i'm here!!

i've reached japan after my 2 nights worth of drinking in kl. Somehow but unsurprisingly i didnt cry at the airport. i'm just not that sorta person. We boarded a Boeing-777-200. Nice plane and pretty decent food. I like the touch of them actually serving japanese food like soba. A nice touch really. After flying 6 hours we landed at tokyo narita . I would think that they're more efficient than KLIA. We got our bags quickly and everything. What i really liked about the airport though is the parcel services that they provide. This means they'll send your luggage to anyway in japan for a fee. Now i know you're gonna think it's pricey but it's almost dirt cheap. For my 1 piece luggage to my college it was 1600 yen. convert that and you'll definitely be amazed.(It reached my college the next day by the way.)

the bus travel was tedious though. i'm just not used to buses driving so slow. Those in malaysia would be speeding on an empty road!We reached Toko Hotel in a smaller district of tokyo at about 9pm. The room was pretty small but they made up with exemplary services like pyjamas , nice toilet and a dish washer? Near the hotel, they had sakuras blooming!! aint the park with sakuras everywhere but it was nice.Then we went to a pachinko place! No, we didn't play but curiousity got the better of us. The next thing i was amazed and pretty happy about was 24 hrs game shops!i got my ouendan that i've been longing for a year! We did all this plus drink Kirin beer that night!:P

next morning,we had to wake up early.real early.after breakfast we proceeded to the train station and to off in different ways. i was with khalid and nizam and took a bullet train to nagoya. the ride was awesome. definitely a must do thing. i then interchanged at nagoya and as a first timer it:s pretty daunting. finally reached my kousen at 1025am
