First Day in Japan

Abit late, but better than never ^_*


I began to take a leave on Thursday, so I didn't go to office on that day. In the morning, I went to saloon to have a creambath ^__^;; then we (my grandma, dad & mom) went to the airport at 14.00. My step-sister already there when we arrived. Then we gathered with another ganks (who took the same trip on the same travel-agent). Later I found out, in our group (20 people including the tour-leader), I'm the YOUNGEST one ! Other participants mostly are uncles & aunties >.<;; I had a slight feeling that I thought I won't enjoy this trip *imagine ! I dun have any topics to make a conversation with those oldie people ;p*. Well, in the airport, I met my high school friend, Ano, but we didn't talk too much, since he's very busy doin his job *he's working at a travel agent too, and I assumed he was at the airport to handed tickets for his clients*.

The flight from Medan to Kuala Lumpur was 15.30, and arrived at KLIA, the first shop that I enterred was Sports Shop (near Gate C), I was looking for new Adidas's T-shirt or bag, but I ended up buying a wallet (^_^)v, then I went to Book Shop and saw Sandra Brown's novel "Hey Darkness" & Linda Howard "Kiss Me While I Sleep", which I haven't read (because Indonesia *Gramedia* hasn't release `em) >.<, I wanna bought those novels, but my ringgits weren't enough *and I'm too lazy to change it anymore since I need more money in Japan* .. We had dinner at one of the fast-food in KLIA, and the flight to Japan was 20.00 (but we need to transit to Kinabalu (again!) before flying to Tokyo -__-;;), 2 hours flight to Kinabalu from KL, then rest for 1 hour, and then checked in again and directly flied to Tokyo. It's my first experience slept in plane ^^;; and I felt uncomfortable, since I still had FLU, and it's really difficult to breathing (I had to use my mouth for breathing), but still I could sleep :) At about 05.00 AM (Japan's time), we saw the sunrise from plane, it's really beautiful !! Japan is the most eastern country in Asia, that's why I felt the sun is bigger than in Indonesia :p
Arrived at Narita Airport at 06.30 AM, and still had a jetlag & sleepy ^^;; We were fetched by the local tour-lader (Mr. Jan -> he's a chinese, Jakarta's residence, but already worked in Japan for 15 years). We brushed our teeth and washed our faces at toilet coz we directly did our first schedule and won't check in at the hotel until nite. Before left the airport, we went to the money changer (Keiyo Bank) to changed YEN. The first impression when we're out from the airport, gyaaaahh ... Japan is SO CLEAN !!! and the air is so FRESHHHHH *deeply breathing* ^_^ !
Mr. Jan took us to Asakusa Kanon Temple. It's a nice temple, and luckily at that time, there's a flower festival, with many kindergarten students parade along the street.


Me infront of Asakusa Kanon Temple ! Oh nooo, sleepy & jetlag's face ^^;;


The entrance door into the temple


Many shops along beyond the temple


I LOVE POCARI SWEAT !! *can't live without consuming it* ;p Look at the Sakura tree, kireiii~


I found these posters when I bought Pocari Sweat, and guess, I might fly to the sky, coz my fave japanase actor, Masaharu Fukuyama advertised it ^__^


I tried to call [profile] sakuraaa, but her mom said she's still in school ;( and her mom suggested me to call her again in lunch time. And then I phoned Hendra Dermawan (a school-mate of mine in high school), and I was still unlucky, he didn't answer my call >.<

From Asakusa Kanon Temple, the driver took us to Ginza's area (to have lunch & shopping). From the way to Ginza, we passed through Rainbow Bridge. We had our lunch at yakiniku restaurant *forgot the name*. The restaurant was so crowwwwdddd of tourists. After lunch, we shopping at Ginza. Oh Gosh~ all of branded shops were in this area, and I'm proud to say that I couldn't afford to buy anything *lol* .. Since Mr. Jan gave us 2 hours in this area, and I didn't have any idea what to buy, so, I ended up buying one box of fresh strawberry & a bottle of Pocari Sweat @ supermarket and 3 J-League soccer magazines (Number, Soccer Magazine Weekly, World Soccer Magazine) ^_^;; and back to bus to eat & read them. I was so happy, since all the magazines have Tsuneyasu Miyamoto's articles *yeeehaaaa !!* ^__^ !


Ginza's area


All branded shops along the street


Very clean, rite ?


After Ginza, We went to Odaiba (Aqua City & Seaside Mall). From here, we can saw Rainbow Bridge *very very beautiful*, there's also a Liberty replicate :p

Damn~ I looked so pale >.<


Nice View


Before Sunset


Me & Sunset


I tried to call [profile] sakuraaa again, but she didn't pick up her mobile >.<, then I phoned Hendra, thanks god he finally answered :) we chit-chat about 10 mins, and he promised to met-up with me the next day after 18.00, and accompany me to Disneyland on Sunday ^___^.
We had dinner at a chinese restaurant at Aqua City. Btw, before went upstairs (to the restaurant), I saw a guy who really does look alike TAKASHI TSUKAMOTO. At first I really didn't realize it, because in my mind, Takashi's hair is still blonde, and this guy's hair is black, abit long and curly at bottom and he wore sunglasses, and he wasn't alone, there are 1 guy and 1 woman stood beside him (feel like the guy is his bodyguard, and the woman is his manager ;p) I was still guessing and forgot to took out my DGCam to captured him *bakaaaaa me!!!* >.<


Night View of Rainbow Bridge :)


After dinner !


With my MOM ^_^


Went back to hotel, oh yesh, we stayed at Tokyo Prince Hotel for 3 days :) and checked in. We got a great room at 9th level. From our room's window, we can viewed Tokyo Tower, it's really near lor ~!! ^__^ After took a bath, I went to public phone to call [profile] sakuraaa again, finally she picked up her phone hehehehe .. so, we made a commitment to met up the next day at Akihabara after hanami ^_^. I went back to room, made some photos of Tokyo Tower and watched TV until midnite *ahh well, all the news were about China's demonstration against Japan -> wasting time* and then ZzZzzZzz ..

To be Continue ... 2nd Day

I envy you! I've always wanted to visit japan because almost everything cool comes from there.

And it all looks so neat and clean and modern!

The sakura trees are definatly my favourite trees becuase they're so unique and not green Lol

PS! you're such a cutie!

[identity profile] pankponk.livejournal.com 2005-05-11 02:59 pm (UTC)(link)
sorry for took so long time to reply your msg

u're rite, japan is the cleanest country that i've ever visited *China is sucks, the dirtiest one ;p*

I bought J-League soccer magazines, since it's difficult to order online ^^;; u also pay attention to J-League ??

Sakura trees are really beautiful, if u wanna see that trees, you should visit japan on the end of March or beginning of April, coz they blossomed only about 2-3 weeks .. :)
