Bucket List Item # 45 - Explore the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Osaka, Japan

Exploring the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, is one of the many goals and dreams of a Potterhead.

November 2016, I, all by myself, flew to Osaka to explore and to feel how it is to be a witch. Super loved the experience! I didn't even spent an hour to other part of Universal Studios Osaka because I was just so amazed and stunned by the beauty of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter that I spent the whole day roaming around in its vicinity.

I stayed at a hostel called the J-Hoppers. I highly recommend this one. If I will go visit WWoHH once more, I will definitely lodge in here again. Cheap price but very comfortable stay and friendly staffs. I walked like 15-20 minutes from USJ to J-Hoppers.

 Ticket secured, ready to explore! :)

 Going to USJ Osaka, it is normal to see Hogwarts student walking around. Feel free to wear your best robes when visiting.

























 You can sit anywhere you'd like to when watching them perform.
















 







I took lots of pictures but best not to include everything here cause it might bore you. haha

 It was indeed a very unforgettable experience. I am all alone but it didn't felt like it, because I am home. :)

Start of a Journey and my Bucket List item # 4



"What do I want to do in my life?" is the constant question I have in mind ever since 2013. I have always been struggling in finding myself up until recently. Back then, I decided to create a bucket list, a list of a hundred things I want to do ( just to be able to find which is going to be my lifetime passion). I started working on my list by the year 2014. For the entire year I was able to finished 25 items out of 100. By the year 2015 and 2016 I have forgotten about my list and so come 2017 I revised my bucket list. Guess how many items I was able to complete for the year 2017? hahaha. 17 items only and the other items were already completed from my previous list.





So now it's 2018, I didn't made any list, I was planning to continue my last year's list. Until the first quarter of this year I realized that I am not doing anything to fulfill that list. I again felt empty, lack of purpose, motivation and  drive to achieve my goals. Then one day it come to my senses that I am now getting 27 years old this year and I felt that finding myself this time is a must. I still don't know what to do in my life. This is when I come up with an idea. For the next 100 days I will ask myself and put it into note, "What do I want?". I am a very indecisive person, I might want this now and dislike it later. I might want to pursue it now and put it aside later. So I decided that for the next 100 days I will get to know myself. I will constantly ask myself each day what do I want? Come the 100th day, I listed down the things I want to do in my life, those constant things that showed up in my diary. I also decided to gather all my bucket list from 2014 to 2017 and determined to make a bucket list of a life time. I compiled all the finished and unfinished items that I still want to pursue. I removed some finished items that doesn't make sense to me at the moment. So now, I have created a final list! Finally! A bucket list of 120 items. From 2014 up to the present. To put a little twist, I decide to finish the list in a span of 1,234 days, the last day being my 30th birthday! :) I decided that every Sunday I will post at least one of my finished item just to share my journey. 


Today is the first day of the 1,234 days. Not just a journey of finding myself but also a journey of creating myself.


Upon ending this blog, I have just started one in my bucket list item, which is:
