23 December 2005 - 勝浦、和歌山



We reached Katusra around 4pm. Went around the small town.Very quiet! Didnt enjoy the dinner at Izagaya famous forselling tuna dishes. The feeling is different from Choukyu at Shirahama.

1st time for us to stay at Minshiku without hot water tap. Very cold when we go to the detached toilet.. so didn't go toilet at night. Suprising bought 2 new w-inds 2005 singles at half price discount! Reach Minshuku around 7.40pm after dinner. Manage to watch Music Station 4 hr Special! Lucky! Saw News, Shoji and Akira etc.Imanaka san can't stand us juz watching TV and dont want to bath. Poor him got to go out himself and source food for us. 1st time we bath so fast! Less than 10 min. In view of the cold weather and wana watch music station, gota sacrifice our bath....

22 December 2005 - 神戸




Luminarie at Kobe

Clear view to see Fuji san while at shinkansen to Osaka. Saw big snowing when we passed by Nagoya. The scenery is beautiful. When we reached Shin Osaka station, we tried to squeeze onto train. The train was delayed coz of snow and was very crowded. 1st time we experienced packed like sardine. I simply fight with them. Squeeze my big luggage in and rolled onto those people's foots. Haha. Good experience but would never want to try it again.

Met Imanaka san and Mami at Kobe. Proceed to eat the cakes at a cafe. Kobe is famous for cakes and 1st time I have the chance to eat the cakes there. Very enjoying. Paid around S$20 bucks and get those cakes on high class plates, which cost much more in S'pore.

Imanaki san left early and we went to Luminaria - X'mas lightings at Kobe with Mami. I went for it last year, and enjoyed alot. Once we were there, my eyes kept sweeping around. Wow, the guys were really eye-catching. Perina agreed wtih me. Haha. It's fun to watch the lighting with Mami and did guy watching at the same time. Noticed that when the three of us walked on the street, quite a number of guys looked at us. Probably coz the 3 of us were tall, on average around 1.68m.

A funny incident was I saw this nice looking big eyed guy with his gf. I turned back at him at asked him to take pic for us. He was surprised, probably because I was taller than him. His photo taking technique was not that good, and retook for us.

Most of the good looking guys were not too tall.Overall, really enjoyed going to Kobe. Although it was freezing, but I realy like it. Hmm.. not sure if there are other S'poreans like me who will go for Luminarie at least 2 times or more?

sent 9.38am at Osaka, Hotel Kinki

21 December 2005 - 東都 



We reached Narita airport around 7am. Left to boardskyliner around 8plus and when we reached the platform, I immediately spotted Akanishi Jin`s poster for NTT DoCoMo advertisement. Perina was so happy to take a photo with Jin. Expected to see more of this poster in Tokyo andOsaka...

Hang around at Harajuku after we reached Tokyo. Went to Johnny`s shop to source for Tegoshi, Tsubasa etc photos for friends. Well, this time I only bought pic for my frens. Not much impressive pics of Yama P. Then we went a few shops selling idol pics, all for the sourcing for frens. But I managed to see Masha new pics. Wah, must buy 4D already. They seldom sell his new pic. Overall, it is quite interesting to see the products they sell. Finally bought the Kinki Kids and Johnny countdown concert tickets.

Met Miho and Su for dinner at Izagaya at Omori. Quite disappointed that Koizumi san can't join us.. Bought a good winter coat which is nice, cheap. Today experienced shock x 3! 1st Shock is that the concert tickets are so expensive, 2nd shock is that I bought the winter coat for 3000yen. 3rd is I don't have much cash left.. and it is only my first day here..
