Introduction

Have you heard of the Critically Acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV? With an expanded free trial which you can play through the entirety of A Realm Reborn and the award-winning Stormblood expansion up to level 70 for free with no restrictions on playtime! 集え！光の戦士よ！

So yeah… Tokyo Dome. Two whole days (and nights!) of Final Fantasy XIV chaos in the best way possible. After being stuck at home for years thanks to the pandemic, Fan Fest finally came back - and it didn’t just come back, it went full limit break!

There was so much going on. Over 30 hours of panels, shows, and concerts. Keiko’s piano set? Absolutely gorgeous. THE PRIMALS? Let’s just say my ears are still recovering lmao, and I’m not even mad about it.

Apparently over 70k people showed up from all over the world, which is wild. I was in the middle of it all, camera glued to my face, trying to catch every little bit of the magic. These photos are my way of bottling up those two insane days - 7 and 8 January 2024 - so we can jump back in whenever we want.

Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew

Introduction

Tucked away in Richmond lies the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. It is a mere stone’s throw from central London via both underground and railway, and I do pop in often for photography or just to enjoy the afternoon.

The lush 300-acre haven blooming with exotic flora and rich history. Founded in 1759, Kew Gardens isn’t just a pretty face; it’s a crown jewel of the UNESCO World Heritage List, a renowned botanical research institution, and a treasure trove of over 27,000 living plant species!

Botanical Wonderland: Kew Gardens boasts awe-inspiring glasshouses like the majestic Palm House, showcasing tropical rainforests underfoot, and the Temperate House, housing ancient cycads and delicate ferns. Wander through vibrant rose gardens, serene bamboo groves, and towering trees lining scenic pathways.

Historical Enchantment: Step back in time amidst Kew’s architectural gems. Explore the elegant Kew Palace, designed for Queen Charlotte, or lose yourself in the whimsical Victorian treetop walkway, offering bird’s-eye views of the verdant expanse.

Knowledge & Conservation: Kew Gardens isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s a vital center for plant research and conservation. Its vital Seed Bank safeguards the future of over 40,000 plant species, while dedicated scientists unlock the secrets of the plant kingdom, contributing to global food security and environmental sustainability.

… as is what they said on their website, and, yes, even without those big titles it is still a place great in many ways, and just by going around it you see everyone enjoy their day in the way they feel most confortable.

So, whether you’re a nature enthusiast, a history buff, or simply seeking a tranquil escape, Kew Gardens promises an unforgettable experience. With its beguiling sights, intoxicating aromas, and captivating tales, this verdant sanctuary will leave you awestruck and yearning for your next visit.

Bonus fact: Keep an eye out for Kew’s seasonal events, from the dazzling Christmas illuminations to the vibrant orchid displays!

I hope this brief introduction has piqued your interest in Kew Gardens. Come explore its captivating beauty and discover the world of wonders within its verdant embrace!

ABOUT ME

Well, greetings, my friend

Hi, Elypha here.

This is my cyber gallery and log, and I’m glad you find my little place here.

I’m Chinese, located in the UK and currently doing a PhD in Japan. I use they/he.

It would be great if the content I present worth the time you spent. Remember the meaning of internet and this is always important.

I earnestly hope that my current effort adds a little something to this vision, and I’m more than excited to learn alongside you, my friend.

Be thou blessed, Bertram, and succeed thy father

In manners as in shape. Thy blood and virtue

Contend for empire in thee, and thy goodness

Share with thy birthright. Love all, trust a few,

Do wrong to none. Be able for thine enemy

Rather in power than use, and keep thy friend

Under thy own life’s key. Be checked for silence,

But never taxed for speech. What heaven more will,

That thee may furnish and my prayers pluck down,

Fall on thy head.

― William Shakespeare, All's Well That Ends Well, ACT I, SCENE I. Rousillon. The COUNT's palace., Line 63.
