Back from Japan!
And I'm already missing it ):
JAPAN IS AWESOME!
The people there, the food, the scenery, everything!
Japanese are really an awesome bunch of people I tell you.
(I wouldn't say the same for those in Tokyo but those in the outskirts like Osaka and Kyoto, you'll be truly touched by their warm-heartedness.)
Before I met them, I never knew in modern day society, there would still be people who would go the extra mile to personally guide you to your destination when you're lost.
Can you believe that when we asked passer-bys in Osaka and Kyoto for directions, almost all of them offered to personally guide us there despite how busy they were?
There was one guy whom I think was on his way to school when we approached him.
And without hesitation, he immediately told us to follow him while he showed us the way to our hotel.
The best part is, it's not 1 or 2 who were this kind, all of them were!
Wow, right!
I was super impressed lor.
And I swear that if next time, should someone approach me for directions, I'll definitely extend the same kindness to them.
If I was shown this kindness, why shouldn't I pass it on?
So, I was talking about the Tokyo people being the exception.
Well, I guess I wouldn't blame them huh?
Afterall, it's Tokyo-the busiest city in the entire world? O.O
People there are just too busy rushing here and there to stop and listen to you.
They weren't that hostile anyway, just that compared to their fellow Japs in other cities, they weren't as helpful.
When we asked them for help, most still listened and guided you.
Actually, it was rather funny because we know how outrageous some Japs (esp those in Tokyo) dress right?
And some of them had that kind of punky outlook which makes us feel as though they're ready to punch us anytime we approach them.
But still, we asked them for directions and what you get is rather surprising, their hostile front melts down and you realise they're just like any one of us lor.
Haha.
It was quite fun, I thought.
Next thing, the food there!
I never got enough of their mochi!
They even had those wrapped with real strawberry fruits! ♥
Yummy!
In fact, in Japan, mochi is called daifuku which translates to 大福 in chinese.
Haha, so cute right.
And they also have so many interesting stuff there.
I love visiting their convenience stores.
It's so different from those in Singapore!
You can practically find everything in there.
Even buns and cakes are sold in packaged forms!
And their breads are very chewy too, nicer than those fresh from the oven kinds.
I love their rice too!
It's nice just eating their plain rice alone cause the grains are so plump and chewy, not those tough, longish kind we eat in Singapore.
Oh, and Miza's so cute!
Miza's a little girl from Sg we met while we were there!
Teehee.
Free-and-easy's so fun!
You get to witness the way of life of the people there. {:

Wellwell...
I guess I'll just update up to here.
The rest, I'll probably be too lazy to type out.
So long it's still in my brain can already.
I just wanted to share about the kindness of the Japanese people.
Haha.
* Pictures shall be up soon!
