i'm still swooning over my japan trip

i just came back from math lecture (i slept through half the lecture), nearly crashed into two innocent people, before making my way safely back into my room. after which i realised that my closet door has broken. thankfully, james dropped by and performed a miracle! haha he fixed my closet door in two minutes! hurray for him! after that, i switched on my Mac and waited patiently for ms choy siew woon to log in to Skype. while waiting, i browsed through my old pictures and i found the album i took during my trip to japan! yes yumin, including the photos i stole from you! haha i know this is a very very outdated entry, considering the fact that i went to japan in june! but nonetheless, it's a trip worth talking about! :)

Tokyo! we arrived in Roppongi, where lots of bars are located, mainly to attract the ang mohs. our room was SO nice! even though the front door was this heavy metal prison looking door, the interior was huge!

here's yuling posing with her tiny suitcase! this yuling is so "mafan". yumin and i had to do most of the dragging (her suitcase) while she skipped merrily in front of us. argh. ANYWAY...the first day was spent in DISNEYLAND. tokyo disneyland is extremely clean!! i seriously think you could sleep on the floor because there isn't any trash on it at all. the jap women are amazing. i knew i was going to do a lot of walking so i decided to sacrifice fashion for comfort, chose to wear my sneakers. i thought my footwear was going to blend in....little did i know ALL THE JAP WOMEN were walking around in stilettos. i'm not exaggerating here. they are amazing. everywhere they go, they will be strutting in their stilettos. i think that accounts for their slim figure :)





ok here are some goofy pictures we took at disneyland :) we visited minnie mouse's house (where i attempted to push my cousin nicky down the well :P) and took a lovely picture of mickey mouse's house. yes these disney characters have good furnishings in ther home. haha the final picture is very random. nicholas and yuling goofing out, i think they were just super high that day because they were in DISNEYLAND! who wouldn't be high?

the next day we went to mount fuji! took a really long bus ride up the mountain. we were SO bored we started photo-whoring again...haha yuling was sleeping like a pig while we took this picture!

the scenery was breathtaking! unfotch, i didn't take any picture then. haha i'm lazy.

the gastronomical part of the trip is coming! we took the Shinkansen to Kyoto! this bullet train travels at 350km/h! while we were waiting for our train, another one zoomed past us. being singaporean tourists, we screamed and jumped and attempted to take photos of this AMAZING sight. haha by the time i whisked out my camera, the train was gone. oh well. anyway kyoto was SO PRETTY!!! we stayed in this traditional japanese inn where we ate traditional japanese breakfast and dinner!! there was nice hot tub in our room. we even dressed in traditional robes to really immerse ourselves in their culture.everything was so "memoirs of a geisha" and the food was BAGUS!!!!! i shall entice you all with these well-taken pictures by yumin!









after we finished our trip around the "old" part of japan, it was time to head back to tokyo! we went to shinjuku (where i spent a bomb!!), harajuku and ginza. saw the huge Prada building. i was so estatic when i saw this building, it was like a shrine built in the honour of Prada! haha but i didn't dare walk inside the shop, so settled for a nice picture OUTSIDE the buildling.






well that wraps up my long outdated entry :) i really love this japan trip! i shall drag more friends to go with me next time! ok have to dash to my friend's housewarming party! haha her neighbours are going to bring their own gin, martini and tequilla.
