@tintin and @korinasegaya's favorite area, Harajuku is made up of many cute retail shops. It's known to be the mecca for Japanese youth culture. We loved it so much that we went back on our last day in Tokyo for some last minute shopping! 👟🛍 The photo shows the starting point of the famous Takeshita Dori (from Harajuku Station). That sea of people is a usual sight on weekends. Come on a weekday if you don't want to drown in the crowd (but honestly, cutting through the people to get to stores was an experience in itself). 🌈

You’re in for the (culture) shock of your life at Harajuku, Tokyo’s street fashion capital and alternative youth lifestyle hub. Spot teens flaunting outrageous costumes, mismatched styles, and punk-rock makeup as they casually strut their stuff along the district. Ask kindly, and they’ll even let you photograph them! While you’re here, get your fix of Japan’s over-the-top kawaii trend (かわいい, cute) at Takeshita Dori. It’s actually a street crammed with clothing boutiques, specialty stores, and fashionable food outlets. Take a break at Marion Crepes, and re-energize with one of the yummy (and pretty) French desserts displayed on the window.

Bantayan Island
Bantayan Island is one of the fast growing destinations in the Northern part of Cebu. This beautiful island known for its crystal blue waters and white sand beaches. While going around the island you’ll be able to spot cliff jumping spots that you cannot miss! But remember to be safe and check the condition of the water before jumping in. While on the island, you can rent a boat to go island hopping! The Virgin Island is one of the islands that you should not miss while in Bantayan. This island is indeed very underrated but who are we to complain right? As much as it deserves more attention, tourist would rather have the island all to themselves. It’s like a well kept secret in Cebu! Have you also heard about an island called Kalanggaman in Leyte? You can get there from Bantayan in 2 hours! It’s a beautiful long stretch of sand bar that looks like a place straight out of a post card. You can swim and takes lots of pictures while also enjoying the things that the little beautiful island has to offer in terms of food and activities. This little island is proud of its hidden beaches and islets! While going around the island on your rented motorcycle, be sure to ask the locals about some hidden spots. You’ll be surprised how many they have. And the best thing? These places would be the main attraction for other countries, but in the Philippines? It’s just a random beach that you happen to pass by! Sometimes it doesn’t even have a name yet! Imagine the privilege right? Be a responsible traveler please!
Sentosa Island
Here are also other places to explore and try while you’re in the very amazing Sentosa Island! There’s the colorful Candylicious, the oh so Fortune Street, Lake of Dreams, and the “wow” Sentosa Merlion, and the best part was the Skyline Luge! 🏙 oh! And not to forget, The Siloso Beach is also a few steps away from the Luge, it will give you a calming and relaxing vibe after the strenuous activities you enjoyed!
