Visiting the Melbourne Kit Kat Chocolatory

12 / 24 / 16

I’m something of a fiend when it comes to special Kit Kat flavors, to the extend that there was no way I was going to miss the Kit Kat Chocolatory in Tokyo when I was there last in 2014. When I heard they opened another location in Melbourne, Australia, back in October, I knew I had to make the pilgrimage! Luckily, I had the perfect excuse when I was down for an academic conference earlier this month. Read on for a full report!

Visiting the Brisbane Cat Cuddle Café

Ever since I found out there was a cat café in Brisbane called Cat Cuddle Café, I’ve been dying to go. Numerous trips to Japan over the past 14 years have enabled me to experience my fair share of Japanese cat cafés, but an Australian cat café? Now that would be a first! But could it possibly compare to the amazing cat cafés of Japan?

A whole eight months later and I’ve still got tons of things I’d like to cover, and what better way to get back in the swing of things than with a roundup of photos from my visit to the Ghibli Museum?
