Ramblings About My Life..

Pictures From My Japan Trip

There hasn't been much to blog about these days - interesting things that I feel like blogging about will probably get me arrested (what with Pak Lah cracking down on bloggers/SMSers disseminating "untruthful" information) and everything else that is bloggable in my life right now will probably put readers to sleep faster than halothane (or anaesthetic of your choice) - so I'll just post some pictures of my trip to Japan. Enjoy!


Hiromi and me in our Osaka hotel room before we left for the Gion Festival in Kyoto.


A float at the Gion Festival.


The Golden Temple in Kyoto.


Would you believe that we queued up for an hour for these?


Okonomayaki!


Picture of the Kobe skyline, taken from Kobe Tower.


Mmm...Kobe beef!


The both of us wearing yukata.


Japanese-style crab tastes rather nice!


The Hikari shinkansen (although we took the Nozomi - a newer and faster shinkansen!).


Meet the parents...


...and the relatives...


...and more relatives! Hahaha!


The view from one of the bedrooms in Hiromi's house.


Shibuya - fashion district of Japan.


Both of us in our Tokyo hotel room.


A picture of Tokyo Tower, taken from our room window.


Tokyo Disneyland!


Hiromi and me in the spinning-teacup-thingy. Childish? Yes, but satisfyingly so.


The Yokohama waterfront.


A humongous tuna I saw at the Tsukiji Fish Market.


The best sushi I ever had.


A picture of us at the famous Sensoji shrine at Asakusa.


We couldn't resist using the favourite pose of Japanese schoolgirls.


Disneysea!


I was imitating the statues behind us - but Hiromi looks like she's about to kick me! I bet Mickey never had to say "No Minnie no--UGH".


I couldn't resist harnessing Genie and making him my faithful steed. Muahaha.

That's all for now! I'll see you around!
