First day of Japan trip..
13 November 2007
ICHI !
You'd think I'd become a Popsicle stick. But NO NO! I was designed for winter! haha. My papa was like, ''don't be hero ah." I wasn't even cold ah.. Well ok maybe a little and when the wind blowed A LOT but other then that, Cornerstone trained me well! The air-con in church can be really cold! Right CornerSTONEians? =] Anyways, it was a 5 hour dunno how many minute flight. There were so many nice movies, and i watched only a third of one movie. I was super tired and i have no idea why. So i thought never mind I'll just take a nap then wake up to watch but then right i actually slept the whole way till like maybe 45 mins before landing. haha I took a pics on on the flight but i know i looked a little cheesy! So i ain't gonna put'em up. What do u expect at 1 in the morning..little miss sunshine? puh-lease..

WHA, Japan right, from the sky is filled with mountains. We landed at Kansai airport at. 8:30am Singapore time. And guess what Japan time is only one hour ahead! And here i was thinking it was like hours apart. Ok back to my arrival, man the airport is like a maze!

Japanese TOILET rolls!
Look at their drinks in the vending machine, complete with fake ICE to show you it's an iced drink! haha
Look Kansai Airport coffee!
Japanese MRT haha.. it's called JR..Japanese Railway? i dunno haha..
So kawaii right the orange juice can!




We took the train from he airport to Osaka. There's Universal Studios in Osaka! I didn't know haha.sua-ku. Man i don't know why i was so sleepy, my eyes couldn't even open! So yah, slept all the way. When we reached, we went to get a cab, and as we were nearing the cab, the door swung open! I was shocked haha, then my father said all the cabs here are like that. Sweet! Anyways, my father had a meeting so I had to follow. It was an interesting time, the people looked at me as though I was some rare species or something. Wha the food they ate looked yummy and the way they ate together was so cute, especially the men, old men. They gave me Japanese tea.. ooouuuu i love Japanese tea=]

Then it was my turn to have lunch. yay haha. I ate in a real Jap restaurant! So fun!

My father looks constipated doesn't he! Muahahaha.
I really wanted to take pictures of the food but I didn't know whether it was rude if I did. So i played safe and didn't. But my detailed explanation may help you picture it. I shall tell you about one thing, 'cause you can't get this in Singapore. Ok I got my Miso soup and I was happy 'cause I thought, 'good another edible dish!' But I guess i spoke all too soon=[ The seaweed which was in it looked like mutated alien babies ok! Like oh my gosh! And I was just placing it on my plate for further inspection on what exactly it was, my father's business friend looked at what i was doing and and started telling me about it, and i was like, 'shoot! he's looking at me, darn it, now I've got to eat it.' I braced myself and put it into my mouth just as he was telling me it was a kind of seaweed. Then i was like phewf! It's just seaweed. But oh no! It certainly did NOT taste like seaweed! EEEWWWW yikes! I cannot describe the taste. And that wasn't just it, there was this jelly like slimy substance surrounding it ok. Bleehhh.. Just thinking of it makes me wanna puke. After i swallowed it, which was actually 2 seconds after i bit it. I used my chopsticks to examine the seaweed, this time in the soup. I was like, ''Man! what in the world did i just let down my throat!''
Anyways after lunch we cabbed back to the JR [Jap MRT] And off we were to Tokyo! WEEE=] And did you know they practically clean the train whenever it arrives at the Kansai JR.


Japenese country houses, so nice!
When we boarded the train bound to Tokyo, I bluetoothed all the pics I had taken in case there was no more space and sent songs to my phone. Yup then ooh no, sleepy again. By George! I slept all the way to Tokyo! 2hours. When we reached there it was so dark I got a shock, then my father told me it was only 5 30pm and I was like, 'what!' It looked more like 7 30 to me.
So this is how Tokyo looked at 6pm.

After we checked in we took a cab to some shopping centre. Man it was fantabulous! Oh and the prices where excruciating! I wanted to get this really neat pair of sunglasses and they costed a whopping ~S$400! And the greyish skinnies i wanted costed ~$300.
This was where the skinnes were from.
New YorkRunway.

Mamamia! High-end shopping centre. Turned out to be a no no. The stuff there was amazing though. Look at these hats for instance.


This was my personal fav.

Well so since we couldn't find anything, we decided to go eat. And i begged to go eat at those cheap diners 'cause I think expensive doesn't always mean yum. Right Agus? haha. His sentiments exactly. Anyways, look Spa Boy [Jonathan Leow] has a food chain in Japan!

And he didn't even tell us. Tsk Tsk. But i didn't eat there.

I ate at a nicer place! But i have no idea what's the name. Look at the food. SO YUMMALICIOUS!

Oh and you better believe it tastes better than it looks! Cheap and GOOD! It's a bowl of udon in Jap curry. By the way they pronounce it as ' curray ' so cute haah. Oh and in the plate there's the Karoke, fried potato strips with onions and prawns, triangle sushi and sweet bean curd. And yay to the free flow of Japanese tea=] It's so cool ok, you walk up to the counter, get your tray, tell them what size bowl you want and have either curry or soup, get a plate, choose your side dishes, pay up, go to a counter parallel to the one before, put as much spring onions as you want, mayo, garlic and pepper. Then sit down and ENJOY!

After that we walked back to the hotel and I sat down to use the FREE Internet. Smart me brought my MAC along. Oh and the tv is superly cool it's like a tv and com 2-in-1!


Oh and look at the ice-cream! so cute right=]


Yup so I guess that's all for today=]


-Whao the people here are super friendly, polite and patient! BeaUtiful and clean country and oh by the way.. Eunice! yes! Japanese men are hot! Even the old one's haha Xp [i think when Merri reads this she'll be like, ''there she goes again with the old hot men.'' oh well..and i dunno if i'm homesick or what, 'cause i dreamt of Ah Lee's mother. Boy, I must be really homesick.. But i don't think it'll last, it's too fun here=]
