I don't think i can blog out every single detail of my stay in Japan so i'm probably gna just blog out the main highlights of my trip. Well, first you got to know that i'm seriously not a huge fan of jap. food esp when it comes to eating sashimi (raw fish), so everytime we head out to grab food, my entire family will be enjoying their sashimi and typical jap food while my sis have to seperately order either rice or noodles for me :D Had lunch at this ramen shop that served really really awesome ramen! They serve it to u within seconds & it is rly rly (Y)

Oh, and check out their toilet!!! Look at the number of toilet rolls!!!! omg. hahah! When i went in, i literally went "wooww..." and just stood there staring blankly at the toilet rolls. MASSIVE RIGHT!?? I guess they are just too busy to bother refilling it, so they installed that many toilet rolls in e toilet. hahaha. I think its rly cool! It's practically a TOILET ROLL GALORE! :D

So..after our awesome ramen we went to tour around the place a little and guess what we saw!!! A humongous hello kitty sitting outside a sanrio shop that is filled with a whole lot of pink!!!!! I'm not exactly a hello kitty, my melody, etc fan so i didn't get anything from that shop but i was rly attracted by all the pink stuff!! I'm sure all u hello kitty fans out there would go crazy from simply being in that shop, seeing all the sanrio characters :)

Stayed in this really really amazing hotel; Hotel Okada to experience what its like staying in a jap-style hotel with hot springs, tatamis, full course jap dinner sent specially to our room, lots of pretty kimonos for you to choose from and everything awesome! :D

Putting on our kimonos & getting ready to head off for our onsen! I was really reluctant abt e whole onsen experience initially, cos..the 'dress-code' for soaking in the onsen is to go entirely nude, no swimming costumes no lingerie allowed, just bare skin bare body totally nude. But my sis & my mum kept telling me that it'd be a waste if i come all the way here and not even experience the onsen once at all, the previous time i went to japan, i gave it a miss while my mum went. So aft contemplating it for quite some time, i decided to go give it a try this time! I mean, its all girls anw!! (yes, its girls w girls, boys w boys, no mixed k!) Plus!! The onsen has some kind of mineral that makes ur skin really smooth and actually cures body aches, etc. Thats why japanese loveeee onsens!

I felt rly awkward initially, seeing all e nude ladies walking to & fro -.- but slowly passed the awkward stage. The onsen's water is srsly hot y'know, it's like FRIKIN HOT and apparently you are not supposed to stay in the onsen for too long, if not u'll faint or sth, i think cos the heat will start getting to ur head? :/ I pretty much enjoyed soaking in the hot spring esp when the weather is so cold, it's rly relaxing :)

So..after the onsen..it was dinner time! But i didn't rly enjoy my dinner cos i didn't like most of the food laid out on the table as they were mostly raw food :S But my family loved it & couldn't stop commenting how wonderful the dinner was. lol.

Well, knowing how beneficial the minerals in the onsen is to my body, i had to go a second time & this time round, before heading straight for our hot spring, we went for a foot spa first! It's pretty similar to a hot spring just that its shallower and only meant for ur foot.

So the next time any of u make a trip to japan, DO go enjoy the hot springs there kay! though u may feel awkward with all the nudity & everything, but once u soak in the hot spring, you'd feel so relaxed u will forget about all the naked women around u :) ESP FOR GIRLS who really want soft skin :D I shall end it here, losing the drive to post any further :/ Will cont. about the other main highlights of my trip the nxt time! Next post would probably be on my day at disneysea, the mysterious volcanic black egg, mt fuji, beef dinner & more pictures!! ^^

Feeling rly excited for tmrrr!!! Can't wait!!! Wonder what's in store for me!! ♥♥ & Christmas is in 2 days time!!! Christmas mood! falalala! :)
