walking up the hill to the Gora park ( entrance was free with the daypass). bought the hakone pass for 4100 yen. the weather wasn't really permitting and i didnt have lotsa time. the boats wouldn't run becaues of bad weather so my pass was quite useless.

fountain in the middle of gora park, hakone. and a small coffee restaurant, it had cooler weather than tokyo. but still a little humid.
there were a few girls sitting in the coffee place. it just seems like a scene out of an anime.

view from the park. ( it's weird. part of it is dark and gloomy and part of it is bright and sunny.) about the cat. i seem to see alot of cats.
so far i've seen cats who lives in ikebukuro, one in odaiba, and now one in hakone. :D this one didnt run away when i try to pet it.

Hakone Ropeway( no different than the one in penang, malaysia). cable car. ( about the same as genting) but this one was a little bit more violent as the wind was pretty strong when we were there. it didnt help that i was afraid of heights. lol. couldn't see anything due to the immense movement of fog. this cable car went over the sulphur pits. smelly. ( i didnt see the eggs which was supposedly increase ur lifespan when eaten)

on the way to the hakone hotel i was staying(Hotel Resorpia Hakone) i tried the hotsprings tub. the open air one. i went when it was like dinner time so that i don't have to see so many ppl in the pond.
when i got there there was like 4 naked guys. and they do cover their privates with their hands. i thought they were so brave just to walk around naked. i saw one coming out of the pond with his hand covering his privates.
lol after washing myself .( the showers were facing the wall. so noone could see u from the pond.) after that just go in the pond and soak. after soaking. come out wash again. then go back in soak a little while more then out to towel dry. didn't wash again so that the so -called natural elements can soak into the skin.
room i had was just on top of a small man made pond. it would have been quite nice if it wasn't for the fact it was still in the summer weather.

Mr. Kipling's Battenberg Cake. looks nice..

hmmm been so busy on friday forgot to update. will post 2 post to console myself today. to the cake. cake looks cute. but tastes horrible. maybe it was because i bought it cheap from sainsbury . it's original price was £1.29. but i bought it for 49p. cheap as i was. maybe that's the reason the cake tasted bad.. but the expiry wasnt till anohter 2 days time. :P anyways, it tasted like smelled like cough syrup. u know those red coloured ones. tasted okays. the outer layer is just icing erm or rather sugar.. no ideas waht that was but it was SWEET. then inside, just like the normal sponge cake. all in all.. i wouldnt buy it ever again. :P here are the pics.

my boring weekend

i went to camden on sat and almost got rammed by a stupid green car on the way back. anyways, i was bored. and it was a nice day. don't know anything bout tour de france, or wimbledon. took my bike out. and cycled down towards camden. it was a change from cycling to work. i spent £7 in sainsburys cos they were having a half price sale on john west's tuna in cans. the usual price is about £3.19. bought some stuffs.. ( coulnd't buy a lot cos i don't wanna ride home on a punctured bike) but i bought too many as well. i bought jaffa biscuit for 69p. for 24 pieces. finished it b4 sat was over. took some photos on the way. went into o2 to see if i could get any nice phones for free. turned out that i couldn't because i havent paid any phone bills since last year. looks like i'm gonna hvae to switch my sim card to a pay as you go thingy. then i went to the outdoor emporium to take a look at the karrimor travelpack. i dunno why .. that one seems to call out to me other
