Murals and street art
address - 316, Beach St, Georgetown, 10300 George Town, Penang, Malaysia
how to get there - took a grab and walk
atttractions - mural art hunting along Penang street art street. really crowded and sunny. went on a mural and local food hunt. best of all? its free! you can follow a map on google or walk along the street and see where fate brings you to. got to queue to take photos though. had a pit stop somewhere to eat dim sum and white curry. fun day nonetheless!

Arashiyama park
#2023travelwish
located at Kyoto Japan, take the JR San-in or Sagano lines to Saga-Arashiyama Station.
one of the Kyoto finest park, Arashiyama park. it’s located near the famous bamboo forest but it’s so much more. my first time seeing autumn leaves in real life. wishing to see the next full bloom when I visit. falling leaves have an alluding charm. it’s very beautiful. you can take a boat ride near the river, drop by a tofu restaurant which sells excellent food (reservation needed) take a slow stroll from park to the bamboo groves. beauty is everywhere as long as you look hard enough, but in this case you don’t even need to try hard.

Griffith Observatory
address: 2800 East Observatory Road
Los Angeles, CA 90027
(213) 473-0800
not going to lie, we drove to griffith after visiting the renowned Hollywood sign, which you are able to see from Griffith. parking lots were plenty however it is a popular attraction hence might need to spend time finding parking.
free admission with lots to see if you’re into telescope and stuff. this place is one of the few in the world that still produces exclusively live planetarium shows if you like such stuff.
also, because of how central it’s located and because it’s up the hill, it’s located at a good spot where you can oversea the skyline of LA. beautiful.
do check for operating hours. HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you’re in LA.

Cloudstreet
address: 84 amoy street, singapore 069903
worthy of the 2 michelin star and Asia 50 best (#44 2022) position. it was a lovely dining experience! love that every course comes with utensil change and they provide different chopstick/fork holder to match the dishes. very detailed oriented. dish plating’s good. staff were attentive. able to change dish if you cannot eat beef (like me)
went for their lunch menu. was really full at the end of the meal. it was very satisfying. even the desserts had multiple variety. they really thought of everything. do make a reservation early :)
average spend: S$300/pax without alcohol
