Archives for “Japan”
Retna is a big fan of Etsy. Many years ago she shown me the site and I told her, everything nice, except so far and too expensive to ship to our shore. Ever since my first trip to Japan, I learn one thing from Japanese – which is the appreciation for good workmanship, especially when [...]
On the second day of the trip, the tour manager of Apple Holiday informed us about the dos and don’ts in Japan. One of them – remember to rub the wooden chopsticks together as there could be splinter, which might cut our mouths while dining. Guess what. While reading the Going Places, March issue, I [...]
Just to be on the record. I miss Japan. Not the Japanese girls. LOL. Ever since returning from Japan, I feel I am so connected to Japan. Everything related to Japan, news, promotions, fictions, movies, TV programs etc, I just want to read and get to know more about. I almost drag Retna with me [...]
After a really nice and fun holiday in Osaka, Kyoto, Hammatsu, Tokyo, Shinjuku etc in Japan, now we are back to work. Although we managed to get some of the work done while in Japan, but we are now back on full force. A short break away from the country and learning from Japan – [...]
Don’t get me wrong. I am not unveiling what is NSFW blog entry. Also, don’t get so excited, if any of you are, at the moment. Take a deep breath. You are not seeing Samuel Tan in nude. I was thinking what was the fuss when the tour manager mentioned no clothes, not even swimming [...]
Owakudani (大涌谷), a hotspring sightseeing spot in Hakone National Park, which took the bus driver about an hour to turn us in circle, of which we could possibly considered as blessed, as no one in the bus actually made any ‘present’ (a.k.a. from phewing) throughout the journey. It reminds me of the drive heading up [...]
This is our 5th day in Japan. We have been to Osaka, Kyoto, Hammatsu, Mount Fuji, Shinjuku, Tokyo etc. I think it would have kind of difficult to travel to all these places without a tour arrangement, more so since we do not speak Japanese. We came under a tour company called Apple Vacations & [...]
Have read about Apple Store, not just many time, but always. Ok, I confessed that I am a Apple user. Alright, I am devoted to Apple products. Please allow me to clarify that I am devoted to God So, the tour manager informed me that he would bring me to Apple Store while we are [...]
Had it many times in Kuala Lumpur as well as in Petaling Jaya, was recommended by the tour manager to try it as Takoyaki is very popular in Osaka, Japan. For 8 pieces the selling price is 500 Yen. I like the taste of this snack, as it gives you some kind of warm feeling [...]
We are ready, Japan. See you in 8 hours time. God bless Malaysia.
Do you like buns? I do, very much. Maybe because I am from the north Peninsular, my mom used to consume a lot of “Bangali Roti”, I suppose that is why the bread or bun tradition still pretty much runs in the family. Well, good news if you like buns. You will now stand a chance [...]
