Going to Tokyo~!

It's a real tiring journey from our home to Tokyo... We get up early at 5 something, took breakfast and packed luggage, rush to the bus station nearby our house, after arriving at the JR train station which they called Eki here, then took train to Shiraichi Station, from there took another bus to Hiroshima airport, then took the plane to Haneda International Airport, from there we took monorail to Hamamatsuchio, then change to JR train to Shinjuku, then walk to our hotel.......


complicated?



ok...


Home ---> bus station (15min) --->

Saijo Station (15min) ---> Shiraichi Station (15min) --->

Hiroshima Airport (10min) ---> Haneda International Airport (1hour 15min) --->

Hamamatsuchio Station (20min) ---> Shinjuku Station (28min) --->

New city Hotel (15min)





Total --------- 6.15am - 1.45pm



Above is the estimated travelling time, not including boarding, waiting time, walking from tracks to tracks, studying the map, searching, enquiring for directions, etc.

Carrying our luggage all the way........
Now we regretted not to bring the small dragging luggage when we came to Japan.

The expenses of taking the buses and trains, is 3,020yen (RM90++) and that is excluding the air ticket oh~ Hmm... I'm getting numb to the price already.

In conclusion, we took the whole morning just to get ourselves from Higashihiroshima to Shinjuku.

You know how damn tiring it was???


There's this place where you can view all the planes here... But no no, it's not free, you got to pay 200yen per person (RM6) to enter.


And there's binocular for you too! BUT pay first before you want to see anything from that stuff. I forgot the price, either 100/200/300yen lar.
I'm just pretending I can see! ;p

This is our plane --- Boeing 747 400. One of the largest plane~~~ There's two levels in the plane, the upper floor is for the First Class passengers. Of course we are not sitting there! ;p


Again I'm sleeping...


Arriving in Haneda International Airport, we saw this cutie plane. Wah, that's a lot of pokemon!

I'm already feeling sick after such long journey. I'm the type that can't travel far. I went washroom for few minutes as feeling like throwing out. Then we were late to pick up our baggage, it was already the luggage for the next flight when we got there!

The crew announced asking us to collect out luggage at counter. That was a bit embarrassing... But their system is real good. And before you leave, they will check you sticker (given to you when you check in luggage) and take off the one on your luggage. So no one is going to take other people's baggage.



Arriving at Shinjuku Station we are already exhausted and starving. So we decided to take our lunch there.

Hunting for cheap and nice food is also another tiring job. Everyone is rushing, rushing. They don't care if they knocked you. It's your fault that you are blocking the way!


Then finally decided to have our first meal in Tokyo at this Miami pizza restaurant... I was taking quite some time to read the katagana on the menu, only then the waitress offered us the English menu. Ooohhh... Tokyo is different, they have lots of foreigners, so they normally will have the English menu. That's great.

One pizza is costing you about RM30. But it's yummy~ That makes me feel good again. ;)

I shall take quite some time to share with you on our trip... be patient lar~ ;)
