close like you used to be

We went to Mt. Fuji on the second day. Our guide, Hitomi-san, told us that since it's summer, the chance to see the top of Mt. Fuji clearly is nearly impossible. However, luck was on our side because the bus suddenly stop on its way to 5th station and Hitomi-san told us to get off bus and take picture because Mt. Fuji can be clearly seen!! How lucky~ I did not have the picture here since I forgot to remove it from dad's MC. After Mt. Fuji, we went to Owakudani through gondola. It's a beautiful place and it has this special egg called "Black Egg". They boiled the eggs inside sulfuric water and it came out black. My dad wanted to see it so me, together with my cousin, went all the way up the the place where the black egg was made and bought ten of them. Next destination is Hakone, actually, we're already in Hakone but we're not exactly right in Hakone. 

with You I wanna Start

My family came to Japan last week. four days never felt so short in my life, wish I could spend more time with them and instead of joining a tour, I want to walk through the city with them, talking about things I missed and they missed while sitting in St Mark Cafe with plates full of chococro and a cup of small sized Ice Chocolate. We went to Tokyo Tower and Meiji Jingu on the first day. How I wanted to snatch them away from the tour group and wind up in Harajuku which is just straight across the street. There're many, or should I say; too many pictures. Maybe you'll get a spam of them in five days ahead, I apologize in advance.

In the heat of summer sunshine

Greetings,

This semester is finally over, my first semester on Japan is officially over. To celebrate, on 4-6th this month, I went to Kyoto and Nara on campus' program. I visited lots of places, correction, lots of temples and bought lots of omamori for my family. It's not like we believe in omamori, but, hey, it's the thought that counts, right? My family will be visiting Japan from today to 18th, I will probably come back with more pictures. By the way, it's very hot here in Japan, the temperature is from 30-37 degree celsius. If any of you is coming to Japan, please do not forget sun hat, sun umbrella, or Sunscreen.

Have a good summer.
