Early in the morning, everyone in the tour group bundled themselves up in their jackets (The locals call it summer but we call it winter) and left our cozy warm hotel. I remember the moment when all of us stepped out of the airport on the 1st day and were greeted by an icy strong wind, that moment was truly unbearable and surprisingly refreshing for me because we Singaporeans who live right down below at the equator do not experience that in our climate at all. Everybody had a common reaction... we 'woah-ed'. And the funny thing is, we were wearing our summer outfits. Well, some of us...
So as soon as we stepped out of the hotel entrance this time, we were more than ready to brave the weather, jackets CHECK, long jeans CHECK, covered shoes and warm dry socks HELL YEAH!
The Wheels on the...
As soon as everybody has boarded the bus, off we went. Luckily, i had a window view this time around. My friend, Shu Yun and i agreed to switch positions everytime we took the chartered bus. So both of us would have a chance to sit next to the window and take photos of our own.
Our tour guide, Mr Tammy San, started making conversations and told us a lot of things we needed to know about Japan. One interesting fact mentioned was that it is very rare to find a plus sized person walking around, that most Japanese are slim or lean. I guess it may be due to the fact that the locals eat lots of fish or seafood. i don't know :)
