Departed for Japan from t3!!!! Was really excited to go from there and explore the shops and bask in the architecture. Although I have to say that, t2 is still slightly better in terms of service. On the way back our luggage took a really long time to come out, so long that the captains also came out and waited alongside us, haha...
Was really really really cold there at the foot of Mt Fuji. 2 degrees. Was told we were lucky that we had so much snow though! Well, saw snow for the first time falling throughout the day, I consider myself blessed to experience this natural wonder of God's creation. =) It's just so beautiful, the view outside the window is like a postcard, and there's the Mt Fuji in the background, although the snowfall blanketed the whole atmosphere, we didn't really SEE Mt Fuji. Gives me an excuse to go there again, maybe during sakura season?
The 3rd statue of Liberty, as mentioned in National Treasure 3 movie.
Went to Tokyo after a night at the Lake Kawaguchi tatami style hotel.
Pleasantly surprised to see that it was snowing in the morning from the hotel room window! It seldom snows in Tokyo so the folk there were happy too, playing with the snow and loving it. Made it too cold though, around 4 degrees. The next day was 8 degrees, no snow no rain, which was really pleasant weather, I did like that temperature. So we could explore the city a little better on the last day, all the interesting small shops around the Ikekuburo Station where the hotel - Metropolitan was situated at.
The last sunset at Narita Airport. Boo hoo.
Some Japan buys...
Pink nail polish, the rings - love it, going to wear them all the time... and a tarepanda...The nail polish costs about sg$8, its considered cheap for me as those in cosmetic stores here cost $20plus? heh...
Have too many postcards and lack of photo frames (ikea stopped selling the black frame ones which I like!) so I bought this (right hand side) from a shop called Tokyu Hands, can roam there for hours they sell everything! Yay! now can insert 10 postcards! It's hanging behind my room door now, a nice reminder of the trip.
The most expensive thing I bought... heh. Saw it earlier but waited till the last day of the trip to buy it! Their local brand I think, a nice bisque-colored clutch with the charm... the charm is actually quite expensive but without it the bag looks kind of blah. So had to buy them together. Total cost $70 plus...mmm I do like it very much. Also bought some presents, Sheepy and Kie's birthdays and a uniqlo reversible belt for Zero. And some makeup for Fang and Yibs... Heh.
