Japan

I'm bored. So I've decided to describe the trip. Added some pics only. Lol.

20th May
We reached the airport in the early evening and after checking in, we had dinner at the fabulous restaurant (in the hotel) which had the view of Shinjuku. Food was fanatstic, chawanmushi totally juicy and melts in your mouth. Marble beef that melts too (Drools). Fresh tuna toro (don't know if that's how you spell it though it's how u pronounce it). Everything was fantastic. Seriously best jap food ever. Lol.





21st May
Nagoya World Expo. Seriously, all we ever did was walk buy souveniers and eatery. We went into the Singapore Pavillion and guess what? Everyone there are Singaporeans. Guess what again? Singapore Pavillion actually shows you... Made in Singapore RAIN... -.- We were upstairs having our lunch, hokkien mee, chicken rice and laksa which tasted pretty good for a food made in Japan. Then we heard thunder and suddenly, rain.. HEAVY rain.. Really like how Singapore is like when it's raining. (My friendster has this arrogant looking pic of me and xuan, that's where we took it) We were laughing and saying "LOH HOH LIAO, SIEW SA KOR"

I say they should have people upstairs pretending to collect their laundry hung outside. It'll look more real, more singapore. Haha.

That's where we saw the pretty boy. Nagoya station. Ate one of the tastiest Zaru Soba.


Bullet train.



22nd May
SHOPPINGGGG!!~ Woo!! First stop, Harajuku.. Since it was a Sunday, many people on the streets and cosplay everywhere. Me and sis went to shop alone, the guys went their way, mum, dad and Lihui jie went to the shrine. Yes, cosplay even outside the holy shrine.

Bought many things (too many to describe) and one thing about Japan is everywhere we go, we buy umbrellas. Haha.

Second stop, Shibuya..
Horrible man. I bought 2 baby phat items. Item number one: belt. Item number two: bracelet. The prices are so steep, sis and i didn't dare to buy anything at first. Until she tried on a top. While she was in the fitting room i roamed around the shop with Lihui jie and we saw all that baby phat shit. A little encouragement and KA CHING! Made the sales girl happy, me happy, sis happy and we, a little broke.

Went up another level saw accessories, bought a necklace. Sis bought many earrings. Claimed tax and quickly met up with the rest to rush for some tempura dinner.

23May
M I C K E Y M O U S E ! Heh!

Don't laugh at me for buying that minnie hairband ok. It's so useful at home now. People there are wearing that everywhere they go and it's so tempting to want to do so too! i hesistated till almost the end of the trip and couldn't resist the temptation. Went into the shops alone and bought whatever I thought was cute. Haha. Love Disneyland. Sooo much fun!!





24May
Akihabara. I bought a eyelash curler (it's not something you can find in Sg) and an electric toothbrush. Oh, Mp3 player I think tt's about it. Then hmm.. Ginza..

Mummy's paradise. She shopped while we decided to head back to Harajuku ourselves to do some more shopping. But! I brought them into GAP. I picked up a top and belt and tried it in the fitting room. When I came out to ask them for opinion...... No one's around! All in fitting room also.. -___-"

Purchased a tantamount amount of shopping goodies which costs us, 30k yen. That's only me and Moses ok. Lol.

Dinner was at this super nice BBQ thingy like Seoul Garden. Super YUMMY! The beef, crab and other seafood. Perfectoooo.. We ate beef tongue too. Damn nice man. Haha.







25May
Hokkaido here we come!! Met with our tour guide Hino and ate at the airport. Ramen. SO TASTY!

Went to some Ainu place. Saw a very cute bear. Lol! I think it was feeling sick. It paced front and back and kept repeating that action and his cage was filled with vomit. Ok, should have sympatised but it was v cute mah. Lol.

Went to our hot spring resort. All of us changed into our lil outfit and I forgot what it's called lah. Haha. We wore the same thing and went down for dinner. Suddenly, I feel like i'm wearing a school uniform eating at a school canteen. But of cuz, food was good.. Better than canteen food. Haha.

After dinner went to their arcade, I kiap-ed my own Eeyore!! With three tries though. -.- But it's damn CUTE! (Btw, if you guys know me well enough, i never liked soft toys.) Now come to think of it, i have some sony pink bear (Moses kiap-ed it for me) A stitch soft toy (Godfrey kor swiped his card for me) Hahahaa. I bought the smaller version lah. His is big stitch.

At the arcade I was suffocating with the clothes we were wearing and the heat there. Gosh. So I told Moses I need to go back up and have a bathe so later can go Hot Spring mah. Lol.

Hot spring was one helluva an experience. Not that I haven't been to one, but I haven't been to one where I was supposed to be completely naked and see my sis or mum the same way too. Hahahaha. Obviously guys one level, ladies another lah! You see naked women struting around. Haha. Ok, not exactly. Most of the women there are definitely above 40, obasans everywhere. They were staring at me and sis. Mum didn't go with us.




Just look at our table. Gluttons!

26May
Woke up, sat cable car up to some Bear park where the bears would wave at you to get your attention so that you'll feed them. They also do a few cute stunts to make you notice them. We saw ducks racing too.

Went to Edo Wonderland. I like that place! It's somewhat like Asian Village but it's the jap culture of cuz. And it's full of surprises! We saw a geisha show and a Ninja show. Wah seh! The Ninjas are so good at what they do. They really train themselves and it was like a Jackie Chan movie. Lol. Just that they are Ninjas. Super cool! We also entered a Ninja maze and it's so real loh. Haha. The floor is sooo slanted that I feel the room is moving, but it's not lah. Haa. Lots of cute things there and I went to this Cat temple to pray and after you pray you have to put your hands at your ear and meow. Lol! It's the zao cai mao thingy. Reminds me of Aaron. Kns. Lol.

Went Cape Chikyu to see nice nice scenery. Very nicee.. Then went to Hell valley. The volcano spot.

Went back to hotel and walked the streets to see this statue turn angry. Haha. It has a certain timing when it turns to an angry face and blabber in Jap. That's also where we saw the pretty Singaporean with her other half.

Hot Spring again, this time mum saw us. Mum was in the waters while we were bathing there.
Embarrassing hor? Haha.









27May
Left Noboribetsu for Sapporo. Went sight seeing again, those active volcanos and all. Checked in Hotel (I SO LIKE THAT HOTEL CONCEPT!) Haha. Went Diamaru Shopping. Mum and I went to shop, Dad and Moses went to the mens department and they didn't buy anything. Btw, Men's Department only one level. Lol. Everything there, above 400 bucks. -.-

I bought a Polo Ralph top, Mummy too. But of cuz she bought more than that lah. Shopping Queen leh she.



28May
I was sick and was dreaded the outings. Was so hoping I could be back in SG. Sobs. Cuz no health food left and I was the last to get sick. Sobs. But still i tried to enjoy myself.

Chocolate Factory!!
We visited the place, very interesting and fun. Plus high tech of cuz. Lol. Mummy didn't bother to see much of the place, she went straight to the shop. Spent about 500 - 600 on chocolates. -.- But cannot deny it's damn nice loh! She bought them as gifts for her friends.

Went Otaru. Supposed to make my own Musical Box, but didn't. Bought a musical photo frame instead. Went into this shop where they sold masks. The kind you see in Romeo and Juilet? The latest version of it lah. Not the cheena one. Lol. In dances, parties last time? IT'S SO NICE! I wish SG had such parties!! I would really love to wear such dresses and buy those masks. The masks are so PRETTY!!! We had fun trying them out. So nice!!

Shopping again.. This time too sick to shop, watch my mum shop. Lol.

Had a last dinner at Japan with Hino. Oishi neh! Lol.

29May
Went to some Fish market while I slept in the bus. Don't feel well and didn't sleep well with the stupid fever I had. So I decided to stay in the bus.

Went to Chitose Airport ate seperately. (Mummy, Moses and Me. The rest ate Zaru Soba.. AGAIN)

Went to Narita Airport ate again before our flight. I ate Ramen. SO NICE!! The 4 crazy pple ate Zaru Soba again. Can't stand them. Moses don't know what to eat so he joined them and later regreted his decision. Hahaha. See, my ramen best!

Back in Singapore and I can't stand the people already. People at the airport made me miss Japanese culture, the politeness and manners.

Long post? I cut short already. Heh. No pics for the end because they have not uploaded them in my comp. Haha.
