ok..now shall blog abt my trip..photos to be up soon..(i hope..haha)












We went a lot of places this time round..






we spend the 1st 2 days in tokyo, after that went to Hakodate for another 2 nites,then to Hokkaido(Sapporo) for another 3 nites, then back to Tokyo for the final 6, inclusive of a day trip to Osaka...




As i mentioned earlier, managed to conquer the train systems there..SUPER complicated and there were lotsa ppl in a humongous train station...proud of myself..HAHA..managed to find our platforms even though in some situations, we have abt 4 mins to change to the next train..its like amazing race..where we ran to and fro with maps in our hands..hee..so, if i can travel Japan free and easy, so can u! ( considering what a road idiot i am! =p)






The weather there was VV cold!sob..At Sapporo and Hokadate, the day was ard 10-11degrees and nite time, it was 7-9..Tokyo was a little better, at 11-12..Think will go there during summer next time..orelse we will look like we are wearing the same clothes in all our photos...Poor B..cant take the cold and he developed a cough there.Til now, still not healed. Poor me, have disturbed sleep cos once he coughed, i will wake up oso.=(






Hokadate is a very nice place..loved it there..Its a small romantic town that boasts that they rank the 3rd in night view. I second that...We braved the cold, to take the ropeway to Mt Hokadate at sunset to view the marvelous, magnificient and gorgeous view..our trick to stand the cold was to go out for a few mins, hurry take some pics, run in to warm ourselves, then go out again. Ha! we look like running chickens..Unfortunately, there were little shops and they close ard 8pm..No wonder B was bored..he cant shop!haha..( he's a better shopper than me, for those who are unaware).The streets are quite eerie at nite..maybe we watched too much horror jap shows.Ha..Hakodate was a stop-over to Hokkaido..so that we will not be so shag from the journey..but the journey back..haiz..i can fly plane frm sing to tokyo and another half trip! seat til my backside pain!






Sapporo oso nuttin much..only went to buy my blue label there.hee..Shops oso close at 8pm.poor B, can see that he was quite disappointed.hee..Went to Otaru, a half hr train ride...another small town where its famous for their musical boxes. Bought one for myself, mum, MIL, SILs and B's cousin.They are lovely, exquisite and of cos exp..HA..B and me had a romantic walk there..braving the cold..hee.






Dun wana talk much abt the journey back...its agonising..from morn to nite..chnged trains thrice..kaoz..glad to be back at Tokyo..Planned to go disneyland the next day, but it rained...So many days nv rain, the day i wanted to go disneyland rain..Was sulking the whole morning...no choice..tml loh..Why? God..Why?? Went to Shibuya instead..Woot..109 la mei is really la loh..i had fun shopping.every level is choked full of gals stuff and they are all so pretty! B had fun too..watching the gals.hmph..no wonder he say nm, he wait at the escalator at every level for mi to shop..Bought a dress and a skirt there at reasonable price. Saw the famous hachiko statue. Its a statue of a dog..that waits patiently at the station for his master to return home. Even when the master dies, it still continue to do the same. So the statue was erected to commorate the dog. Shibuya is a nice place to shop with low prices and interestin stuff.Too bad i didnt spend enuff time there..Too cold due to the rain.Thumbs up!






The next day, the first thing i did was to draw the curtain..Sunshine! Woke B up and hurry him to get dressed. Its disneyland time! I was scared that the tickets are sold out cos thats wat happen to B's fren the other time.By the time we got there, there are a lot of ppl..a common sight in japan. As though they no need to wrk lydat. Everywhere u go is ppl, ppl and more ppl..The ticket lady told us a bad news...disneyland will close at 6pm cos of a special event.blearh,..but a few steps into the park, we were handed a ticket..to compensate the early closure, we can go disneysea frm 3pm onwards for 1000yen ($14) and it closes at 10pm!!of cos must go la..I was shocked..God is good! cos i really wanted to go disneysea, but i oso wanted to go back disneyland..but cant visit both cos too exp..B will kill mi..The parks were not as packed as last time. Managed to seat more rides and surprisingly .....i didnt buy a lot of things there...i oso duno why..maybe b gave this look when i hold an item for more than 10secs?ha...Disneysea was v cold and i was shivering while watching the shows...B won for me a pair of chip and dale at the aladdin game stall..They are big! and adorable of cos..hee..only wonder how to lug it back.Ha...




Best places to shop there are Harajuku and Shibuya.Went to Harajuku on a sunday where the some peeps dress in cosplay and gather there.It was super crowded that day..and B took quite a number of the peeps there..aniwae, prices there are reasonable..=)




Enjoyed this trip v much cos get to travel to a lot of places, unlike the other time.Will def go back there free and easy again..but maybe not so soon..wana plan travel out of asia le..=)













Cant wait to shop! Its a gd place to wear my new boots that B bought for me! and they are unexpectedly comfy!hee...




So happy to see snow in my life!hee..v dirty though~left over snow in Hokkaido
