wanted to enter its premises. Even though you are wearing your expensive flip-flops the security personnel won't show any mercy and you may be force to await your companion at the gate. They promote wearing shoes because people who wanted to visit the area shou

I ♥ Batis Aramin Lucban Quezon 03/13/2011

  Batis Aramin Lucban Quezon Batis Aramin Resort, Hotel and Adventure Camp is just one of the few resorts near my hometown Tayabas, Quezon. We went there when we visited the well-known Catholic Pilgrimage site called “Kamay ni Hesus” which lies on the foot of Mt. Banahaw last 2011. You won't be lost to find the place because it is just on the other side of the popular retreat camp Kamay ni Hesus which is located in Malupak, Lucban Quezon. We don't have enough money to pay the 100 pesos entrance fee but because we wanted to explore the place we just made an alibi to the security personnel that we just wanted to do an ocular visit and see if we wanted to stay. The security personnel was very kind and he let the 5 of us enter the vicinity we just left our ID's for record updating.  There were a lot of guess that time. I saw a lot of private cars with LaSalle University stickers probably they rented the place for retreat. I never expected the resort to be so beautif
