Giappone!

2009 is going to be my travel year...so with the Japan holiday it's one down.

The highlights of the entire holiday were the food, meeting my Japanese friends and Ghibli Museum. Oh have I already mentioned the food?
It's my second time but I guess you can never quite get enough of Japan, with its plethora of everything. Everything is about EXCESS. Excessive amounts of choices- make up brands, food, shops, railway lines (in my opinion, Japan exists on two levels –ground level and basement that is another whole city by itself with its underground railway systems, malls and the number of people). I figured if someone should ask you which part of Japan are you from, perhaps you should answer 'Oh, I'm from Basement One' or 'I'm from the Ground level'.
The funny thing though, is that when you are in Japan, you actually want to become a better person, like being more courteous, more civic-conscious, cos' despite all their idiosyncrasies, they are such nice people!

I'm going to share pics of the glorious food I ate in Japan, not a single bad meal.

For more pics you can find it on my facebook site.
