The last post stops at Hakone, the Proposal.
22 October 2014.
Its my XX's birthday today!
The weather is slightly better than ytd. Since its still foggy, we didnt take the Hakone Cruise. We wont be able to see Mount Fuji anyway. Just our luck!
We took photos before we left the hotel. Well, i looked too shagged, tired AND without makeup when the proposal photos are taken. Superficial is me, so we took some the following day! (:
HAHA.
Photos and memories that i will rmb for life.
Thanks guys, for making all these possible.
I actually hugged the balloon back to Tokyo. HAHA.
Took a bus and we returned back to the JR station, Odawara. (covered in the Hakone Free Pass! The name itself is an irony. Its not free!!! ROFL)
Reached back to the JR line after 1 hour or so.
Off we go to Tokyo!
Hakone ‐ Tokyo
Shinkansen Kodama 646
13:11 ‐ 13:47 (Track 14)
On time. Thats what Japanese are famous for.
It came and go. Zoomed. Always an interesting sight to me.
We booked the JR tickets beforehand, so we cant be late!
While we afford to miss the train (cause we are covered under the JR pass, and can take unlimited rides), that would mean that the JR coporation will made a loss of 5 seats cause other ppl can book the seats. haha.
Tokyo ‐ Hikari Shinjuku
Upon reaching Tokyo station, we had to buy train tickets before we can take the Marunochi and Fukutoshin Line to reach Shinjuku!
And Japanese use this machine. In my brother's terms, this is the machine which appeared to be there 20 years ago. They just update the software to be touchscreen. ROFL.
Cute school children!!!
I once read an article, this bag is very expensive.
There's many uses for this bag. It also serves as a float.
Randoseru, which comes from the Dutch word "ransel," or "backpack," vary in price. It's possible to find them for around $80, but the all-leather backpacks which most parents buy are around $300 and get as expensive as $800 or $900—or even more, depending on the materials and whether or not they are made in Japan. Most randoseru are made in Japan, and this is used as a selling point. Remember, these are bags that are built to last—and to be used by children from first grade to sixth grade. They need to be well-made, because kids carry the same bag for six years.
We went ot Shibuya at night, and i was shocked with the number of exits (40?!). Its v shocking.
Its very mentally stressful if you didnt do homework, especially with the crowd.
Personally, i dont find food in Japan ridiculous expensive. If anything, the price is about the same for restaurants in Singapore. ($15~)
While you may argue that you dont eat at restaurants everyday, there are cheaper alternatives in Japan. Lots of fast food chains (yoshinoya!), snacks from convenience stores etc.
I need to return to Japan too. hahaha!! Look at the food.
Sense of happiness. Its red bean.
One cant skip sashimi in Japan.
At Uniqlo! But we didnt buy anything. Its cheaper, but we have got more than enough winter clothes. HAHHAA.
Because its my XX's birthday, we surprised him w a cake! Which he knew it all along. Plan fail. HAHAH. Oh, he is such a good actor. He act surprised. ROFL.
Happy birthday, my dearest XX.
Dont ask me why, we enjoy buying alot of food and eat at the comfort of the apartment.
This feels more shiok than dining outside.
Damage at Tokyu Hands!
Japan is incomplete for any crafter, without a trip to Tokyu Hands.
It has been one year since i went Japan. I have used 50% of it. Good effort. ROFL.
