Japan Trip - the 4th Day (15-02-2010)


It was snowing when we went to Mt.Fuji, we were only allowed to enter to the 1st station.


Due to the weather, snow and mist covered the view. we couldn't see Mt. Fuji, but I  liked the snow view, this was my first time to see snowing. The whole area was covered by snow.

I had fun playing snowball with my friend and family.

a short video - snowing

*******************************************************

After leaving Fuji-Hakone, we visited to Peace Park, the tour guide said the best season to visit Japan is April, because there will be Sakura trees all along the street.

This park also has big binoculars which allow us to have a better view of  Mt. Fuji. 

The vending machine is easy to find anywhere in Japan, it was so convenient for all of us. I think Japanese like to drink coffee, because the vending machine has a lot of coffee choices.

We bought this ice-cream from the vending machine, it was green tea flavour covered by wafer, It was very nice!

Lake Ashi Cruise - We had a 15 minutes ride to Owakudani Volcano Valley.

The red gate is called  "Torii Gate". There was a strong sulphur smell in this area. Even there was a heavy rain when we arrived at the volcanic valley, my parents still brought me to enter to the top yellow house, so good to me. It was a factory to make the famous black shelled eggs 黑玉子. The heat of the hot spring here was 80 °C to 100°C .

The eggs after-effect in the hot spring will get a black shell, but the egg white and egg yolk are same as a normal egg, the taste is also the same as a normal boiled egg.

*************************************************************

After that, we took 3 hours to proceeded to Kyoto. On the way, the bus stopped at a rest station for a few minutes. At the rest station there were many souvenir shops. 


Their packings are very nice, we bought a lot of souvenir too.

    the boiled egg is rather interesting. did you try onsen (hot spring) egg - it is when they cook eggs in hot springs.

    japanese also like the take great care into wrapped goods. i find it that they must wrap food in multiple layers.

Modelling Clay Angry Birds

Image
Angry Birds is the most addictive game around recently. Now that my trial exam is over, I can have a short break and continue blogging. During the  days of examination, I do some revision during the night and head off to bed early. When I find some time in between the times I do revision, I quickly head off to my room and work out my project. According to the game, these 3 birds are the first 3 avian missiles in the group. As I am saving up clay for further "projects", I only made the small ones fingernail-size. It might look easy but for me the smaller I make it, the more challenging it is to create one. It also consumes a lot of time to make the smaller three. You see, some accident occurred and the yellow bird  eyebrows just didn't look that nice anymore. I am very upset that the yellow bird didn't look like just the way I wanted it. The black bird was rather an easy task because it wasn't too small but the main problem was its crest and beak. For the white b...

Beijing Summer Camp 2012

Image
This year’s Beijing Summer Camp held on the 17 th ~26 th of July in the Beijing Foreign Studies University (BFSU) was the greatest camp I’ve ever been to. When we arrived in the BFSU, it was already midnight so we just checked into our rooms but I was so excited that I didn’t get tired and decided to stay up for a little while longer.  Without noticing that the sun rises earlier in the summer, I stayed up until I thought morning had already begun. Some of my friends woke up too and we were totally restless so we decided to have a walk around the school. As soon as we got out of our dorms, we saw plenty of beautiful places like the canteen, the hall and even the field but there was no one else around as the others were still sleeping while some other campers had still not arrived at the BFSU yet. Well, everyday day was better than the last and I am speechless about this amazing camp.             This camp really taught...

Caving Exploration - Tempurung Cave

Image
28 November 2010     I woke up early this morning deciding to explore Tempurung Cave together with Aunty Ebbie's family and friends alongside with Le Chi's family. There was a total of 23 people in our group. We took about two and a half hours drive there as it was a long way away from our homes. We arrived at Tempurung Cave (located at  Perak, Land Of Grace) at nine thirty in the morning.  The entrance fee for the Grand Tour was  RM 22 per adult and RM11 per child. When we arrived we took a look at the map and  it looked  something like this ........ The Grand Tour(Package 4) had four compartments and our tour took three and a half hours and we saw lots of cave formations that  we shouldn't miss but we didn't get to capture many pictures about them as our  tour guide was a bit too fast.  First, we are told to walk on the platform and stairs  to explore the cave's first compartment. This compartment is filled with l...
