Living in London

wow. i didnt realise that it was thursday already. and tomorrow's a friday and payday too !! whooopee !! okies. that aside, i managed to download a few demo games for the psp i bought. they look good. but i am still torn on which games to buy. i'm gonna go virgin store to find some 12 £ games. ridge racer feels good. but i'm still not sure as i don't really play games. i think i'm gonna buy tekken dark Resurrection that's the bash them up game. which i think i'll like. okies.. today i'm gonna buy 2 games. it's late nite shopping day anyways. will do. oh day 2 in akihabara is up as well. click here to view.

just got back and had to work like 10 hours a day.. not very nice .. as well as suffering from the jet lag. i still havent managed to fully unpack and sort all the items out. i think that's the problem with buying too many toys and don't really know which one to start playing with. okies.. today added day 1 in tokyo . nothing else happening in london for me at the moment. it's cold. that's for sure. it is nostalgic to see the seasons change. :D the tree i see from my kitchen window is starting to change its colours again. nuff said.

so okays.. my trip to japan was awesome. was hot and rainy at times.. but yes it was worth it. i flew JAL- japan airlines from london heathrow to tokyo narita. and back. :D *note to self. take aisle seat when possible unless going with bunch of 2 other friends. - it's hard to go to the loo when u have to crawl over ppl. ** make sure to ask for seats next to pretty japanese girls who speaks english. - i got stuck with a fat spanish man who couldn't really speak english. then on the way back i got stuck with 2 old japanese ladies who one of them kept elbowing me when sleeping. T_T. ***book my holidays in between 2 months. - this will ensure entertainment on flights will be fresh. my point of JAL. service was alright. but i've been on better serviced flights. entertainment was horrible. okok.. maybe exaggerating a little. 12 channels. 14 on the newer aircraft. channels = shows. so .. 12 hours one way.. = bored out of my wits. this will be an introduction to my 15 day 14 nights...

after 2 whole weeks in japan. i made a conclusion as with many other tourists had made. i didnt see enough of japan. :D i'll be back. lucky there was no earthquake or typhoons where i was. and it was kinda disturbing to see that every hotel had a sign in case of FIRE AND EARTHQUAKE !! .. lol that's my ride. :D Narita airport duty free flying across siberia or wherever. finito. finish. owari.

finally time to leave kyoto. no hard feelings. but i suspect i would love kyoto when it snows. took the hikari train back that goes to shinagawa. then arrived checked into prince hotel shinagawa. was a small room but usable. then i started my last minute shopping to burn all the cash i had. so there's not gonna be much photos on this day. shinagawa train station shinagawa prince hotel surround areas at night. so different from the oak hotel in ueno where it was quiet. this place was brimming with life. so many ppl moving in and out. i had ramen at a stall. the only one i could find. i wanted those street side eating like back in malaysia. anyways, i took this photo and the flash fired.. OH shit.. lol. i said sorry. i usually take night photos without flashes. sigh.. i hurriedly hid my camera back in its pouch. yodobashi akiba at night

day 13 : a visit to kaiyukan, osaka, japan along the way of finding the kaiyukan, rows of shops around the area. and the station for the kaiyukan. the kaiyukan from the outside. and the santa maria boat i think that goes around osaka bay. nope. didnt go on sit. no doubt i wanted to see a HUGE whale shark. but to my dismay, it looked so small in the aquarium. lol. entrance to kaiyukan and life size model of the whale shark yu. T_T. see.. not very big right ?? i was expecting it to be like 5 football fields long. wow! look at that otter or whatever it is. looks nice doesn't it ? :P and some freshwater arowana and the tomans(white striped catfish ?). BIG !! watching fishes makes me wanna go to sleep. but inside here it's airconditioned so it's cooler than staying outside and with it playing the classical music or something.. made me felt like i wanna sleep. seeing the fishes, they are like so peaceful. okies. this blog of acrylic glass was used to construct the tank that holds...

View from Nara Park Station deers at nara park. bought some biscuits to feed them . 150yen. well u don't have to look for them. they hang around the place where they sell biscuits. and when u buy one. the deers will come for u. literally. they will try and headbutt u to give them the biscuits. i had about 6 deers around me. one pulled me by biting on my lowepro camera side pouch. lol. after u're done with the biscuits. they will leave u alone. even if u try to put ur hands out and pretend u have things for them. they won't come. lol. use you and abuse u and then leave u. lol . the deers more school excursions to visit historical places by students.. ( they come in the busloads) phew.. it was sooo hot the weather on that day. i can't see how the kids could take the heat. the temperature that day was 34C. i saw it on telly. was hungry while in nara. the other side of nara park had a pond filled with tortoises. and saw a small shop beside it. so asked for food. they gave m...

Ginkakuji - silver pavilion the word says it's made of silver. ( i thought so because the GINkakuji is covered in gold.) sheesh... it's only an old wooden shack. lol. zen garden and map of the place. entrance to kiyomizudera temple and while walking up the stairs, 1 girl and 1 guy dressed up in kimono. absolutely ugly. T_T wooden wishes and magic water.( don't really know the word for it but it seems that it is a special type of water) some temple off the site of kiyomizudera's entrance or something and view of kiyomizudera temple. shaved ice in around kiyomizudera temple's path. the strawbery flavoured shave ice costed about 600 yen i think. small river in kyoto. can't remembre where i took this. it's only because it was straight and u could see as far as the eyes could see. fushimi inari shrine. torii mon (gates). the map shows that i walked the whole mountain of fushimi inari in kyoto. ( each time i stop and asked a person coming down.. mada tooi desu ka ...
