Crayon ShinChan Run 2024 + Sulwhasoo: Rebirth of Ginseng Pop-up

Image
I am lucky to have kakis around me who enjoy a fun run from time to time, and they usually keep me posted on interesting runs, such as the Crayon ShinChan Run which was held at The Palawan Green, Sentosa . The slots were fully sold out pretty fast, and I am glad that I managed to secure my slot!  Upon receiving an alert message via the JomRun Ap p, I made my way to The Central, Clarke Quay to pick up my race pack. The collection of the race pack was pretty smooth and there were many parents signing up together with their kids, as this is a good start to relay messages to kids on the importance of regular exercising and staying healthy. All participants received a Crayon ShinChan Yellow Bucket Hat and a random keyring upon collection the race pack. I liked the design of the cute Crayon ShinChan tee. I know I sound like a little girl, but oh well, there is always the kid in me. Apart from the runners’ entitlement, this event also offered bonding and quality time spent together. We...

[Japan Fall Vacation] 2D1N in Kinosaki Onsen

We said goodbye to Okayama after spending 3 nights there. We were excited to head to our next destination, Kinosaki Onsen . We checked out of the hotel in the morning, and after having our breakfast in the hotel, we made our way to the JR station to board the JR Limited Express . The journey was around 2.5hours.  Upon reaching Kinosaki Onsen Station , we took the complimentary shuttle to our accommodation. We booked a night's stay at Nishimuraya Hotel Shogetsutei - a traditional ryokan in Kinosaki Onsen. It offers a blend of Japanese aesthetics and modern comforts. We were given a welcome drink at the hotel lobby bar while waiting for our room to be ready. At the same time, we each received a ¥1000 cash voucher to purchase some omiyage from the hotel itself.  You could also use the vouchers for their special private onsens, but we decided to use these vouchers for souvenirs instead! Upon checking in, we informed the staff to fix our time-slot for our dinner! The room w...
