At Rachel's house

Woke up pretty early while Princess Rachel was still in Lala land... Kanazawa really lives up to its name.. this place is very beautiful.. the colours are so vivid and it's actually known as a smaller version of Kyoto.

We went to Upper Noto yesterday with a tour bus... errr... all old folks except for us 2 genki "xiao huo zi" and it's the 1st time I joined a tour group like this in Japan. Hmmm.. it was quite all right though personally, I think it would have been much better if we had a car or could explore the whole entire place by ourselves.

Write again cos i am going to Mister Donuts soon!




















Good Morning!!! Well, this is a continuation after 2 long days! I am back in Kobe, Motomachi, Yamate, in my humble dormitory room and this morning is beautiful, the sky a little downcast though... I slept really well thru the night prolly of the long bus ride i took back to Osaka... sit until leg n neck cramp that kind... but still in a way, i do enjoy taking the highway buses becos during the bus ride, there's pretty much nothing to do except to read, listen to music or sermon, pray and think about life... n hurhur of cos snack along the way.

Well, highway buses are the cheapest option to travel long distance here though of course they are certainly the slowest and many people do prefer taking the shinkansen or a flight. Not for me though.. hmmm, i kinda like the feeling of settling myself down by a window seat, looking at the scenery (if it's a day bus)... study jap along the way... or if it's a night bus, then i will catch some sleep n wake up during the various snack-cum-toilet breaks in between and when i open my eyes, i would have reached my destination. Save on accommodation too! It's really very nice to me and some people say I am crazy?! Hahahhahahaha.

Ok, i dunno why i write about highway buses... but here's how they look like, picts courtesy off the various bus companies' websites. :)





Depending on the amount u pay, u get to sit on the different classes of buses. The most "high-class" ones come even with multimedia entertainment! Most will have slippers, blankets and some companies, head rest pillows and also coffee and tea. :) Not too bad yah!

Ok, i go eat breakfast now n continue later! Today's menu - Peanut cheese toast washed down with a mug of hot, aromatic Blendy coffee latte...
