OHIYO GOZAIMAS

on Thursday, February 28, 2008

If you had noticed, I had not updated the BLog for quite some time in February. Well, I was busy preparing for the Study Meeting in Tokyo. My first ever work related trip upon joining this "wonderful organisation".

It was a 4 day meeting but I was there from Monday to Saturday. So, basically a week without seeing MiaMia.

Managed to go around - well few places such as:

SHINJUKU


Simply a place where you can get foreign made goods. I went there on my first night out( which was my third night there to look for a Camera - but silly me, fickle minded, i end up not getting any camera there in Shinjuku.

GINZA

Many many many PRETTY GIRLS/LADIES with big hair. Of course I almost asked the person next to me why there were so many pretty ladies with big hair and wearing make-up ..etc... I later found out that they were the modern day GEISHAs...

UENO-OKACHIMACHI




Pasar Malam like. It's a street with all sorts of things, especially my favourite SALMON. I felt like buying the fish and makan tepi jalan. Of course it would simply look stupid. I did managed to eat...sotong balls ... as pictured above. That was simply yummy.

ASAKUSA

One of the oldest temple in Japan. Went there, admire the building but I didn't go in due to time constraint. Oh I took pictures of these Japanese. They do dress up funny but its FASHION. Like Big Daddy always say. So, now you know where Big Daddy gets his "style" from!!!



These are the wonderful people I met and got to know during the study meeting. Vanniya and Ake from Thailand. Picture taken after site visit in Raponggi (I think).
So, here I am. My one and only picture of myself.

Things are rather expensive in Japan. Hardly bought anything. If you work had to work in Japan, the stress comes not from work but from having to keep up with other Japanese ladies who are constantly dressed up for all occasions!!

p.s writer apologizes for not being able to get everybody something from the trip.but from next trip (which is writer's personal trip)
