next we finally went up to mt fuji 5th base station. then the tour guide mentioned abt how symmetrical the dormant volcano is. i din even realise tat it's very symmetrical, u mean other mountains are non-symmetrical? i din think of that. but anyway yea it's still pretty. snow capped mountains always look pretty.
we were real lucky. after shopping in the souvenir shop came out to take some pics and shortly after, it snowed! for abt 1 or 2 min. amazed..timing is super accurate la. haha compared to switz and finland it's really nothing but my bro is super awed by it, reminding me of how excited i was when i first witnessed snow too.
everybody is giving so much attention to mt fuji...we stopped at 3 or 4 places to take pics leh..mt fuji must be so proud of itself or was it herself?
he went to pick up some snow and then kenna frost bite -_-"
next to wasabi farm. wasabi = shan1 kui2 in chinese leh...quite far from it rite? oh but some interesting facts. it starts growing from a huge root, a storage root and it can only grow in places with flowing water.tried the wasabi ice cream...damn strong.. should be yummy if u like wasabi but not for me..there's even minty aftertaste..
isnt this pic nice? i really wonder how they make this pagoda...soooo white! it's the buddha tooth relic pagoda..too bad we cant go in and see. we climbed all the way uphill to see just the exterior -__- sighz
next another uphill, owakudani trail...to see volcanic gases and the water in which eggs after boiling turned black due to sulphur in it. the gases emitted are sulphur dioxide and hydrogen sulphide lo..so poisonous..and it really smells bad la.. think the geysers i saw in taiwan are nicer. the smell is different too.
ok the egg not yummy de...it's super nua..it's like too soft..not q at all..and taste super funny. the egg smell is like super amplified..too eggy le..
next to shinkansen..the bullet train..but the one tat we took is not fast at all...cos my mother got sit be4 dunno how many donkey yrs ago..she also said the one tat she took is like totally cannot see the outside. then later we learnt tat the one tat we took is 200 plus km/hr de...the 2nd one we saw is 330km/hr...sobz why ours so slow..then i also know that the fastest bullet train is 500 plus km/hr in france and even shanghai's is 400 plus lor...the aeroplane run all runway also 200 plus wat..but in air is 900 plus..but then i still want to see the magnetic track...it zen zen doesnt appear magnetic to me.
