The best part about travelling here (and elsewhere too) is always coming across those small unexpected moments around every corner – getting lost in the big cities and nature, discovering and learning about things or places you had no idea of before. The kind of stuff I live for.

Only a few more days left in Japan… Starting to feel ready to get back to work and regular daily life again, but a part of me also wishes I could stay longer. Just love being in this country so much.

The top and middle rows are pretty firmly established top choices of mine, while the bottom one has titles which tend to change and shift around at any given day. Too many great games to pick from…

Jumping into the trend, my top 9.

It always pains me to see how many insanely skilled artists charge way too little for their work. So many of them go below minimum wage. Don't do this to yourself.

The menus between the two cafes actually offer different options, so I think that itself makes it worth visiting both if possible. If I had to choose one though, it would definitely be Akihabara – it has better mood and decoration while the Osaka cafe is more of a ”lite” version of the experience.

In Osaka right now, so I went to check the Eorzea Cafe here as well 🌮

Thank you! 🙏🙏

A display of N64 game manuals.

Souvenirs: a museum book and a Gamecube mug, to warm my millenial soul.

Mario at the flagpole and a castle in SMB1 style outside the museum.

I also went to check out the Nintendo Museum while in Kyoto. Unfortunately most of the interesting areas with prototypes, original paintings and concept sketches were photo-restricted, but I had a great time – definitely worth a visit!

A few pictures of my weekend in Kyoto 🌸

Inside the SAI interface, we see a sleeping woman with long gray-white hair, halo and veil. She has wings with sprouted flowers and a reptilian tail. Her black and white dress is also decorated with flowers. She is surrounded by mysterious scaly arms resembling the paws of a dragon.

Golbez / Final Fantasy IV (2021)

Yeah I get this feeling often after Japan trips too 🙈 in the end importing the stuff is so much more expensive, so better make use of the deals while here.

They were quite good! My favorites were definitely the desserts, loved the pancakes at Artnia today 😋
