Koyo 2008 Ikaho and Nagano

In 2008, my family travelled to Japan and visited 2 popular onsens (Ikaho and Asama) but the highlight of the trip is Mt Haruna, Kamikochi and Jigokudani Yaenkoen (Snow Monkey Park) in Nagano.

Autunm 2007, Japan

Autumn in Japan is very captivating and we leave for holiday to Japan again. This trip, our main itinerary is Kyoto/Osaka but ended up major in Takayama, Hida Folk Village and Arasiyama area. This is the benefit of F&E holiday, oh yeah! Thanks Dad & Mum. I love you.

It's overload...

Ha! Ha! Mum needs an extra luggage so we are getting one before our departure in the afternoon. Check out time is 11am and waiting for the shop to open at 10am, so we take some photos in the meantime...

DisneySea

I enjoyed Disneysea a lot more cos I go for more rides as compare to my trip last year to Disneyland Tokyo. I took 8 rides within 10 hrs of fun. Sadly, some of the rides like "Journey to the Center of the Earth" and "Indiana Jones Adventure" has height restriction, so I can't go for it but the park attendant reward me with stickers instead. I am not disheartened and very sure I will be back...next year...Right, Mum?

outside mermaid lagoon

Mickey San! Here I come! outside mermaid lagoon...
Waiting for my turn...favourite and long awaiting ride of the day! Flounder's flying fish coaster. Don't really need to queue for too long and get to ride 2x! Great!
in Arabian Coast...
grab our lunch at Casbah Food Court to avoid the crowd! My favourite lunch of the day---Tori Curry with Rice and Naan, cost 710Yen it's yummy and filling too! I need more carbo today.

in Arabian Coast

This is a new ride, similar to "It's a small world", setting sail for adventure with Sindbad! Follow the "compass of your heart" to find the greatest treasure.

abroad this two level caravan carousel...with camels, majestic elephants, griffins and the Genie! NICE!

Water cooler makes me very thirsty...

more photo taking...

We "play cheat" in this photo becos by right, everyone is queuing to have their photo taken but a family wanted to have photo taken by the "professional photographer" so every one have to wait until they have all their shots taken and also they are trying to take a shot for their infant girl...very time comsuming as you know infant will NOT react very well with camera. Enough of waiting, Mum asked me to "stand" infront of Mickey&Mini San and Voila! I have my photo taken while the PRO is still discussing with that family about the shot...ha! ha! I guessed every one just follow my way so that we can move on to our next attraction. Time is ticking away, you know!



Just quote "photo please...and photo taken",not much hassle with the others characters except the one with Mickey&Mini...after all, they are the star attraction in the park and everyone is looking forward to have their photo taken.

BIG BAND BEAT

Actually, I don't know what I will be watching...I just ask Mum to follow the queue and surprising, it is another highlight programe of the day. This is a broadway style! We are guided to the theater and Mickey, Minie Mouse, Daisy Duck and the gang will be appearing in this swinging show, it is a Christmas programs or Christmas versions of regular shows and performed to the sounds of a live big band. What a blast! We totally enjoyed the show very much.

Introducing the cute kitten Marie...hope I've got her name right.

The Legend of Mythica

After BBB, we made our way to catch "The Legend of Mythica", it is spetacular! You must watch if you ever go to DisneySea. Mum got most of the program in video, hope I can show you next time.

This is the ONLY FP entry I've got. Anyway, it doesn't matter cos I really have a good time already.
The is the Indiana Jones Adventure "Temple of the Crystal Skull" attraction that I can't take due to height restriction but no problem cos I'll be back...

Snack of the day--> Yucatan Sausage, by the way it's pork, I don't mind as long as it is NOT beef cos Mum said we can't eat beef. But why leh??

Back to Mermaid Lagoon, inside "Triton's Kingdom". It is quite dim inside so most photo turn out not so good but that doesn't "dim my spirit" at all. I had lot of fun at "Blowfish Balloon race" and "Ariel's Playground". I missed the "Whirlpool - swirling, twirling kelp cup", oh! Men!

BraviSEAmo!

This is the last preformance we watched but due to high wind, they only presented us their ultimate version.

Okay! That's all for today...see you next time.

Popcupine = Ouch! That's hurts!

Had toast for breakfast at cafe de crie, ramen for lunch and fried rice with gyoza for dinner. What more can I ask for, I love everything about Tokyo, Japan. I hope to come here for weekend trip, just hoping!

outside our window...

Lovely view from our hotel room!

Yummy breakfast of the day!

I love these lovely red leave and YES! Red is my favourite colour.

our lunch...tatami style

tokyo dome city

It is very difficult to capture these night scene. As Dad is too lazy to bring his tripod, so most photos didn't turn out very well only a few...but the ambience is really romantic and lot of japanese couple enjoy strolling despite low temperature.
