Ah, it's been quite a long time since my last update!
Apologies, this fall semester was easily the busiest and most exhausting semester of college. Seriously, I've never felt so pushed to the edge on deadlines and attending to a ton of "adult" responsibilities.
However, near the end of the semester I couldn't deal with constant reminders of school anymore, on November 11th, I took my favorite cousin and her husband to the Japanese Tea Garden! Actually, I just recommended the idea and they both agreed, the only actual part I was showing them was Japantown. I was practically their tour guide, which was very pleasant, this blog entry isn't too long because her husband got called into work around 5:30 PM. . Ironically enough, as we rushed back home, he received a call saying the restaurant was too slow and that he didn't have to come in. A real shame, I had wished that I could of showed them much more.
I quite like the Japanese Tea Garden, it's very relaxing and carries a breathe of fresh air atmosphere. It's not a sight that'll have you blown out of your mind, however, you'll certainly admit that it's quite a breathtaking experience.

 |
| Ah, this photo speaks louder than any caption that I could come up with. |
 |
| The very unique bridge, many individuals had to be extra careful as to not fall down. My cousin's husband was hesitant to climb it, lol. |
 |
| ＼(￣▽￣( |
 |
| Ah, I wonder what would happen if I brought Han (my kitten) to the garden. . I probably wouldn't ever end up finding him. lol. |
 |
| Mini Pagoda! ( ﾟ,_ゝﾟ) |
 |
| Interesting, too much kanji for me to read accurately though. |
 |
| Ah, everything is very graceful in the Japanese Tea Garden. Naturally, we would associate anything graceful with the ability to move, however. . I beg to differ in this case, it's certainly a sight to behold yourself. |
 |
| Zen Garden, I've always seen those mini versions that people buy at Daiso. But, I've never seen one of this size in person, the very sight had all my worry and troubles dissipate. |
 |
| Koi fish, sadly at the time there wasn't beside these two out for the morning sunshine. |
 |
| We all decided to order a cup of traditional tea, I chose the Hojicha tea, unique because it's roasted in a porcelain pot over charcoal. . delicious, the view accompanying made it that much more pleasant. |
 |
| Hmm, come to think of it. . I consume so much tea, most people would assume I would get tired of it. No, not in the slightest, rather I couldn't live without it. ヽ(゜∇゜)ノ |
 |
| Ah, when will I be able to proficiently read kanji? One day, someday soon. . |
 |
| 谢谢 |
 |
| For some reason, I can't help but feel very drawn to this photo. I love everything about it, certainly feels like they're walking to paradise. |
 |
| Ah, so many Quickly opening all over, especially in San Francisco. . Goodness, you'll be able to locate a Quickly almost anywhere. |
 |
| Kiehl's! Ah, quite disappointed in myself, have been long wanting to try out the raved about product, Midnight Recovery Concentrate! (▰˘◡˘▰) |
 |
| Skin Food! I actually purchased the Black Sugar Foam cleanser, super love the effectiveness and overall gentle cleansing. Was fortunate to pick up some Glacier Water Hydrogel masks too! Last time I came with Rina, the store had actually sold out because the popularity of the item. |
 |
| Peach Sake pore line! I've always been tempted to try, although I've seen far too many mixed reviews leaving me undecided on whether to purchase it or not. However, the scent is very tempting, one day. . Perhaps. |
 |
| Peach. |
 |
| Interesting. . sample, please? Haha, I wish. |
 |
| Brown Sugar line! A variety of interesting products, I've tried the Black Sugar mask wash off and I quite enjoyed it. However, the strawberry x black sugar mask wash off has an irresistible scent, certainly a must have for the near future! |
 |
| Tokyo Express! The quick go to spot in the food court of Stonestown mall, cannot tell whether this lady was looking at the camera or . . (″･ิ_･ิ)っ |
 |
| ユニクロ |
 |
| Ramen! Ah, tasty. . Certainly should of made a vlog entry, although we were in such a rush that there wasn't enough time. |
 |
Quick stop to Mitsu Teahouse, as many of you know, I've been a long supported since the Cherry Blossom festival early in the year! Delicious, as always. .
Was sad to leave abruptly, especially since an hour later we discovered we could of stayed much longer. (￣。￣)～ｚｚｚ |
It was such a humble experience to visit the Japanese Tea Garden, I truly can't wait until the day that I step foot in Japan. Ah, with each passing year, I can't help but wish there was more free time to travel. As well, you know, additional money would be nice to cover the expenses.
I hope to offer a variety of new content very soon!
On my main blog, as well my 2nd blog: Taohyun-review.blogspot.com
Thank you for reading, as well the continued support, I'm wishing you all the absolute best.
If i could give any advice from what I've learned through the amount of stress this fall semester, I would warn of overworking your mind and body, you've worked hard and certainly deserve a break.
Please take care of your health too, as this is a very important aspect that plays a major role in our lives.
Until next time,
Tao
