~Back From Japan~

HEEHEE. Actually i was back from japan since monday. WOW. What a trip! To think last week this time I was eating ramen at a stall outside tokyo metro in shinjuku. haha.

I miss japan already. lol. I guess its just that we just didn stay long enough. Didn manage to visit all the places i wanted to visit like harajuku, shibuya and akihabara. BUT i did manage to go to Ochinomizu, the famed guitar street and OH MY GOD. Ochanomizu has guitars is the biggest understatement of the year. The amount of guitars they pack into a single shop and the amount of guitar shops they pack into that single street was like a direct reflection of the amount of people packed in tokyo.

Also, it was actually great to finally be able to know for sure what i have been learning for 2 years is actually applicable in real life? haha. Although my jap was still very limited but i think it managed to help out in a few situations... The words I found myself using the most however, were "ninhongo wa youku dekinai" Haha.

Oh and although i was supposed to be the tourist there, at least once everyday some jap couple/family will ask me to help them take photo. "Shyashin o totte kuremasu ka?" and i always forgot to say doo itashimashite after they thank me =x

JAPAN HAS ALMOST NO RUBBISH BINS! We had to get used to carrying our rubbish with us as we walked around. Also, we have to clear up our trays after meals. Even at Macs. YES i went to try the macs there. Haha. It was pretty different, and you had to seperate the rubbish to the extent of cup, drink, ice, cap, straw etc...

Of all the meals i ate there, most of them were from convenience stores. But the food they have in their convenience stores... WOW. Can taste better than some of the jap food stalls/ restaurants in singapore. Pictures after i end this semester. =) But of all the meals i ate there, the best meal i must say was from this small little neighborhood store. I had a huge plate of beef curry rice and it was cooked so well, i missed the curry the moment i stepped out of the shop. haha.

ok. maybe i'll stop here today. just a small update. TONNES of submission by next week cos semester ending soon. Im happy but stressed out. omg.
