Japan Trip 2010 Day 1 Sunday, May 15 Exams are over, holiday starts now, and I'm finally updating this blog! I've been wanting to write about my first ever Japan trip last year, so here it is! I went with my aunt and her colleagues, and we took the midnight flight. It's been ages since I took a plane, and I tell you the journey was awful! I was down with cough and the jerky flight didn't make it better for me to sleep. By the time for breakfast, I felt really sick. Being a dumb person, I chose to eat the salmon out of all the food from the breakfast set, which made it worse.
It would have been a hearty breakfast though... I was lucky I didn't throw up! Thanks to my aunt for soothing my back. Haha ^^; Anyway, here's the plane that I took!    We arrived at Narita Airport and took the limousine bus (it's just a coach) to Shinjuku! I didn't sleep at all in the bus because I was afraid of missing out any scenery that we passed. Lol. And you know what, the guy who sat behind me was snoring like nobody's business!! Surprisingly he was able to wake up in time for his stop?! We alighted somewhere in Shinjuku near Odakyu, and we were lost! I didn't know the hotel was inside Kabuki-cho. Would have been easier to ask for the direction to Kabuki-cho than asking for the hotel! We were soooo lucky that a middle-aged man guided us all the way to the front of Kabuki-cho even though he doesn't speak English! What a kind person! So the day kick-start with us depositing our luggage at the reception as it was too early to check-in. Met up with my aunt's company's Japanese agents and off we went to Mt Fuji!
The journey to Mt Fuji was a long way, so we made a quick stop at Ebina SA and ate some delicious melon bread! (No photo of it because I was too hungry!)
AND FINALLY, we arrived at Hakone! We didn't go all the way to Mt Fuji itself, but stop at an eatery where could view the mountain range.
After that, we proceeded down hill to a restaurant. There were a lot of traffic since it was a holiday that day. I was impressed how all the drivers were patient and drove slowly and safely!  My first meal for that day. I was still suffering from motion-sickness and couldn't finish it! I don't know the restaurant's name but it has a souvenir shop at the first floor.
   There was a nice lake at the front of the restaurant. The place was scenic and peaceful~  Here's a lovely sunset photo. It's my favourite photo of the trip! No photos of silly me with dehydrated red lips. Lol. Next up, Disneyland! |
