Japan Hangover

It is been a while since I last wrote here. I just came out from a hangover from my trip to Japan. It had been heady. There is so much that I want to write about the trip, it is hard to know where to begin.

The food is divine, the people are wonderful, the TV shows are ridiculous, the streets are clean, the shopping is great (no, didn't buy plenty, remember I am not a shoppy shoppy person, especially with my husband, he is a real dampener when it comes to shopping.), the weather is fantastic, albeit that it rained for a couple of days in Tokyo - There was a typhoon! It was called typhoon number 20. I guess there are so many of them in Japan that they have resigned to calling them numbers instead of having the exhausting task of naming all of them. Maybe they just name the big bad ones. Simply put, we had a whole lot of fun.

I will miss Japan, and I would definitely be back again. Somehow, it doesn't seemed like it will take me a long while to head up again. It isn't as expensive as we thought it would be. A great meal for 2 cost about 60 Singapore dollars. That is reasonable don't you think? We did indulge a little on some occasions and had really good beef and tempura. We had really really cheap Udon once in Osaka - like 200 yen - for breakfast. That is how cheap it can get, of course, don't expect to get full on just that. We went across to a cafe to have toast after. Hahahaha.

We went to an onsen too! Twas a cold rainy evening when we went, just perfect for a hot dip. I was a little apprehensive when I went into the changing room. I didn't think that I could be walking around stark naked in front of so many people, but when I see how everyone was going around with much nonchalance, I too begin to lose my inhibitions. And I thoroughly enjoyed the affair. I am now officially a fan of onsens.
I heart Japan.
