Japan trip

I am simply too lazy to blog abt it

10 days worth of stuff to write...

5 gb worth of videos and pictures

$1800 worth of spending (lodging, food, clothes, entrance fees etc)

It was a very nice trip. Going free and easy in a foreign land. Immense ourselves in their culture. Seeing things so different from what we have at home.

A conclusion on Japanese

1) They love to queue. In a good way. For instance, when you are queuing up to go into the train, you don't have to worry some aunties squeezing in from the sides. A typical scene in Singapore. Over there, it's very orderly.

2) They are very polite. Ah bengs and Ah lians included. The japanese ones. When they bumped into you or when they cut into your path suddenly, they will apologise.

3) They are very clean. They don't litter. Their streets are very clean, considering the fact that there's not much litter around. What impressed me was this auntie. She picked up a receipt which was accidentally left behind by another lady. I saw the whole event. They cleared their own utensils in every restaurants. Even the little young punks.

4) They take off their shoes when they go into the fitting room. So pls take off your shoes next time when u go into their fitting room.

5) Their sales staff in the shopping centre bow when they come out or when they are returning to their staff area. I was very fascinated by that scene.

And Japan is also where you can find:

- Tons of facial products...

- Tons of cute little home inventions

- A whole town of electronics stuff.... If you think sim lim is big, they have 10s of sim lims.

- Freaking huge number of trains.

- Very well dressed pimps. They all look like Nakata.... I am serious.

- Guys are better dressed than the gals.

You can also wear whatever you like. Totally off in colour combination and no one will care. Cos they all do so. Very bold in their colours. You can even see guys carry bags which are meant for gals. And they are red in colour.
Therefore, we exchanged bags for one whole day since i won't have the guts to carry a lady's bag in singapore.

And Japan is where you can get everything that is "Green Tea". Green tea coffee, Green Tea cakes, Green tea chocolate... Mocha~ And Crepe is very popular there as well. They wrap them with fruits and chocolate. I swear that if i have the capital, I willl open up a branch in singapore. Sure earn. It's really very good.

I shall consolidate my thoughts and see how can i better talk abt the trip in a better organised manner.

But at least, we are proud that we managed to do what we planned in our itinerary. We didn't cock up in our transport. And we managed to survive their weather. 9 deg celsius. Now I am still trying to get used to Singapore's weather. It's really very hot and humid over here.
