Dear blog, (LOL)
On the 10th to 17th November, I went to Japan with my sister for holiday. My first impression of Japanese people --- polite,considerate,helpful and efficient.
Love the friendly society over there where everyone is ready to help.Majority of them can't speak English but that was fine, my self learned japanese was sufficient enough to understand certain words and thank god I can read Kanji (mandarin words) .We always got help from them when problems occurred and they are extremely efficient (no exaggeration there) . We were early for almost everything and every single thing was either on time or earlier.
First off, THE FOOD.
>ramen--check (one word--- YUM! especially slurping ;) )
>okonomiyake--check (so FUN to make)
and there are other random stuff and sweets i ate but idk the name =/ but still TASTY xD
Next would be the accommodations . we stayed at 3 hotels ,1 semi ryokan and one ryokan with onsen xD.
I think my fav would be the semi ryokan, its called kimi ryokan situated at Ikebukuro and damn, that place makes you feel at home. Like the scenes you see in an anime where kids say "TADAIMA" when they reach home (meaning I'm home or I'm back) , I did that >.< , hahahhaha~ feels so nice i tell you. to have someone smile at you when you get home just feels damn good. *the dude at the counter was good looking too ,HAHAHAH~ jkjk * There's a traditional japanese bath at that place :) you know, the ones they show in anime, where theres a bath tub and a few planks on top covering it ;) That.was.awesome. And futon (drool) awesomeness overload weyh. something like the pic.
The ryokan had hot springs :D , and naked old women running around . lol, anyways, its just plain awesome. Yukatas and futon ,gawd... i know what my future life would be like already, wearing yukata at home because I'm too lazy and having a comfy futon.
A quick go through bout what I learned there, I learned about tea ceremonies and other stuff (while my sis went shopping) from a lovely oba-san in an elegant kimono. I learned about the temples, the history and how to pray (theres a certain way to pray xD) from a nice oji-san who gave free tours. I developed some skills on how to walk around japan alone because being with my sis is frustrating. oh, and i talked to people from all over, from belgium, china, america , hongkong, malaysia ,taiwan and etc x) during the trip by myself.(sis went to premium outlet -.- ) mostly friendly people, the american spoke to me in japanese ._. -.- .. which i politely said sumimasen.wakarimasen. I'm chinese. (lol) He was like, so which part of china are you from?
._. .. (my bad,should've told him i'm malaysian ) I'm from malaysia.
o... so what is your main language?
.___. (shyt... i don't even think I have one) I don't have one, My mother tongue is mandarin and I speak english,malay and other dialects of chinese like hokien and cantonese.(such a brag,m i know xD)
whoah ,you are what japanese people call kyushu (idk the exact spelling) it means a mix of culture and (i forgot what he said, i was kinda too cold to pay attention).
Anyways, I think what he meant was what we call it in malaysia la --- "ROJAK"
Had loads of people speaking to me in japanese ._. do i seriously look like I am one of you people .__.
Anyways,I had fun pretending like a local xD found out my family name LIM is HAYASHI in japanese. And I found my family crest too xD awesome right? xP update later bout the oba-san and oji-san's xD
