Mom Violy suggested trying Crisostomo, a Filipino restaurant inside Robinsons Magnolia. Carmina forwarded the menu for her to choose what she wanted to eat, while Carmina already knew her order.

Day 2: Stop # 1 Tokyo Bayoasis in Japan

My sister had booked us a Japan Kanto Tour through Supera Tour. You may booked with them online from their new website: https://www.superatours.com/tour/japan-kanto-6-days-2020 There is always time for a snack while you are touring around the area which my family love the most when traveling together. I am their photographer taking their pictures. You will notice most of the time I am not in their picture taking and I am taking my own pictures with using my selfie monopod which becomes my first favorite thing to bring with me when I travel.

Just Arrived in Hilton Tokyo Bay in Japan 2017

I  was able to go to Japan in the spring season which is on the month of March, April and May. This is your chance to see the cherry blossom on the trees. My mom and I had arrived in Japan and stayed at the Hilton Tokyo Bay that is easy access to Disneyland Japan. We had met my sister and her family at the hotel arriving different country. My mom and I didn't go to Disneyland Japan while my sister and her family went. We just stayed in the hotel before our tour started the next day. This is the lobby of the hotel. NOT SPONSORED.

Day 3: Stop # 2 Ngong Ping 360 in Hong Kong Year 2019

  My sister in-law had schedule and arrange everything to ride the  Ngong Ping 360 to reach the big buda and explore the surrounding. This was my first time visiting this place and I really enjoyed it you will need more days to see the full surrounding to complete the whole area. Those who are really into nature will love to hike inside and reach up to the Buda I didn't have that chance due I was among Senior Citizen's and there was limits when you are with them. As well we didn't have enough time since we have arrived late in the afternoon and we would be riding the last ride coming back to the main land. I suggest you to do this in the morning and book ahead to purchase your ticket. We have just arrived time to do some walking and explore the area to take some pictures.
