++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ya.. im back.. and i realize that japan's not that bad actually.. pretty fun...yar yar.. anyways, im sick again.. or should i say i havent recovered from the flu i had before i left.. think its permanent.. ewwww... the followin recount of what i did in japan might not interest you AT ALL.. so, just leave if you find it too dry or borin , yep first day, i reached narita airport at about 2 and took their train to Kamata(where i was stayin).. the question: why not taxis? well.. taxis are EXPENSIVE! and its really far from the airport.. in singapore, when we get on the taxi, the meter starts with 2.40 yea? in japan, it starts with over 10 bucks.. hehe.. so, taxis are kinda crappy there.. yea... anyways, it took me 2 hours or so to get to kamata and man, kamata's a rawkin place..so crowded and shoppin centres are all around.. first day we just unpacked our stuff and loitered around kamata area.. shoppin and tryin out their local delicacies.. oh ya.. the hotel room is kinda small.. and the toilet's creepy too.. ya.. and i had my quickest baths ever in japan.. took bout 15 mins.. too scared.. laha second day, went ikebukuro and shopped around again.. man.. its sucha busy area.. and saw lotsa school kids.. their skirts are SOOO short..and they're allowed to dye their hair!! ahaha.. too bad for us.. after that went to disney sea.. last time i came to japan went to disneyland.. i was just at a tender age of 9 or 10, or maybe 11.. and i totalleh cant remember what happened.. that's the bad point bout bringin kids to holiday when they're too young.. they wont remember a thing when they grow up.. so, in short.. i think its crap.. back to where i was sayin.. disney was ok.. the usual disney stuff.. mickey & co. goin around.. rollercoasters.. thrill rides and some musical stuff.. the thrill rides are pretty ok.. but they didnt really have those kinda 360 degrees thrill rides or what.. not really excitin.. yea.. and stayed there till bout 10 plus and went back... reached hotel at 1 plus.. and there were still seas of people floodin kamata streets.. friday night, jivin all night.. waha third day, went to yokohama.. there was this chinatown there and ya..very chinna structures.. and for once, heard someone speakin chinese in japan..hehe..but the stuff there are unreasonably expensive .. ahhaa.. 1/6 of a durian costs around 10 bucks.. crap?! and gyoza(dumplings) costs 15 bucks for 10 .. and there's this banana which costed 15 bucks for 1! as in just one pathetic banana.. not like its made of gold or somethin.. do they print money or what?! and oh ya.. their macdonald's cost 10 bucks for an extra value meal.. and can you beilieve it.. they have NO chilli sauce and gotta pay for their mayonnaise.. $2+.. money suckers.. hahaa.. and their standard of livin is like high high and away that kind.. totalleh expensive.. yea... anyways, after that went to this whatever place that is and sat roller coaster again... it was called "spinnin coaster" .. saw it on tv when i was in singapore... and it really got me dizzy... and i tried their bian4dang1.. also costed around 10 bucks.. and its quite ok.. . i think i went to some other places.. but i cant really remember.. so forget it.. fourth day went to odaiba.. its a waterfront area.. kinda new i think.. there's this shoppin center which was like a replica of the streets in venice.. very kewl/.. and i saw this person drawin caricatures there.. in case you dont know, caricatures are like portraits, but in a more comic way.. and i've been goin crazy bout it for the past few days..i shall master the art of caricature! wahahahahaa// ok.. pardon me.. and there's this rainbow bridge(cai hong qiao!) ahhaa.. personal joke between me and yulan.. cos we named that brige in school caihongqiao.. and after recess we'll be like "let's go back class by the caihongqiao" and i cant believe there really is sucha lame name for a brige. waha... anways, the skyliner there is pretty much kewl.. it just crosses the brige to the other side and the view is totalleh WOW.. but too bad it was drizzlin ..and was misty as well... and they have this statue of liberty there.. its a mini version of it.. ahaha.. very adorable lookin.. think i went to some other places too.. but cant remember.. again... ya.. my memory's failin.. fifth day went to downtown.. went to shinjuku..its one of the main shoppin areas in tokyo.. and obviously went to shop and look around.. after that went to harajuku.. the streets are VERY long and sells clothes, records and food.. and i ate the best ramen in japan(as they claimed it was) and it was totalleh heaven.. go try it if you're goin to japan... its opposite harajuku train station.. called "jiu zhou ramen"... cant find it, just ask around.. its pretty popular... then after that, went to ginza.. ginza is huge.. and the way the shoppin centers are aligned are totally different from singapore.. they're very closely packed and pretty high.. and their LV shops are SO not prestigious.. there's like this ah-soh goin in as well..hahaa.. obviously i went in to take a look as well.. ahaha.. i think the stuff are cheaper than singapore tho.. yea..and continued walkin around till 8 plus.. and came back kamata to find stuff to eat.. ahhaa.. sixth day was the last day.. sad stuff.. and didnt go elsewhere. just stayed in kamata and did some HEAVY shoppin.. buy loads of snacks back here.. and used all the money left to buy sweets and souvenir back for friends.. how nice of me.. ya.. i know.. haha.. and ya.. that's the last day.. and hopped on the plane for a 6 hours ride and landed back on sunny island singapore the next day.. yup... this trip was fun overall.. and i 've come to a couple of conclusions: 1. japanese are mostly very good-lookin.. and i saw this guy who looks terribly like jay chou.. and also one who looked alot like yuqian..(yulan is jealous.. aha) 2. most japanese have good fashion taste 3. the stuff in japan are way expensive and comparin them to singapore, we're like some cheapo country... 4. the bananas there are mostly sweet..(ya.. i tired 2 .. hahaa..) altho expensive 5. yoshinoya is delicious.. altho i use to puke when i ate it.. as in, really puked.. 6. there are alot of cute guys in japan... i think i repeated this point.. but its really true.. and they're very nice...they'll smile at you if they caught you starin at them.. hahaa.. 7. most shoppin centers close at about 8... slack.. 8. jap is sucha act cute language.. i heard this very young and chirpy voice of a young girl in the shopin center, and when i turned around (to my horror), it was a lady in her mid 50s.. prolly already experiencin menopause .. its SOO act cute... ya.. so, japan is pretty ok .. but i still want to go to korea! argh... anwyays, i think ting is in taiwan by now.. lucky girl.. and i cant believe she and cally's crazy bout KEN.. as in NG KIAN YI KEN-ICHI.. that guy in our school... ahhaaa.. i promised her i'll help her publicise it( altho she didnt really agree).. lol.. and im still quite sad i missed student camp// and i heard last day of youth conference is totally kewl.. oh man,. i missed so much.. not forgetin harry potter! and no, i've not watched it yet.. what do you expect??! im still feelin restless and tired.. saturday's comin.. church church.. man, im excited.. hehehheeheheheehe.. i miss church! lol... currently, i feel like eatin yoshinoya and watchin harry potter.. i think it'll be heaven yea?!
