Nippon Ichi-Ban!

got back from 7 days in jap yest...aww man it was so bloody fantastic...enjoyed it even more than the prev time i went there in 2002...

basically covered most of the interesting places in tokyo like shinjuku shibuya ueno asakusa bla bla bla...their "electic town is cool...its machiam like our sim lim square...juz tt its the size of orchard road...

had lunch with my new found jap relatives on the 2nd day...in a very posh n traditional jap restaurant...used to be a palace in the meguno area...must have cost them a few hundred thousand yen....neway they r very nice warm frenly pple...juz tt there are some probs communicating...haha...lucky the mum has been learning english on her own for the past 2 years n her sons can speak a little...

n the food there is really damn ex...a proper meal will cost at least 600 yen pax...tts like 9 bucks man! but i kinda like the food there...not bad...n of course...all the babes! many of them dressed up very nicely when they r out...n some of them really dressed to kill....hot hot hot stuff....

think the highlight of the stay will have to be the trip up to the mountains...to yamamotogoya...bro rented a car...was about 300km away from our hotel i think...it took us about 1hr 15min each juz to get up n down the mountain...

its like over 2000km above sea level...its much better than my trip to mt fuji a few years back...the owner of the small resort took us on 2 short tours in a bus ard the mountain...one at nite n other in the morning...

the area at nite was vv cold...wind was strong n temperature was below 20degrees...couldnt see the deers but we shone out torches n saw the freakish greenish glow of their eyes...then he brot us to c stars! ive never in my entire life saw so many stars before...the whole sky was juz with them but dint spot any shooting stars though...the owner said shooting stars can be seen occasionally...

in the morning we got to c all the cows...trees...flowers n the scenery...omg it was juz so amazing...breathtaking...awesome...at the peak of the mountain looking down n across the mountain ranges...saying it was beautiful is an understatement...

ohh there was this image tt remains etched in my mind...a tall metallic tower (prob for communications) half covered by the clouds...too bad couldnt take a proper pic coz was on the bumpy bus ride...damn hard to take pics when my ass is constantly bobbling up n down the seat...

the food on the mountains was also surprisingly good...one of the dozen or so dishes was bbq fish...it was so fresh that the fishes were still moving when presented to us...the guy said that they juz caught the fishes from the river...yummy...and the milk there...so fresh...so sweet...its was juz freshly squeezed pure milk...unpasteurised...unsweetened...unprocessed...

we stayed on the mountain for abt 18 hrs...during which i went to the hot spring 3 times...twice in the morning before n after breakfast...hee...quite shiok...oso went exploring the area near my resort alone after breakfast n before we checked out...n again...it was beautiful...prob have to be there to understand...n the air...so fresh...so cold...so chilly at times...but so nice...

think im gona miss japan...but at least i know i will be going back there soon...prob in a couple years...mayb even for my grad trip...hokkaido mayb...we shall c...
