At last, the first part of our Japan trip's photos is out.
All the 123 photos are ONLY for Tokyo & Kyoto.
And it is only SELECTED photos.
16GB... That's how trigger happy wilk can be.
Sigh... Man!
But at least, they were nice photos... even if there were occasions he nearly lost track of me because he lingered so far behind trying to snap a shot at every things he see. *heh heh*
Anyway... more to come later!
I want to change the template for my long-neglected blog.
Just to freshen it up a little, especially since the alighment also abit koyak.
But then i am seized by an overbearing sense of... lethargy.
That pretty sums up my life these days actually.
After 15 days in Japan and that's the amount of photos we have.
All of 16GB...
Good lord..
Makes me wonder how we are ever gonna finish sorting them through.
Japan was great though we had a couple of pretty 'harassed' moments initially as we hardly had time to prepare ourselves for the trip. Basically we worked right till the last minute and rushed home to pack before going to the airport after work.
The places we visited was memorable though the walking was pretty tiring. Shopping was great but terribly expensive, especially in tokyo. Food was quite affordable and hotels were not too bad though rooms in tokyo are pretty small. And most surprising was Japanese people spoke more english than we had anticipated, even if they didn't, you could always get an "eigo-menyu" (English menu).
Anyway, here's the itinerary...
Day 1 : tokyo - Ueno koen & asakusa

Day 7: Nara Koen - Todaiji, daibutsu-den, Kasuga Taisha
Day 8: Nara/Ise - Day trip to Ise Jingu

Day 12: Himeji/Tokyo - Central Tokyo,

Wish the photos are sorted and up... Makes it easier to write about them.
Oh well.. it was fun though and the trip back we upgraded our SQ tickets to business class and it was worth it, seeing how tired we were at the end of the trip.
Well, let's see how the photos turn out then.
