Didn't sleep well again, felt so hot in the night, becoming Panda Woman soon. LOL.
Had a really sumptuous breakfast, my happiest moment each day, then we head to Asakusa Kannon Buddhist Temple, exactly like what I watched in "Yokoso Japan Series" in Happy Sunday hosted by S.H.E, Ha... The thought of the possibility that they have used the things that I am using like so happy. =D -Dumb-
*Step 1 to Pray: Cleanse first before entering the emple to pray, wash hands by scooping the water from the fountain, then take a sip of water by pouring the water into the hand.*
*Step 2: Go to the urn and get some "lucky smoke"幸運煙.*But hor, the fortune telling thingy, I got a really bad lot,
"Fire burn from the ground to high up the skies,
The problems from the past and the present will haunt you."
The rest of the lot I can't remember, but it was really bad. -Sigh- I just flow with the custom, to tie the lot on the bars in the temple which symbolises that the bad one won't bring home and let it go with the wind, which I really hope so.
A lot of things to see along the 表參道, bought a 籤筒 and something which my friend asked me to help her to get -Happy-, didn't really have much time to go into each shop, sigh, that's the thing about tour group. Moved on to Tokyo Tower and we got this 新奇、刺激、好玩stuff for our poor KK who is left behind in Singapore to struggle at work. Heh, see how kind of friends we are. LOL.
*Trying to act like as if I am really artistic, as always la.*Anyway that's it for Tokyo and we make a move to Yokohama. Was so looking forward to go to Raumen Museum and try out the 逢初麵 introduced by Selina and Hebe in the Yokoso Japan Series in year 2000, but too bad, I think the shop is no longer inside there, so went to try the raumen at another random picked store instead. OMG, the soup is SUPER THICK!
The noodles is slimmer than the one we usually have in Singapore and they come with a side dish and a sushi (Makerel---Raw somemore, ERK!) MS said that I should try but even PS exclaimed that it has very strong fish smell, well, if u must compare between "being rude for not finishing up the food" and "being rude for puking after biting their food I think the earlier is better, as it may indicate that you are full and not because the food is not nice. Nah! No way I will try, so sorry to the owner, it's not your food that is not nice, the problem lies in me. After lunch, we went to this red bricks warehouse
which is some what like Clarke Quay in Singapore whereby it used to be some storage place. And we spotted this dog! Super cute! It keep shaking it's tail at us! But the friend was not too friendly, the moment we stopped and was looking at this dog the friend would bark so loud till everyone in the park just turn and look at us! (="=)
I just wonder in Japanese's eyes, does China means Panda; there is A LOT of Panda products in ALMOST ALL the store in Chinatown .
Went to "關帝廟" to pray then we went to this 三下公園 which is a reclaimed land using the bricks and debris from Tokyo earthquake which I think it took place like 300years ago.
fter that it's a 2 hour journey to our hotel tonight and the point of 感動 today--- Mt. Fuji! The feelings can't be described until you see it in front of your eyes. In a year out of 360days only 120 days the mountain top is visible and we are LUCKY! It is so great that each day there is something to be touched about, to feel that Life is Simply Great! 感恩感恩再感恩！
Mt Fuji.
Lavenda fields next to lake Saiko.
溫泉, hot spring... -Shy- But it's really very very very comfortable! Think everyone should try and it really makes you feel that your skin has never been so smooth before! Had 懷石料理 for dinner, a traditional type of Japanese Cuisine which is characterised by "killing the person who is to wash the dishes" according to Winnie. Why? Take a look and you will know.
Imagine all these plates are just for one person's use and there are like 34 of us? How many plates they have to wash!? I really sympathize the person who has to do it.
Anyway, we went for a walk after dinner because Winnie, our super tour guide said that we have to rest for like 1 hour after meal prior to soaking in hot spring. And we went to this Hot Spring Hotel opposite our hotel and we ran into this 好心的怪伯伯 (Kind-hearted weird uncle) who actually moved away the vehicle for us to take pictures and offered to help us,
BUT...

抓錯重點了！ (He got the wrong focus!)
Look!
Before
After signing for what we wanted...
LOL. Kinda remind us of the man we ran into in Ocean Park last year when we want to take a picture of the sea horse which is why we stand in front of the mountain in Ocean Park but he only took the picture of the person. This 怪伯伯 also cut the board when we purposely stand in front of the board just to take a picture with it. LOL.Urgh!
I think I am falling in love with this place, I can understand why Mr Lee said about Japanese Toilet, Compare their resting point toilet to the one in Malaysia -OMG- And this place is full of this!
My favourite! And it is seen EVERYWHERE!
PS was telling me that people cannot send me my favourite flowers, which kinda reminds me of what my brother said before, one day he suddenly asked me which is my favourite flowers, I told him White Daisy, and he just goes silent. Only after a while then he asked again, "is there any alternatives?"
I told him no.
Then he just exclaimed, "Haiz, I can't even sell your information to someone in future... At least let me earn something, really no alternatives?"
Favourite=the type that you like the most; meaning one and only answer.
If you must ask me why, well, somehow looking at this flower it just makes you feel very "clean". Pure is not the word, but "clean", which is why I just like it.
Ha...
Sleeping on Tatami tonight, but hor, so Ma-lu! Why? I made the beds because the hotel can't afford to help us to do it and guess what?
Look, it was done so nicely!
*See my "strawberry fairy"? I brought it to Japan and it is very useful. =P*
Who knows when I wanted to pull the blanket to cover, only to find out that the harder one that I laid on the floor is actually the blanket! And the softer piece is supposed to be the bed! -Sigh- There MS is helping me to redo the whole thing again.
By the way, PS said that the back that I tied, the bow that I have done for MS is very nice, so I did it for her. =) But seems that can't really see it clearly...
