i'm back! After being away for 6 solid days in the land of the rising sun, i feel much better and recharged.These 6 days have been good, why? read on....- got to see mount fuji clearly (went japan before but that was during winter and the view wasn't very clear)
- did a lot of shopping, wow crazy sales over there (bought shoes, tees, pants, jeans, coat, contemplating to get my porter bag)
- experienced ryoken (in case you don't know what that is, this is the traditional japanese lifestyle where u get to sleep on tatami mats) and most importantly experience onsen(hot spring bath)
- loved the ramen and the sashimi
- loved the dons(lunch boxes)
- and of course the attitude showed by the people there. they were so courteous and we should really look at ourselves. the service staff over there are always so cheery, polite and helpful. it doesn't matter if you are just window shopping, they will always service you with a smile. this attitude, we must learn.
- loved mickey. what is a trip to japan without visiting disneyland. since i went disneyland 2 years ago, decided to go disneysea this time round. well disneysea was not as good as disneyland but the characters were so differently dressed. imaging 'pirate' mickey. haha and not forgetting the finale which was the fireworks. one word to describe it-beautiful
now that is all the past, i must work hard now and push for the ultimate prize. a place in the express stream for every 6cian. Gambate everyone :)
