along the way, we saw this pump station, clever design leh...it's overhead so save so much space for the cars to drive in then just pull it down to pump in oil.
the temple doesnt really look tat old though. then haf to drink this water which i forgot wat is it for. hehe but apparently roger din do it the correct way, actually suppose to scoop the water using the ladle then transfer the water to ur palm then drink from the palm, the remaining water in the ladle should be poured away not back into the fountain, aiya but mag also din tell us..i only realised after reading the instructions slowly.
then i tried the qiu qian thing. middle fortune..it's said tat if it isn a good fortune, hang it up and let the wind blow it away, many sch kids were doing it also.
next to it is the nakamise shopping street which is an authentic lane lined with vendors selling souvenirs. dunno why longi likes all those handphone accessories kind of stuff. pretty la but not practical wat..where can u hang it, it'll just be in ur way if u hang it on the hp. but the dolls are kawaii.
next off to palette town with the station called tokyo teleport station...cool name hor..if only it really exists. it's next tokyo bay and comprises the venusfort, which is a high class shopping centre with expensive looking interior design and of cos 5 digit goods.
anyway i'm more interested in wat's next to venusfort, the megaweb! toyota showcase. the F1 racers and motorcars which i learnt abt from the jdrama engine! scholarships were given to young drivers lo..but of cos it's an extrememly high risk sport.
the futuristic models
grp_photo...huge grp rite?and then we were dressed in yukata for a traditional jap dinner.
our_hotel is in front of lake kawaguchiko. super pretty scenery with the reflection in the lake.
at night went to the hot spring, onsen. not an open air one this time.
for the night, we'll stay in the traditional japanese house with tatami mat and slp in futons.
