NIPPON JA-PAN (exchange rate: 1ooyen = S$1.65)

Things I miss abt J:

1. Pple actually queue up to board trains, alight from trains &when they take the escalator. Another thing they do when they take the escalator, they will automatically stand on the left if they're not walking unlike some s'poreans (me) that hog both sides &preventing those in a rush (me) to use the right side.


2. Their amusing signboards

'Caution, drop!'

What's for dinner?



3. The cute bottles in vending machines



4. The damn good food

Ginormous baos !


Flavor of donut - Everything



(A not so nice) Bento!
Not to mention their ramen, rice balls or triangles, gyoza, sushi, FRESH sashimi &roe that's 5x bigger than those in sakae sushi or sakura or ichiban or any sushi outlets in s'pore.


5. The awesome fruits but damn eff-ing expensive

Fuji Apples that are bigger than my fist. (hahaha plucked from mt fuji!)

These are FSTs lol

6. The shiok weather
to the extent that Carrie farted to see if there was smoke coming out from her ass lol

Pardon the unglamorous pose; I was trying to capture smoke.


Look at the mist behind.

Things I do not miss of J:

1. The crazy population

A small portion of cars at Disneyland on a weekday.

(Shibuya)

Now you see them,

now you don't.


2. The complicated tracks

They not only have green, red, purple &circle line.

3. The pple there can't speak other languages than jap for nuts.
So I had to learn how to speak their language using this 'Instant Japanese' book my uncle
brought &I mastered this line, & boy, am I proud of it!
Oh-tay-ah-rai wah doe koe dess kah? Guess what !

4. The normal trains a.k.a mrts
Esp so during peak hours. They're so packed that one can hardly breathe + the pple will just lean on you like free so it's like I have to support his whole weight + it was damn stuffy &warm in the train.


Awesome Things done in J:

1. Skiing &snowboarding +lots of falling down in Yusawa
What does this remind you of?




2. Open air hot springs semi-naked

3. Eat soft vinegar ice-cream, found tofu ice-cream &some other weird flavors but did not find my squid ink ice-cream ):

4. Saw a rather charming jap (receptionist of service apartment) :D:D:D

5. Go to a reaaaaaaaaal disneyland!










Grace !!!


This was taken at the tower of terror. We were all conned into taking the ride. It was so hilarious cos we all thought that it was a huanted mansion where ghouls will jump out to scare us but it ended up being a free fall ride. It was so damn unexpected ! Cos we were all seated in this metal cage like thing then it would rise to different levels where the doors would open to tell us the story of the tower &all of a sudden we were at the top level, looking at the scenery. I was like 'Oh shit, confirm freeeee ...' &down we went. Everyone was hysterical it was so damn funny.

We also visited this marketplace where there was a shrine &the food from the roadside stalls there were shiok + awesome !



The bigger &better version of tako pachi.

At the countryside, we took the 5 modes of transport in J - choo-choo train, cable car, gondola,
ferry &bus .________.


Cable car.

Gondola.


Scenery outside the gondola itself.

Carmen says this reminds her of ghost whisperer, 'Can you see the light...'


Byproduct of hot springs - sulphur.

Onboard the pirate-themed ferry.


In places of cold weather, the best way to keep warm is ... taking JUMPSHOTS!


bcos first you have to test the shutter's speed, then test the camera man's rxn so by the time all the tests are done, you would have jumped a million times.


&all the random shots,




Mom told us to apply more moisturizer ...


Photos of the most gorgeous boy ever, Dan Shane (:






For Colin Chou's viewing purposes (you can skip past the rest &just come right here lah tsk)


PS Wtheck I nvr want toblog like this again. My fingers are cramping, my eyelids are shutting, my back's aching. This post took me abt 5 effing hours &I'm finally freaking done ergh !
