Japan! (Day 4) -Mount Fuji

Woke up very early today..at about 6am.. coz we need to take a train to Tokyo, and from there, to join a tour for our Mount Fuji trip. There isn't any tour to join in Narita (where we were staying). We reached Toyko at about 8am...had breakfast... which is soba... and waited for our tour guide.. and took this dunno how many hours bus...up to the 5th station of Mount Fuji.. Didn't take any photos along the way.. because the journey is soooOoOoOo Long! was sleeping all the way.. Thank goodness Singapore is so small..haha.. anyway, the bus couldn't go any higher..as the mountain gets steeper and steeper.. actually, if we're adventurous enough, we can hike all the way up... but....nah.... we're joining the tour.. and it's freeking cold! think almost zero degrees...and i'm wearing a short short skirt... wah piangz... legs don't feel a thing-numb!

Here's a picture of Mount Fuji.. the small white patches are...of course... snow.. it's cold..

A Picture of me and Mount Fuji. I was so lucky... because right after I took this picture, the clouds came and covered Mount Fuji, so can't see it clearly anymore...haha
There you see... the clouds are coming! ahhh! hurry for the last take!
No more Mount Fuji...

This is the signboard of the 5th station up the Mountain we're at... 2400 (mi) ...is it metres?

Afer this, we visited a souvenior shop right there.. bought a few cups.. and ornaments..

We're going to visit the next mountain..forgot what's the name..it's all in Japanese... Gotta take a cable car up the mountain.. It's a volcanic mountain.. which is inactive already *duh*

A model of the cable car system! so cute.. haha.. mini map..

Cable cars coming! one car can house about 10 people?!
This is the BEST picture we took... the clouds came...and we can't see a thing! *argh* Supposed to be able to see crater, made by huge rocks during the eruption and some mining activities going on...for sulphur....smelly!
We're in the cable car!

Xing Fu bell? Ding Dong! ~

Reached the moutain already... There's hot spring! hot spring in Japan is very expensive, in tourist spots.. so, nah...never go... However, there's a small spring here, for tourist to have a feel of the water... It's very hot! ...but bearable lah.. we all took turns to scoop the water...to wash our hands.. anyone can decipher the Japanese words on the stone? suppose to be a lucky well i think.. i see some people dabbing the water over their mouths...haha
See how hot the spring is? steam! anyway.. the whole place is very smelly.. because of sulphur.. and... we actually ate eggs cooked by the hot spring.. a stall is set up at the mountain, selling eggs... about $1 for an egg.. and the best thing about the boiled egg...is that, it's black in colour!...the shell of course...because of the sulphur.. i ate 2! so nice! didn't take a picture of it, was busy eating...*keke*
Ta-da... big ship...we're taking this ship, to the other side of the shore.. instead of cable car.. and from there, we'll go back to Tokyo..
Going onboard!
Can anyone tell that i'm shivering..it's very very cold! It's all hills and mountains at the back...
The top of the ship..
Nice ya? greeeneries......... so cute..this lump of greens..

More greens...........

Ha... putting a hood over us to prevent our hair from getting messy...the wind is very very strong.. i had to hold on to my skirt...if not...........
see...my hair.........
too cold...so we went into the cabin... and there's a small stall inside too...bought some tidbits... sat down to eat... all the way back to shore... the end of tour... our tour is inclusive of a train ride, back to tokyo....bullet train! if you're never sat in a bullet train, it's as good as you've never been to Japan!
Look....very very fast...can't even take a picture of it...
OooH... so scary.. anyway, this train ride is very costly.. think it's about $70.... the things in Japan are actually reasonable...like shopping...food.... it's about the same as Singapore... really..but the transport is a killer! an hour journey on the bus/train cost easily $30...compared to our few dollers in Singapore... Cabbies are worse! It'll cost about $600 to get from Disneyland back to our hotel... cabbies.. in hundreds!

waiting for our train..... which is the super fast bullet behind...

yeah...stopped...that's the train we're taking..it feels like you're in an aeroplane..the seats.... and...there's also a steward inside selling drinks and tidbits...
Reacher Tokyo... saw a chinese restaurant at the station, went in right away... it's been quite many days we haven't had chinese food.. look at the utensils....so cute! everything in Japan is just so... detailed........to every bit......
Went to shop at Ueno.. a street famous to be like Bugis... unlimited stalls.... very interesting... you can get anything you want here... like comics... figurines... toys... food... chocolates... clothes, bags etc... anything you want...thing veron and felicia will go crazy over here... hahha... oh, they also have sex shops...not like those in Singapore...their's is like 2 to 3 storeys selling sex toys... porn vcds, dvds, books...posters...and costumes! they have one whole floor for that! haha..sailor moon.. bunnies.. hand cuffs, chains..e.tc... wah piangz... alot! also, they have alot of soft toys catching machines here.... look! darling caught so many for me! haha.. chip & dale.. mickey & minnie..etc...
There's the station name.. and after this, we went to the ever famous 100-yen shop.. it's like our $1.99 shop in Singapore.. but....the things are so so cute! you can find alot of disney stuff here for only $1.40++...but in Singapore, you pay $1.99 for dunno what....can't be compared...

And on the last day, we just shopped around for 4 hours...at AEON shopping centre... near our hotel...and back to Singapore........didn't take photos on the last day... too sad... dun wanna come back!

Japan...i'll be back!

Japan! (Day 3) -DisneySea

The scenery in DisneySea is SooOooOoO different from DisneyLand.. It's so much nicer! the whole place is surrounded by water! DisneySea itself is a land, and it's boundary is actually the sea! might be the pacific ocean..haha..dun know much about Geography...

This was at the entrance of DisneySea. Big Big globe... same instructions.. if we lose each other, we must come back to this globe at 12pm..
Went for our first ride.. It's a submarine ride! Thought it was a real submarine...but nah.. but we really went into this submarine-look-alike thingy, and when it closes, it moves... and we really felt like we're submerged many many feet under water!

Took this from afar. This is a volcanic mountain...and it actually erupts! It's a roller coaster ride and it's not open that day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See the smoke coming outta the tip? After this, we walked to the next land.. the place where Mermaid lives! well, along the way... i took a picture of this.........
You'll definately not see this in Singapore! so nice! so ka-ler-ful! there are many other plants.. just that i didn't take them all.. apparently, all plants in Japan is nice...... and pretty! Took this outside the palace...where mermaid lives... we're sitting on a big big shell! wanna see mermaid's dad? Is his name King Triton or something? hahaha...
and it's very dark inside...just like thousand feet below sea water.......so dark...yet surrounded by colourful creatures...jellyfish! many others... pufferfish.. octopus...etc... no time to take them all..busy taking rides!
We stopped over at Arabian Market for lunch..had Arabian food loh.. if you're in Mermaid Laggoon, you'll be have westerm food..haha..depends on where you are.. Arabian food is like Indian food..had naan...prata... nasi something... *burp* After that, we went into a souvenier shop..and i saw this mirror...........Now you don't see it...............
Now you do!...........................
Went for a roller coaster ride after lunch.. so afraid i'll just vomit my lunch out.. the roller coaster will actually turn 360 degrees... but no vomitted lunch.. no worries!
The fire behind...is real! not lightings k...it's real fire... with water..and smoke...dunno how they do it.. so amazing... Dunno what's the name of this creature....do you know? $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Miss Mousie...
Mr Mousie...

and the ever famous Minnie Mouse... Mickey Mouse is behind..and he's not free to take photo with us.. *sigh* Pluto....... i pulled it's ears!Trying to steer a ship Mr Darling Mickey?! We stayed on to watch the finale of the night... BRAVISEAMO.. a musical show..with water...and fire... so NICE!!!!!!!! compared to the musical fountain we have in S*nt*s*....my goodness.... *speechless* It's a story of a Swan and Dragon.. how the swan influence the ferocious dragon to be friendly.. the swan is made of water..and dragon-fire... damn nice loh..no pictures though.. too crowded...can't take it :( we tried..but it's too dark....

After that, we took a train back to DisneyLand, as the main railway is at DisneyLand.. for us to take a train back to our hotel. No more buses...and definately cannot take cab...to take cabs in Japan, be prepared to pay a few hundred SG dollars...I'm serious! my friends warned me before i went over to Japan...anyway, Look at the train.. so damn cute! Even the train windows are Mickey Mouse Shape! And.. look at the handles...mickey mouse too!
Darling is sitting down..with many souveniers bought from DisneyLand/Sea! Beside him is a showcase...of Disney products..and some stories... cool right?! In the day time.the temperature is about 19 degrees...at night..about 14 degrees i guess... so cold! luckily Darling brought along his windbreaker! and...that's darling..holding on the mickey mouse handles... So tired after a day... we stop by many night food stall to have a quick bite.. so many yummy stuff to munch! *fat*

Gotta rest..... long day again tmr.. we're going to Mount FuJi! Look out for Day 4! I promise..i'll post it up as soon as i can! haha..i even edited the date for this post! *wink*
