korea

stay? are you referring to the hotels? there were 2 nights we slept on tatami (hope i spelled correctly); slept on the floor. then we also had chances to soak the hot spring. but we didnt tried. haha.

we went to some of the sport shops and nothing much. my hb wanted to buy basketball shorts but nothing much leh. deco stuff? erm, didnt really notice. initially, we wanted to go hokkaido but only tokyo has disneyland so eventually we dropped the idea of going to hokkaido. hokkaido should have burberry blue label boutique. if you miss the chance of buying burberry blue label in japan dont worry bcos you also can manage to buy in spore. there's a shop (located @ the arcade) in spore imported burberry blue label goods but slightly expensive lor. i'm not really into burberry blue label therefore i only bought a bag.

my hb and i like their biscuits so much. when you go disneyland and dont forget to buy biscuits too bcos really very delicious. many friends like the pooh biscuits we bought for them (some of them finished all within a few days). we also went to the ramen factory and tried the ramen. we bought 2 packets (inside each packet has 5 small packets) of ramen home. is this your first time to japan? do you speak japanese? if this is your first time to japan then my suggestion is to go with tour. if you can speak japanese then f&e should be no problem bcos most japanese dont speak english. we paid about nearly 5k (2 pax) for the tour package (excluded expenses for the whole tour). recently, there was NATAS at spore expo mah. you should go and take a look.

if you go japan then dont forget to buy their biscuits bcos they're very delicious.

we went disneyland on weekday lor but there were still a lot of people lor. you've to be very lucky on that day in order to take a picture with mt fuji bos you've to wait for the sky to be very cleared then get the chance. if the weather is cloudy then no chance liao bcos the clouds will cover the mt fuji so you cant see liao.

ya, fruits in japan is very expensive. our tour guide told us e cost for a watermelon is d-a-m-n expensive manz. we never try the peaches but some of our tour members had tried. oh ya, for yokoyoko who is thinking of going to disneyland/sea must be prepared that you can never finished the rides over there within a day bcos for a single ride and the Q is very long. sometimes, you may need to Q for 30-45 mins. although they've so called fast pass for entry but the fast pass only starts on certain hours. we never tried the rides at all bcos too busy doing shopping. we were afraid if after playing the rides liao and no time for shopping. we went to Q for 30 mins under hot sun just to take photo with mickey mouse. we didnt know pooh was at the other side taking photos with people too so we missed the chance.

hahaha. my hb also accompanied me to go japan bcos he knew that i always wanted to go disneyland (my favourite is pooh family!). haha. are you first-timer to disneyland? if so, you may want to try disneyland first. then the next time you can go for disneysea. many people advised us to go disneyland first if we never go disneyland before. disneysea isnt as good as disneyland. we bought some home deco from japan too. at disneyland, we bought many pooh biscuits and soft toys (bcos mostly couldnt find in spore). although you should be able to find blue label in spore (there's a shop @ the arcade imported this brand) but will be slightly expensive. my hb bought 2 blue label wallets for his sisters and a bag for me. ok. will update you again!
