Japan Trip - 3rd Day (14-02-2010)


 I saw the Japanese fabric woven dolls at the hotel lobby, I think it should be a Japanese traditional handicraft

They use fabric to sew dolls, balls and flowers and join them with a string, it looks so fashionable.

We were having our breakfast buffet at the hotel, there were a lot of choice, I prefer western food like sausages, bacons.....and I also tried Japanese Miso Soup.

My mum took the Japanese traditional food. The food in the small can is called "Natto".

The tour guide told us "Natto" is a famous food in Japan. After mixing the oil and sauce in the Natto, it became sticky the taste is peculiar, it is good for our body immune system, my mum said it was tasty.

Tokyo City Tour
We visited the Imperial Palace which is surrounded by high stone walls. We didn't manage to go to the palace because it is only open on Japanese New Year (1st of January).
We saw samurai statue at the entrance. The area is surrounded by a lot of enormous bonsai trees. 
There is no grass or cement at the sidewalk to the palace, instead there are a lot of  pebbles. 

At the afternoon, we visited to Asakusa Kannon Temple. 
Near the temple,  there is a street called Nakamise Avenue which is selling a variety of sourvenirs.At the end of the street,  there is a big red lantern "Thunder Gate" which is also a famous landmark in this area.

We had a Japanese Lunch Set at a restaurant near the "Thunder Gate"


Toyota City Showcase displays a lot of latest Toyota cars models

Ginza (Tokyo), the most exclusive and famous shopping area in Japan

We proceeded to Fuji Hakone onsen hotel, we were having buffet dinner at the resort, there was an optional top up meal,  Long-Legged crab3000yen per adult, 1/2price for children, Sashimi 4000yen per small boat. We ordered the Long -Legged Crab (Hokkaido Crab). It was so delicious!!


We were wearing Yukata, because after dinner we had a  public bath at the hotspring,
Male and Female were separated, we couldn't take photo because everyone was naked. It was a very special experience for me.

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 me a lot. I’ve had never experienced C

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 lights and this is the easiest compartment. Most o
