Japan - March

Thanks to the 2007 hard work, we finally made it to Japan!

It was truly an incentive trip, as i know i won't be able /not willing to spend this sum of money to travel to Japan in next 5 years. Since it's a paid trip (though we paid extra for extension stay) we really made full fun of it.

Most of the money spent was on food. Damn expensive sashimi boat & Kobe beef - being con by the tour guide! Never ever belief what tour guide says anymore. It's not the the food didn't taste good, but it was just too expensive! With that money, I can have that kind of sashimi & kobe beef in Malaysia too...

Very interesting part is to explore the convenient stores like our 7-11. They sell everything, more than you can imagine! As well as the pharmacy/ drug store. You can find skincare & cosmetic like Shisiedo, Kose, Kanebo at cheap price... Other than that, clothes and shoes are not cheaper, not worth the time to shop, unless you are looking for local Japanese fun fashion.
Of course, the main shopping target would be 'Burberry Blue Label' exclusively in Tokyo.

Thanks to the healthy & delicious Japanese food, as well as heavy walking non stop, I lost 2 kg from this trip!

seeing Mount Fuji at Kawaguchi lake

happy touching Mount Fuji

Fresh but expensive sashimi boat (almost Rm500 for a boat for 4 person)

Parade at Asakusa temple - the geisha are a little too 'old'...

Very busy Harajuku on Saturday... many funny people in funny dresses

they even sell Starbucks in convenient store!

Guess what's this? It's 'instant' noodle in can! It's hot on shelves in convenient store, just open and eat like a coca cola - variety soup!

as well as hot corn soup in bottle, just drink it like mineral water! Good in cold weather.
