A short and sweet escape to Japan!

It's been a long time since I update my blog with pictures and some daily updates on what I've done.
So, here's some pictures that I would like to share with you, my dear friends :)

This time, I've finally utilize a bit more of my digital camera and manage to capture some moments for me to reminisce the beautiful and full of culture, Japan!

During the previous mid-term break, I've been to Osaka and Tokyo for 5 days 4 nights. Not forgetting spending two nights on travelling to and fro, we only left 3 days to explore Osaka and Tokyo. I swear, I really really love Japan, every single bits of it. The strong culture that they still preserved until today has made this country so unique and wonderful in its way. Immersing myself into the Japanese way, making me feel so reluctant to get back to the reality back here.

From the town planning, people, food, weather, architecture, transport, I would say I have no complaint on any of it as a tourist there. People are friendly and they had always try their best to assist tourists in all kinds of way. I am so impressed for the way they treat customers with full of respects and sincerity.

Stop the talking now and I'll let the pictures to do its part! :D

The-must-selfie while boarding, the hair and skin still look good on the first day! :D

This trip wouldn't be a dream come true without my dear parents' supports 

After so many years, I still have some skills to use the digital camera for a wefie, not so bad right? 

I love my G-Shock! Nice not? 

My first In-flight meal flying with Air Asia X, the very nice Nasi Lemak! 

A one night stay in Bonsai Guest House, Osaka! I am satisfied with the facilities provided by this Guesthouse. 

The pretty cousin who is still available, interested? :D

The connecting escalator, we dare not look down while taking it.

We got to witness the wedding ceremony at Meiji Shrine at Tokyo! Guess it is common to held wedding ceremony in Japanese Temple.

The bride and groom! There were 3 couples on the day we visit the shrine. 

the newly wed and their big family photo session.


Ichiran Ramen, I would say it is the best Ramen we had, they have english order menu.

They have very special style running this Ramen Restaurant, you press the bell and they will come and take order from you. Before you enter, you choose your seats according to the lights which shows the availability of seats and the specific row. 

Shibuya crossing. Lots and lots of people from everywhere. 

Tokyo Tower! 



Sensoji Temple. Ahh, I love this temple, went there at night with the beautiful lighting. 


Finally, our family photo! 

fat face, fat me, and the siao po behind (she photoboomed! :( )



If you can see me :)

Divination at Sensoji Temple



The last dinner in Japan was at the very authentic dining/hang out place where the locals frequent after work. No english menu but we manage to get very nice local delicacies thru the help of a local with his translation. 

HAAHAHA!! Probably my favourite vending machine! :DDD

And that pretty sum up my short trip to Japan, would definitely come back to this lovely city in the near future! I love the life there, even being a free and easy tourist, we manage to experience showering in their Internet Cafe/ Manga Cafe just because we spend the night on bus travelling from Osaka to Tokyo. What an experience!

Before I end, I hope you guys love my post! It takes me quite some time to edit and write this after so long long time. :D
