Cruise with my best buddies...

Yippe not long after the Japan trip, I went cruising..heez,wow i thk i really spend alot of money over the months lor..but it was a wonderful trip..i get to nua and nua and nua, do nothg but juz eat and slack for two days..

And im back!

Hey ppl, im back from Japan! It was a fruitful trip (of coz,im not referring to the thgs i bought but the meetings we hav..haa!) Indeed, I had enjoyed myself though it was a working trip but we hv alot of fun together. Initially, I thought going with the bosses will be erm..haa but it turned out absolutely fantastic!

24/11: On the first day we arrived at abt 11am but check in time is at 2pm so we hav ample of time. No meetings was scheduled as it was Japan's holiday (Thanksgiving & Labour day). We decided to hv a hearty lunch to somewhere which is Ueno. The place is crowded with people, they hav a long street selling all kind of stuff, we hv a walk thru the streets after lunch and head to Harajuku which is located in Shibuya. The place is full of young people updated with the latest trends. It was then raining heavily so we did not stayed there for long and return to Ikebukuro where our hotel is situated. We have a rest after check-in and prepared for dinner. I slept pretty well after a drink at the lobby lounge..guess im really tired.

25/11: The start of the meetings..woah we woke up really early!Tokyo is one hr ahead of s'pore...and for every meetings we hv to be there at least 15 mins early as Japanese are very particular abt punctality. We arranged to hv two meetings a day so that it is not too rush and not that tired also..

After the meetings, we hv dinner and as it was still early so we decide to walk around nearby dept stores..heez was really glad that the rain wasnt too heavy as we decide to go shinjuku..that place is the so called 'red light district'..haa! looking around..i realized besides the pimps, there also people holding broom waiting for 'business', here you will noticed that the ladies are not outside to compete for business but are the pimps. After all the walking, we decide to settle down for yakitori and sakae..heez

ikebukuro - shopping area

resturant - yakitori & sakae

me at Shinjuku

26/11: And its another day again packed with two meetings..in toyko,the trains are super duper packed with ppl especially early in the morning..there are staff allocated at each cabin door to push passengers in order for the train door to close! luckily im taking the train opposite..but it was really terrifying watching the people squeezing like 'bread & jam'. According to my colleague, she say even if a female is being molest,she wld not be able to shout out loud or complain coz the train is too crowded..

After the meetings,it was another tired day..we decide to go Akihabara where they sell the most advanced electric products, computer products and many comic related stuff etc i bought alot toy toy for colleagues & friends as sounveir..haa! ooh and my most satisfied item is the lip stick like thumb drive..super pretty lor! Then we went Ginza to look for Burberry which my colleague needed to buy to 'report' back to his wife..haa! All big and posh dept stores are located there selling all branded stuff..and then we head back to hotel..i was in a rush to buy a pair of shoes coz the boots are hurting me! thats explain the 'golden shoes' (refer pic below) =p

Finally, i get to eat sushi for dinner! wow the sushi is so delicious and cheap. Nothing is really cheap in Japan but the sushi is considered rather cheap as the item we ate in s'pore is usually the expensive range but theirs are at the average price.

27/11: Today is a long day coz there are alot of travelling..but frankly speaking i enjoyed today the most..being able to get close to natural surroundings made me feels good! On the way to the place, I manage to ate an ice-cream..WOW i wanted to shout out loud 'COOL!', eating cold ice-cream in cold weather! Their ice-cream is fantastic lor,nv ate such delicious ice-cream in my entire life leh...i know i am being too exagerating..kekez! Ooh forgot to mentioned this place is at Oyama =p

I really love this place alot..its fantastic! I think most likely is becoz I have never really been to such rural area and the surrounding surprised me.. =) Nothg much for the day coz it was already quite late after we went back.

28/11: We went back today after a meeting..nothg much as it was quite rush and there are no time for us to go anywhere so after a quick lunch we head to airport and do a last minute shopping there =)

I am hoping to go back to Japan within the next 3 years and of coz to visit Disneyland!
