Japan

I can’t recall the places I’ve visited in Japan. The names of the places are jus so unfamiliar. The trip to Japan was all good. And I finally get a chance to experience snow. I’m grateful that it was a short experience or there will be too many delays in the journey. It can really be a hassle and it makes travelling on the road more difficult and dangerous. Basically, the trip there was enriching… beautiful weather, people, landscape, architecture etc. but of cuz all these depends on the location and the population too… so these factors are not well distributed throughout the country.

Let’s talk about the people. All these sources are from my tour guide so I’m jus typing wad he said. Maybe, u can take note of these when u are in Japan.

• it’s not respectful for jap girls to leave the house without makeup. So all jap girls wear makeup. Even students… I noticed. The least they have is mascara… (dunno how to spell)
  
• In the past.. japs were described as “Everyday” (eh-bui-deh in hokkien: short and fat) but not anymore. The new japs are tall and slim.
  diet is kinda “in” in japans and there are very little fat people in japan compared to America. But many died becuz of taking medicine made in china.
  
• for some reasons, they detest Koreans. Haha… my tour guide said if we did anything wrong and were asked of our nationality, “jus say that u are from korea” (no offense) and they are also very cautious when dealing with the chinese from china.
  
• although they refuse to admit, their first emperor was from china during the qing dynasty when that guy was suppose to bring the pill for longevity for qing shi wang together with 500 men and women. Instead, he came and introduced many reforms which saved the people from famine and poverty. Thus, he was known to be a hero and eventually their “emperor”.
  
• when qing shi wang sent army over to catch the guy back, he pretended to be dead and asked the villages to hang some things which I forgot as a sign to respect the passing of a very honourable man. So the guards reported his death to qing shi wang. The people did not know the actual reason for the things which the “king’ asked them to hang. All they know was that the army came and when they saw wad they hanged, they left. So, it became wad they thought that could ward off the evil and these things can be found in the temples.
  
• they also refuse to admit that there's natives in japan cuz if they do, they have to pay them a huge sum of $$ for the use of their land.

Enuff said, I cant stand my poor English. Shall use pictures now. Haha…

free green tea. not that fantastic but perfect for a snowing day. some of the machines actually show the process of how the drink is made. cool right. and i have yet to see any drink vendors and the tour guide also mentioned that all drinks are sold by these dummies.

side tracking from the scenery... i was quite fascinated when i first saw this.
