9 more hours

Just 9 more hours until the perfect experience in Japan!!!
No more high pitched whining... no more avoiding butt cracks when getting my textbooks... no more dirty grudge looks... no more door slamming...

Peace is finally coming to Kumagaya!!! YAY!!!

The year of the OX

I'm so excited for the weekend because it's CHINESE NEW YEAR!!!

I'll be heading out to Yokohama, largest Chinatown in Japan, on Monday to celebrate! I can't wait for all-you-can-eat dim sum, 8-course chinese-style dinner, lion dancing, fire crackers, street dancing and whatever Yokohama will have to offer!

Hopefully I'll get off my lazy butt to post pictures up! I'm still working on the HK pictures... sorry dudes & dudettes

Sorry for the delay of this post. My body is still recovering from my trip to HK, hence random hours of passing out. My body is not made for traveling. :( ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maid cafe in Akihabara

Since there's a "no picture" policy at the Maid Cafes, I wasn't able to take any pictures of my experience. But I suppose it was an interesting experience. The server (maid) kneeled when she served the drinks. Then, I had to do this "magic" chant with her to make my drink sweeter before I was allowed to drink it -- mo-e, mo-e, kyun! <3>

Roppongi Hills

Only in Japan would you find such an area in the middle of the city. Absolutely serene.

Tiffany & Co. - The Men's Store, only a few in the WORLD, and one of them is in Japan ^_^

Tokyo Disneyland ^_^


I think pictures speak for itself for this experience. I know how lazy some of you people are when it comes to READING! hahaha...

"It's a small world" ride... still the coolest ride ever

Hong Kong

This was my first time EVER in Hong Kong and I felt like I was in a TVB series lol All those red taxis, HK diners, and PEOPLE!!!! There's just too many people in this city, and they all move too fast! So sadly to say, I'm too slow for this fast pace society. I eat too slowly, I walk too slowly, I make decisions too slowly... :( I guess I can cross out ever working in Hong Kong! hehe...

I'd love to write more about my experience in HK, but I'll take my lazy way out and being my point forms :D

• I love the fact that there's a Hui Lau Shan (Dessert shop) at every corner! It's like Starbucks in New York City. - I didn't eat there nearly enough times... how I crave for some mango sweet dumplings... mMmmmm...
  
• I got to eat a REAL soup dumpling at dim sum! :D
  
• Curry fish balls in HK are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too spicy for me
  
• Fast food restaurants are way cooler than the ones in Toronto
• Taro/Chocolate gai daan jai is nothing compared to the original taste ~ but it was nice to be able to taste the other flavours
  
• I had Haagen Daaz fondue and it was D------------------elicious!!!
• I found a Modern Toilet restaurant in Mong Kok, so I don't have to go to Taiwan to check out this restaurant... it was FANNNNNNNNNNNNNTASTIC~! haha..
  
• I love the food! I love the food! I love the food!!!
• I love the panda's at Ocean Park :D
  
• lStanley Market is beautiful
• I LOVE THE FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!

Pictures to come.... :D

Final update

The chapter of my co-worker ENDS! She has resigned and will be gone by the end of the month!

All shopped out ^_^

Happy 2009!!!!

Hong Kong was an interesting experience. Loved the food, hated the service. Loved the shopping, hated the crowd.

Be patient and I'll upload my pictures soon. ^_^

Here's a teaser of what I ate in HK! hahaha...
