Kofuku-ji is another iconic temple in Nara. The most famous structure is probably the five-storied pagoda which stands right beside the East Golden Hall.
When we got there, other structures were under renovation so we couldn't go in.

Once you get up to the top of Osaka Castle, you get to see the surrounding. Osaka Castle used to be the tallest building back in 1500's. Nowadays, it is definitely not the tallest building as any normal building can go taller than this castle.
The contrast between this castle in comparison to other modern buildings around Osaka Castle is pretty strong. It is amazing how fast technology has advanced that once so called tallest building became one of the shortest in the city. Time flies...

Before having dinner with my parents, I still got a bit of time to capture some photos in Causeway Bay. I decided to get into the crowd and try to take the photo of the pedestrians. By using a slower shutter speed and with the help of IBIS, I was able to capture this movement.
Hong Kong is a busy city; it is always on the go. If this is your first time in Hong Kong, you will definitely be surprised how fast people move :)

Vancouver is considered to be one of the bike friendly cities in Canada. There are so many bike lanes which allow cyclists to bike in Vancouver, Downtown and Richmond without any problem. I, myself, really enjoy biking at night as you can explore places that are hard to get by cars.
When it comes to gear, I will try to be as light as possible since biking in a long period of time can be tiring. Usually, I will just bring one camera, one lens, and one mini tripod. That is already that maximum weight I can bring during my bike session :D

After visiting the Facebook Dexter, my friends and I dropped by the Amazon Spheres. Our initial plan was to check out Amazon Go which is a convenience store without any line and checkout. You pretty much scan your ID, grab the items, and go. The problem is that there aren't many stuffs to buy from there so we left after 5-10 mins.
The Amazon Spheres is just right beside the store. It has a pretty unique architecture design where it looked like three golf balls connected together. The design reminds me of the Science World in Vancouver....

Inside of Lanyang Museum, it is divided into different exhibitions. Every single exhibition is related to Yilan so I do recommend buying the full ticket so that you get to see every exhibition and learn about Yilan.
What interests me the most was the architecture of this building, both exterior and interior. It is pretty unreal to see it in person. I am glad that I took a wide angle lens with me :D

In the next morning, I decided to take a day trip to Yokohama. Because the coronavirus at that time didn't spread to Japan yet, everything seemed pretty normal and Yokohama was full of both locals and tourists.
I was lucky that when I arrived to the Yokhama Red Brick Warehouse, they were having winter festival with many booths on the other side. These red brick warehouse is definitely one of the landmarks in Yokohama and since it is very close to the Ramen Museum, I will recommend to check this place out :)

This bridge is very iconic in Causeway Bay; it has some much history as many movies were filmed here as well. This spot is also a popular location for many photographers for portraits and cityscape shots. I find the bridge super unique because of the design and shapes.

Once we got out of the station, the first thing we saw is pretty much the Tower of the Sun. It is designed by Taro Okamoto. It is the most iconic symbol for the Expo Commemoration Park.
There are three faces for this tower. Two in the front and one from the back. For me, this tower looks like a giant bird :)
Location: Tower of the Sun, Suita (Osaka)
I am not a big fans of Starbucks as I always find their coffee a bit too sour of my taste. When I was planning my trip to Uji, many people recommended me to check this Starbucks out as this is the first one in Uji town.
In addition, this Starbucks is distinguished by very Japanese-style architecture. Also there is a Japanese garden at the back where customers can enjoy. Personally, I think this is a smart move as Starbucks tried to blend into Uji's culture instead of making another "typical-looking" of Starbucks.
