This was my first time using the lounge at Shizuoka Airport. There was a huge variety of teas! As expected from Shizuoka!

“If we don’t make more merit and only eat the old merit, it will eventually run out. It’s like water in a jar. If we don’t add more, it will eventually run out.” 🙏 Wat Phu Lum Khum - Located at Ban Nong Nok Khian, Rom Klao Subdistrict, Nikhom Kham Soi District, Mukdahan Province. 🙏 How to get there - From Kalasin, there is the Kalasin-Mukdahan Expressway. - From Yasothon or Amnat Charoen, drive straight to Nikhom Kham Soi. Before reaching Nikhom Kham Soi on the left, there will be a sign for the entrance for about 10 kilometers. - From Mukdahan, drive until you reach the Nikhom Kham Soi traffic light intersection. Drive straight ahead, there will be a sign telling you to make a U-turn on the right, then turn left and drive straight for about 10 kilometers. 🙏 The temple is open and closed from 06:30 - 17:00. - The way up to the temple is a hillside from the temple gate. The way up is very narrow, be careful of oncoming cars. There are also sharp curves. - I like this temple very much because it is on a mountain, but the temple has built a large reservoir for its own use. - There are buildings on the temple. Whether it is a large bell-shaped pagoda, the top has a beautiful view, you can see wind turbines too. #Wat Phu Lum Khum #Ban Nong Nok Khian #Nikhom Kham Soi #Mukdahan Province #Go to the temple to make merit #Please follow #Dhamma Sanchar Bhikkhu

Traveling to Japan, I mainly use Trip.com to book hotels. The prices are good and not more expensive than other apps. We traveled on our own, so we mainly used Trip.com to book hotels because the reviews were accurate. They told us about various locations, transportation, shopping areas, and routes. We traveled to Fuji in November. The weather was starting to get cold. The mountains were beautiful. On the way up, the leaves were changing colors. It was very beautiful. In Tokyo, it was starting to get cold. #Places to visit in Japan #Travel to Japan on your own

#ShizuokaTourism #ShizuokaAirport #Mt.FujiShizuokaAirport After arriving at Shizuoka Airport, I wondered what to eat... There is a 7-Eleven on the first floor, but I feel like sitting down and eating🤔 Should I go up to the second floor and get pasta? Soba? Udon? Ramen? Go up to the third floor and get sushi? After much deliberation, I decided to have a matcha latte and toast at the cafe at the back of the second floor☺️ I was able to charge my phone while eating🔌 The toast and latte were both delicious😊 I'd like to eat there again the next time I use the airport🍞
