i had had quite a good sleep the night before and was quite hyper that morning...ヘ(^_^ヘ)(ノ^_^)ノ
the problem is i get hungry easily when i am hyper :D so we had a simple breakfast at Maxim's yumcha restaurant before we check in.
Breakfast: carrot cakes, steamed squid, beef ribs in pepper (yummy!! wish to order more but..), porridge & cheung-fun
I'm feeling hungry all over again...
[osaka/kansai...Boarding soon. I can't wait! XD]
As if the breakfast was not enough, i gobbled down the in-flight meal. i chose the oriental version (which is essentially Japanese style), which consists of ginger pork (so they claim) & rice, some weird dessert (a cake?) and...Cha soba (with dippings)!
some people may just pour the sauce onto the noodles(like eating soup noodles), so the package has instructions on how to consume the soba...they especially pack fresh seaweeds!!! some Japanese restaurants will just ve the seaweed get soggy on the soba (S*kae, S*kisushi etc)
after 3 almost 4 hours, we reached OSAKA!!!!!! yippeeee cant wait to get out of the plane o(´∇｀*o) (especially when the air stewardesses are so annoying..)
[spacious hall]
["Welcome to Kansai"]
kansai international airport (KIX) is built on an reclaimed island, amazing huh. we took train to kyoto, where we would be staying in for 5 days.
[the nozomi/haruka..watever, can't rmb]
first we took haruka 38 which took us to shin-osaka..then nozomi 92 which took us to kyoto station...total time from airport to kyto was only 1hr15min...quite fast and the seats were quite comfy...i slept a bit cos i was really tired...
[the train ticket]Disaster occured when we tried to reach our hotel. we had a map as reference and the hotel, as shown on the map, was just two blocks away. so we decided to go on foot. anyway, it was SUPPOSED to be two blocks away...BUT! THE MAP SCREWED UP!!!! it only shows the main street, which means the little alleys are not indicated..after walking for about 10 minutes, aunt decided to stop and ask for directions. japanese are kind and some gave elaborate directions by gesturing and limited english...
"why don't we just hail a taxi?" i suggested. (*′皿`艸)
"I think we just ve to walk a little longer...just a bit more will do," aunt reassured.
and so we endured another 10 min of hellish walk to the hotel (_ _lll) (it was 33 degrees at night...). to make matter worse, IT RAINED!!!! poured, i would say... we took shelter at some buliding and took out our umbrellas...the street was empty except for us..and it was dark...and wet. aunt braved in the rain to check out how long we had to walk...and came back cheerfully to announce that we were 200m away...god bless aunt.
by the time we reached the hotel and checked in and settled down, we are too exhausted to go back to kyoto station to have dinner, so we crossed the road to the family restaurant opposite to our hotel. and i swore that night, before i went to bed, i would talk aunt into taking taxi to kyoto station the next day.
Dinner: sis ordered omelete, me ordered fried set
