Japan Trip June 2013 Part 1


It was my first time going Japan and this trip is really wonderful. I was away for a week and i was in Tokyo for around 5 days or so. Love Tokyo!

Started by sitting my 9.30pm flight for 7 hours.

finally arrived at japan and went to have some japan! The weather is like so awesome. Feel kinda bad as Singapore are suffering from haze and i'm here enjoying the bright sun in air-con like temperature.

i find these machines very cool! The blue ones means it's cold, and the red ones means it is hot. And it is in a proper cup, not a can drink. 

Taste super nice!


JAPAN FACTS
This is taken at the rural side. If you realised, it is so clean, and there are no rubbish bins anywhere. If you litter, police will not catch but embarrass you. That's how things work there!

They take their recycling very serious too. On different days, they would recycle different things.

What do they do with their left over foods? They wash them, dry them and put in a plastic bag before throwing to prevent germs and keep clean. This give me a shock.

a japanese wedding going on!


this is a pillar outside a temple. On new year, people tend to rush to temple to be the first one to pray and wish. 

JAPAN FACT
They do not pray like how Singaporeans do, they throw a coin, clap their hands twice and pray. They claim it is to wake up God. Hence, because of the overwhelming people at 12 midnight on every 31 December, they put a barrier. People will throw coins trying to hit the temple or get it into the temple. Logic, the heavier the coin is, the further it can go. Hence people throw LOTS OF MONEY. The pillar have some of the coin impressions. CAN U IMAGINE HOW HARD THE PEOPLE THREW? With that being said, you can imagine if someone threw it too low or inaccurately hard and land at the back of someone's head.. Yea there were many accidents yearly because of this. 




Kay this is the end of my post for now. Wait for the Japan Trip Part 2 coming up tomorrow! Thanks for reading muahh.
