In love with Japan..

Hiya y'all,

I forgot to tell you that i was in Japan from 26th Dec. till 4th Jan. 2011 hehe...
The journey that i will never forget forever! If you have the money and time to do so, i suggest to visit Japan especially backpackers out there. I went to Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka...Surprise surprise, i fell in love with that country.One of the country that i will definitely come again in the future...

It requires me more time to tell you more about the exciting journey of Nihon. But in this entry i let you know the brief of it.

26th Dec- because of the delayed flight, we arrived quite late at Narita Airport around 9pm local time (8 pm Malaysia). Impossible for us to catch the last shinkansen (bullet train) to Kyoto as the original plan. So, we spend the night at Narita under the airport police...hehe no worries of bad people...but its freezing burrr!

27th Dec- Woke up early as the staff there told us, the early shinkansen to Kyoto depart at 6 am. But guess what, the early train to Tokyo Station is at 7pm haha... very funneh!...It took about 1 hour or so (lupe) to reach Tokyo Station and cost you i think about 900-1200 yen huhu...you can take bus from there but with big luggage i prefer the train/subway. jeng jeng at Tokyo station for the first timer well it might makes you want to scream at the top of your lung, but save yourself from madness (although a few "harsh words" expressing yourself will be fine as for me, lack of sleep tired n confused add up the culture shock situation hehe). Look for the Guard or Police in charge there if the person at the counter failed to help/communicate with you. But remember the ticket you bought earlier is very important. DO NOT LOSE IT! You need it to move to the next location as for me shinkansen to Kyoto. Go to JR line counter and buy unreserved ticket hehe..cheap! (erk nope) 12500 yen okies (if am not mistaken)!ask for the direction.They will guide you.Move fast and watch out for the time stated! 2h 30minutes KYOTO! No one to pick you up search for Tourist Guide Volunteer, one and only provided only in Japan...you can search the internet for the contact number.All over Japan for free hehehe....Do not fret if you don't have any map, they give you for free also available at the airport. save the dimes for something else eh!

Ask them how to use the bus and subways and etc. The uncle that helps us in Kyoto super friendly and kind...he can speak simple english too hehehe...

28th Dec- went to various shrine there namely kinkakuji mae,ninanji mae,zen garden etc...all walking, if you want to use bus you can buy 1 day pass inside the bus... dont worry the driver know what you mean hahaha... one day passe hahaha... i already memorize it how to speak in nihon go hahahaha....

guy i forgot which day i went to Sanjo,Osaka etc...i will tell you later after i remember...

Sanjo is the place where you can shop. There is one small shop selling foods to katana.The Aunty so friendly,give you discount and if you buy a lot she give you small gifts hehe...aiya aunty i forgot to ask your shop name lar hehe...

Osaka- yodobashi (the biggest electronic shop) whoa besh besh! the biggest bookstore also there...

2nd Jan- 11.55pm: bus to Tokyo.Arrived at 6.30 am Tokyo Station.

3rd Jan- train to Maihama station for DISNEYLAND....one day ticket price 5800 yen!5600yen? look at Disneyland website eh hehe...last train to Narita : Narita express erk lupe...hehe
