Yep, i'm back once again. The trip was, well, better then i expected.. In fact, it was an eye-opener. But sadly, there wasn't anyone in the tour group of around the same age as me. And i can say there wasn't another teen except my sis -.-'
Well well, first day there and it was already freezing cold at -4*c (as what the ever-friendly SIA pilot says). Sounds cold but i somehow made do with a normal long sleeve tee under my TMS wind breaker. Say, wind breaker aint specifically used for minus degree environment rite? Well, at least i did survive thru that.. The rest of em have to lug a bulky winter coat while i jus used a wind breaker. The tms crest was spotted all the way in japan ok.. haha
I wun go in details much. U jus go ahead and pay fer the trip to experience urself. I can onli say the weather's nice. See snow but not snowing, so wadever.. i wanted some snowing but it came in liquid form instead -.-' raining. came on the day we went to disneyland. so many rides close. ahh..
water + cold temp + wind = no joke
it was freezing me thru that micron thin tms wind-breaker. At least my brain was still warm enuff to function and decide to seek shelter back in the bus. LOLx
Scenery there was very nice. Mountains everywhere with white snow covered tops and such. Cars oso very nice. Evo, STi, Golf GT, 350Z, NSX, RX7 and the nice nice powerful cars everywhere. Speaking of cars, i actually went to the Toyota Showroom all the way in tokyo. Almost all the toyota's cars are there. And guess wad? i was so so lucky to witnessed the launch of the all new Camry. Tho its not really my type of car, but i tink the looks so much nicer then the current one. I saw the new Lexus IS series oso. Now, that's what i call neat. I tink i'm planning to aim fer that car already. Tho its abit small, but i still go for looks. Hah.
And yea, i tink throughout the trip there, i seem to have spotted a few of the scenes from Initial-D. Let's see.. I tink i spotted the petrol station where was working working, the tofu shop where Jay stays and the railway crossing where Jay spotted the girl he likes across the track that part u noe. Yea, the tofu shop is not really a tofu shop -.-' i recognise the parking space beside the shop where Jay park his AE86 and the shop does look exactly like the one from the show, jus the the tofu shop name is gone. So is the petrol station, where theres the garage beside the petrol station's minimart.
I do keep a lookout for these ok.. Anyway, the parking space beside the tofu shop doesn't stand a AE86 when i pass by, but its a cool orange nissan 350Z!
Japanese have cool inventions and technology, as quoted from the tour guide. One, is the toilet bowl. Toilet seat warmer is good for winter. But it states warmer, not heater. So why is it so so hot? Then it has auto cleaner, which cleans up ur butt after u are done with ur business. Sounds so fantastic, but all it does is shoot water up ur ass. Worse of all, it stated warm water, not hot water,
BUT i tink there's the same prob with the seat
warmer. Tried it once, never a second time. I tink i prefer the manual way of cleaning up.. The tour guide says there's some newer model which blows warm air to dry up. But now i noticed he used the word
warm, so i guess i wun giv it a try even if i come across.
Some great invention it is..
