My trip in Japan

Am in Japan this week....a visit which i dragged on for months until now because i was not looking forward to the trip... i found that whenever you have low expectation, that whatever always turns out to be better than expected~ it's the case for me in this case :)

This time in Japan, there was no earthquake and typhoon like last time...this time, all i had was rain, rain, rain...hehehe. My trip was a bit different than last time where i would just be in tokyo...but this time, i went to another prefecture instead..something like another state if i need to talk malaysian. hehehe...it's called Shizuoka (静岗）. didnt know what it looked like before i came, didnt bother to do research..hehehe..just knew it's 1.5 hours of shinkansen away from tokyo and where you could see Mt Fuji if you are lucky...the thing is, because we have two factories there, so my impression is, it must be industrial~

well, i was WRONG~~~ the moment we touched down the airport, on the way from airport to Shizuoka city, i was fascinated by it...it looks like the country side we always saw on TV...it is greener and more spacious...people here live in houses instead of tall apartments..and they are not side by side..some houses are surrounded by rice paddy fields. they are....beauutiful~~ gosh, i love it so much. I just learned from my colleagues that Shizuoka has the best seafood..of coz we didnt miss out on this. we had abalone sashimi! yum yum..

yesterday, we took a 3 hour ride from Shizuoka to Tokyo and i'd have to say, i have done a mini tour around Japan~~ Shizuoka is closed to mt Fuji, i was told the tap water comes from there...yes, they are fresh and ICY cold~ love it in hot summer days like this :)) when we passed by a town yesterday, we actually saw a lot of people stopped by to fill tap water...my colleagues told me because that is natural spring water from Mt Fuji and it's cold.

i think Japan has done a good planning. see, in China, there are also many nice places..but they are mostly ruined..but in Japan, they maintain nature so well and make things available and easy for people. this is what i like...yesterday, we went to another town full of tea trees~ i was told...again that kakegawa is famous for tea..i will sure look out for it. the scenery was breath-taking. the place was surrounded by green beautiful mountains...as it was raining yesterday, there was haze around....unfortunately, i didnt see mt Fuji...i'm not faded to see it..for the past 2 times, 3 times including this trip, i never see mt Fuji...MT fuji, where are u~~~???

sorry my friends, i didnt take picture this time..felt embarrassed to take pics. hehehe...but i am still nice coz i extracted some pics on the net...hehehe..use ur imagination oh
