On the 2nd day of my trip. We were brought to the Nissan Car Factory for a tour to see how their card are manufactured. Due to some privacy shit we weren't allow to take any pictures in the factory. But what I can say is.... To be able to see how a car is being manufactured from scratch... It's pretty amazing.

After which, we were then brought to a place for lunch. A really decent and pretty place I would say. Just take a look at the photo above ^^. The exterior is super ZEN.

After we had our tummy filled and seeing the beautiful place we had our lunch at. We headed to a local school for some exchange programme, where we were introduced to some basic Japanese instruments, thus we get to sit through a lesson with the students there. :)

Before we left, we took a group photo as a momento. I was kinda sad and didn't really want to leave even though I just spend like a few hours there... I don't know?!?!?! I'm such a emotional freak.

After we're done with the school exchange, its about time for dinner. We headed to our hotel to change to a Japanese wear (which I forgot what its called?!?!? Is it called Kimono?!?!?! LOL) & by the time we reach the place, the food is already set nicely for us. Talk about efficiency!!!!

After our dinner, my friends and I decided to head out to the nearby convenient store to get some titbits. So I went back to my room, changed to my comfy PJ and headed out together with my friends.

Got myself a few boxes of MeltyKiss which tastes so AWESOME!!! I don't know if they sell it in Singapore though but this shit got my sick the following days cuz I kept eating and eating and eating this non stop.

Aites, that's about it for Day 2. For Day 3,  we visited the Sea Hell (Hells Of Beppu), local university, street stalls, and soaked myself in the hot springs NAKED! Hahaha! I can't wait to share with you guys. Till next post~

Japan Visuals Day 1

Hello There. It's the eve of CNY Eve. Everyone's doing their last minute shopping CNY this coming week and that includes me as well. So to keep this space alive, I'm going to post some of the Japan photos that I took way back in 2009 where I went for a school exchange programme during my ITE Nitec year. Photos are all taken using my old Canon Powershot E1 camera. :)

We took a midnight flight over to Japan so it took us half a day to get to our destination.

[8th & 9th December 2009]

Upon reaching Narita International Airport, we still have to take a 1hour plane ride to our destination. And did I mention that it was FREEEEEEEZING when we touched down at the airport?!?!?! BRRRRR!!!

First thing we did when we touched down at our destination was to have our lunch at some local restaurant. Then after that, we went for a tea appreciation ceremony held at a local place where its kinda formal. LOL! Its my first time drinking authentic green tea, and we were given a sweet to munch cuz apparently the green tea is REALLY BITTER. The sweet is used to sweeten our tastebuds a little.

After the tea appreciation ceremony, we then checked into the first hotel that we'll be staying in. FYI we changed quite a number of hotels due to the places and locations we'll be going for the following days. So anyways, after we checked in to our hotel, we quickly changed and headed out for our dinner.

You know I have this "THING" for McDonald's. Like every country that I go to, I'll definitely try the McDonald's there. So without any hesitation, I went off to buy McDonald's for supper before heading back to our hotel. LOL!! When ordering, I had so much difficulty cuz the people there don't really speak English. So I have to depend on my communicating skills by pointing to the cashier the menu of the things I want to order.

That sums up my first day in Japan. More visuals will be up soon. :)
