Japan ~ Day 1, 11 May

Wednesday, May 27, 2009

Wow! There are too many photos! I will have to update day by day! Haha!

Just now during lunchtime, Dan and I were refreshing... on how we started our journey that night. I stayed over at Dan's place so four can share a cab to the airport in the middle of the night. I couldn't sleep, had been very excited and kept talking to Dan. Haha!

We reached airport around 4 plus.

Happily showing our passports!

This Cindi ah..... Can't wait to sleep..... ZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzZZZZZZZZz

After 7 hours of flight, we finally reached Narita Airport - Japan safely. Haha! We took JR Line train for another 1 hr plus before we reached our hostel - Khao San Ninja which is located at Asakusabashi (Hmm... I miss the rap! Haha!).

Our first poloraid photos on the train. Niceeeee..........
I will never forget the many stairs we climbed in Japan. Now I know why Japanese are slim and healthy. Singaporeans are quite pampered.

I enjoyed staying at the hostel. Most of the staff can speak good English and friendly. Most importantly, the hostel is clean. Bread toast and jams are provided free for breakfast. There is a common room where you can cook, play games and watch tv. One thing is you are not allowed to make too much noise. Hee!

After we moved our luggages to our room, we went out immediately before the shops in Ueno closed. Shops in Japan close early, around 8 plus to 9.

Ichiran Ramen ~ Dan's favourite!
I'm not a very "ramen" person... I prefer dry noodles. Haha! But this ramen is must-try! I'm serious. The soup base is tasty. How much? I think is 890 yen including the yummy egg. Order using this vending machine, collect the tickets, get a seat, fill up a form stating your requirements and submit form & ticket to the staff.

Now we got strength to walk and shop! Haha! I think Ueno is famous for seaweed and dried goods. But most of the shops are closing already.

We went back to hotel at around 8 plus and we were hungry again! Or I think we just don't want to sleep so early. Haha, went out in pyjamas and jackets to the 24hr convenience store. By the time, the streets are very quiet. Along the way, we saw construction workers... laughing at us.

Juli: Yummm Yummmm
Cin & Lin: *saliva dripping*

See! They have to beg for food on the streets. COS I FINISHED EVERYTHING UP! Haha!
Day 1 was a short day... We only got less than half a day. My most enjoyable days are Day 2 and 3 @ Hakone. Just stay tune for more! Cya!
