Florence Sweet 16th Birthday celebration! : )

Nine days and eight nights at japan ( Tokyo )  I love winter seasons , is cooling! The time different between singapore and japan is 1 hour. For the consecutive 9 days , i woke up 5am ( singapore time ) , it's early! Got to change hotel everyday.! I want to go back to japan again.. ( it's a must! ) :D

Day 1 ( free and easy )
Arrived at Narita International Airport at 8 am. The temperature at that time was 1 degree. ( Shiok ) Find our way to their local train station. ( it's complicated ) but after times of taking it , we got used to it. :) Took their local train , transit here and there with our baggage around , up and down the many flight of stairs. ( it 's heavy and super tiring ) . The train very quiet as almost everyone is sleeping. One hour plus of train ride and finally we got to check into our hotel , took a short nap , and went out again. Took their local train to UNEO, Transit here and there as well . & the train fees isn't cheap ,each time you transit got to pay a different amount.. and is like 190 yen person or more ( it depend on the place ). Arrived at the place , see the local people there , their walking pace is like so fast , as seem they are in hurry or something..? Saw this group of people , giving out free heat pack to passerby , if passerby didn't take , they force them. lol. Night falls around 4 as it's winter. Shop around till 8 plus , train back to hotel and rest for the next day...

Day 2 ( DisneySea )
Took Train down to DisneySea! : D ( only one in the world )  it's super crowded! Some rides here is almost the same as what i took at Disneyland ( USA ) , but here is some how slightly more thrilling. * Fast-Forward* Since it's christmas , their's Christmas show and i love it! Christmas songs in japanese , parade but unable to see , too many people blocking me. lol. and lastly the important part the fireworks! The fireworks isn't nice , not what i expected , compared to USA..

Day 3 (1st Day of Land Tour )
Local tour leader came to our hotel and picked us up , and we had to train down to Fuji Airport to meet up with the rest of the tour people. The tour leader and us had to carry our baggage and train there , this time is more tiring than the first day . Baggage got heavier and the way the tour leader walk is like SUPER fast ... we had to run with our baggage , roll it and hand carry!! Transit here and there and reach to this Bullet train station.. Brought ticket , and Bullet train ticket are expensive! 7000 yen which means at least $110 per person. After buying the ticket , the tour leader ran super fast! and we like chasing after here..and quickely rush in fast to the bullet train.. After a total journey of 3 hours plus , finally arrived at the airport and their flight was delayed and we had to wait... As they had touched down , we took the tour coach to Mount Fuji which is like 2 hours. But sadly , we cant get close to Mount Fuji as there's road bloack due to the heavy  snow.. and we alighted and went to the tourism section and watch a video. ( Pathetic , went all they way there to watch a video ?! lol. ) and after that went back to hotel. It's kind of Japanese style , TaTaMi . Dinner > Use Laptop > Went for  Onsen ( hot spring ) , the water not warm enough , then kena chided by one japanese ahma. > Sleep.   

Day 4
Woke up 5am , make a 5 hours journey ride off tokyo and arrived at the ski resort. And it's snowing there! ( it's beautiful! ) . Rented the ski equipment and headed off to ski! It was snowing heavly and when i ski-ed down snow was like kept on entering inside my eyes plus the wind ( it's super duper cold! ). My skiing skills improved! now able to ski left and right..and this time i didnt fall down at all! Hehe. Swapped afterway , and decided to change to ski board , it's hard for me , will keep on falling down.. 4 hours of skiing and headed back to another hotel. Dinner > Onsen again > sleep .

Day 5 and 6  

 Headaed off to Nikko , it's snowing as well ( love it! ) . went to the temple , got to climb here and there ( Boring ! ) Then went to the world highest waterfall.. took pictures here and there.. and back to another hotel. Dinner > onsen again > sleep. The last onsen for the trip , tried 2 out 3 different kinds of onsen and this one is the best among all. :)

Day 7
Woke up , headed back to Tokyo.  The day at tokyo is more packed then the first few days. Arrived at the First highest Tokyo tower in the world ? Then Went to the electrical / anime shopping street.. Thn went to the a shopping place whereby it sells branded goods and others stuff.. Followed by , heading back to the Tokyo tower and took a lift up to the highest peak to have a look at the whole tokyo and the night view of it. Then went off to Tokyo ' Red District ' area , which means somehow like prositute area , but it like the women will pay the guys money to drink with them.  Lots of gangters there but their outfits were rather fashionable and  they belong to the same gang called ' Yakuza'.Dinner outside ,  Headed back to another hotel ( And this time the hotel is the best among the rest )

Day 8  ( free and easy )

Woke up later by one hour , the last time we gonna take their local train. Train to harujuku , shopped for hours then late noon. Train down to other place , Tokyo Dome , it's like a shopping centre plus a mini outdoor theme park. It's rather late at that time and decided not to buy the one day pass. Bought the price for one ride only , the roller coaster. It expensive , 1000 yen ( $16 ) per person for 1 ride and for 1 time only. It's so not worth it but the ride is SUPER DUPER thrilling! Lots of 360 degree turns and one SUPER DUPER steep slide down. ( it's REAL Steep! )  The second best Roller coaster i took so far. First is the Ghost rider at USA.. ( SHIOK! )       *Fast Forward * Train back to Ginza to meet up with the tour group then went back to another hotel.

Day 9

  After 10 hours plus ride included transit and got down to singapore. Went to the lost and found area to claimed our baggage as it's spoiled at japan. lol.

* The trip there was FUN! love the disneysea and the skiing! I really miss japan. hehe. Got to go back there one day! I've yet been to the disneyland!
