Huis Ten Bosch is the most important place to visit out of all the items in our itinerary so we decided to stay there from morning until the train's last trip. 

From Hakata Station in Fukuoka, we reserved the seats of the JR train that leaves Hakata Station at around 8 AM. It took us around two hours to get from Hakata to the station in Huis Ten Bosch but it was very convenient since we just slept and sightsee all throughout the train ride. 

The current price list in the park.

Several weeks ago, there was still a day pass being sold online which costs 3,500 YEN but the promo ended last February so we had to avail the 7,000 YEN ticket which is called 1-day passport... with it, you can make use of the 50 attractions inside and you can also ride the bus and boat which will take you around the park. We wanted the day pass since we weren't thinking of riding anyway. Madami na kasing tao nagpupunta kaya siguro tinanggal na 'yon.

Purchasing online was actually cheaper and we would've boughts our tickets online as well but we were hoping na meron pang day pass ticket kaya doon na kami bumili.

This is definitely one of the most beautiful places that I have been to and it should be a lot more beautiful now that the cherry blossoms are blooming. 

This may be a theme park but if you're into rides, then you might not enjoy it that much 'cause there aren't a lot of rides and lines in VR were long. We didn't go for any of the rides but the beauty of the place though and it exceeded our expectations. 

This place with all the tulips that looks so beautiful you can mistake them to be fake is their version of Holland. <3

Dito muna dahil hindi pa afford 'yung totoo.

This was the time I realized that I like flowers but only if they're planted and not on bouquets. Maybe that's the reason why I like going to parks filled with flowers wherever I go.

Example:

Taiwan's Flower Farm link: here.
Las Vegas' Bellagio Conservatory link: here.
Seoul's Botanic Park link: here.
San Francisco's Lombard Hill link: here.

I was told by friends who've been to Amsterdam that this place really look like Amsterdam. Grabe. Ganyan pa lang, kinikilig na ko hahaha!

Spring is the best season to travel but it can get a little bit crowded and if not timed properly, the trees still look like winter (like the photo above) but yeah, coming from the Philippines where the season is just summer and real summer (lol), any place with temperature that goes below 15 degrees Celsius is my travel destination goal. HAHAHA ANO RAW?!

Nakipagsiksikan pa kami sa Yufuin for that light yellow houses (right side), tapos meron din naman pala dito. 

One of the attractions included in the one day passport is the teddy bear musuem. We weren't able to try the Virtual Reality rides because we got carried away from all the sightseeings in the park. <3

This place is called the Fisherman's Square.

I think from the wooden flooring and the water front, this place is pattered from San Francisco's Pier 39.  There's also a nearby carousel so why not!! ahaha

Everywhere in Huis Ten Bosch is a picture spot kaya sulit na sulit si 7,000 yen! 

Masama pa loob namin nung una kasi nga wala talaga kaming balak mag rides pero napilitan kami kunin 'yung tig-7,000 pero keri, lampake, it was suliiiiiiiit in our own way. <3

After walking around the park, we decided to head out to rest and eat pero maraming food/restaurants sa loob, pinili lang namin lumabas para sa part two. hahaha you're free to enter again kasi so we made use of that para sa isang ikot pa and to wait for the spectacular light displays at night.

Mousse Blush
P 180.00/ 10 ML tube + Shipping Fee


For some reason, both the Clay Blushes didn't work for me so I'm only left with this mousse blush to review.

Tootsie shade, as per their description, is a warm rose that adds depth to your look. 

A little goes a long way with this product so that P 180.00 would really be worth it. And I read before that you can also use this as a blush and eye shadow.

 It's build-able and it is stays long on the lips unless you're gonna eat or drink 'cause based on my experience, it never lasts after a meal... if you get what I mean. (Or I can be the problem here 'cause none of my lipsticks does)

It feels light, dry and a bit powdery on the lips, perfect to be used in our weather 'cause it's not sticky but the color is there. I noticed though that if left idle for quite some time, the oil separates so you have to shake it well before using. 

For the ingredients, their mousse blushes are All vegan; Candellila wax - VCO - Grapeseed oil - Iron oxide - Shea butter

Btw, I brought it with me when I went to South Korea last winter 'cause I figured this should be mild enough to be used on my dry lips but I was only able to use it everytime we were coming out from the hotel and not for retouching when we're outside 'cause it solidified. This shouldn't be a problem in the Philippines though - baka nga ma-sobrahan pa sa tunaw kapag andito sa atin. :)))

My friend wasn't into hiking/trekking but wanted to experience riding a cable car so I had to crossout Amnam Park Coastal Walk and reserve it for next time. :))

What we did was rode the bus all the way to the park and ride the one-way cable car from the hill to the beach. 

For the rates,

Regular Cabin is 15,000 KRW for round trip, 11,000 KRW for one-way
Crystal Cabin is 20,000 KRW for round trip, 15,000 KRW for one-way. 

What I'm gonna do next time:

Ride the cable car from Songdo beach to the hill and then trek down through the trail. <3 

Of course, we took the crystal cabin. <3 hahaha! Daming budget? 😂

I've also seen this place featured in Two Days, One Night so my heart is happy. <3

I'm saving you for my next Busan Trip, Songdo Coastal Walk!

Igidae Coastal Walk link: here. 

Always excited with cable car rides no matter how many times I've ridden. :)) 

Maokong Cable Car, Taiwan link: here.

The are different though since Maokong is a ride through the mountains while Songdo is over the ocean. 

Songdo is one of the busy beaches in Busan because there are a lot of attractions in the area such as the Skywalk in the picture above. Also, I heard that it is the oldest beach in Busan. 

After the cable car ride, you there's a skywalk and a park in the area. You can also walk along the beach which gets packed and crowded during summer or you may try the cafes and restaurants there too.
