Japan was, and i emphasise,(im sure you guys were expecting this) Awesome! It was a great experience to have been able to interact with and live among a people with a very evident and beautiful culture. That alongside the amazing scenery and eye opening thrust into the tokyo city life!!

Life
The fashion, social behaviour and mannerisms of the average japanese is a hell of a lot more different from a singaporean's. Im not going to elaborate, however ill say this. They are aware of the word "Thank You" . Fashionwise, they have a very unique and to an extent, radical style (moreso the youngsters). However, they have the ability to pull it off nicely! Indeed i am now aware now of why Japan is considered a centre of fashion.

Food
And the food? FREAKING AWESOME. I am happy to say that the insatiable, savage and consuming rice monster within me has been satisfied! In these 7 days i enjoyed some old favourites(Katsu Don, Ten Don, Udon..) and feasted on some new experiences as well. We stayed at a Ryoukan for 2 days and had the pleasure of enjoying a true japanese styled meal! The Sashimi was the sex and the rest of the meal tasted great too. Except for a certain snail which i simply could not stomach..

Place
We visited some really beautiful and eye opening places, however i'll let the pictures do most of the talking here! Places we visited included the Nikko Falls, Atami Prefecture and places around Tokyo..

All in all, it was an amazing experience. The places we visited, people we met and things we saw were great. However, the thing that mattered most was that we did it as a family. We've definitely grown closer as a result of this vacation (Especially through the arguments, quarrels and disagreements!) I feel really lucky to have been given this opportunity and all i can say is....
