Day 1:
Our flight started off on Sun night heading towards Shanghai. Encountered a few turbulence and hard landings at both airports but ok so far... When we reached Kansai airport, was surprised to see a lot of PRC tourists, took us about 1 hour to clear the queue. By the time we reached hotel it was already 2 plus almost going to 3pm, went to Den den town to see some games and buy some stuff, went for karaoke to practise 発音 and went to meet my friends for dinner in the end.
Weather: Showers at parts of Osaka....
Both of us almost caught a cold.. am back in hotel to rest and prepare for our next day to Hiroshima. =)
========================================
Day 2:
Woke up at 7am to head for Hiroshima. Had our Lotteria breakfast on the Shinkansen, arrived at Hiroshima n headed for the beautiful, fairytale-like Miyajima. After that, we went to Atomic Dome n finished the whole day with some karaoke, shopping for games, Taito UFO catchers with a delicious Ichiran ramen.
Lesson on how to use anime to teach Japanese back at the hotel. ＝）
========================================
Day 3:
I think that Day 3 was one of the best days for us. We started off with going to Kurashiki in Okayama to see the old houses of Japan, then proceeded with karaoke practice, went Himeji, visited e outside of Himeji castle, had our fantastic tea break at Hello Kitty cafe. Ended our day with a cut at the salon with a nice bento n cake.
========================================
Day 4:
Day 4 was quite an exciting day for us. We started off in Umeda to learn how to pick good books for students. Spent about 2 hours there before going to Coco Ichibanya to have our curry rice. Watched 暗殺教室 in the afternoon n walked back to Denden town to get some more stuff. Had our dinner and walked around the neighbourhood.
Weathers: sunny
========================================
Day 5:
Day 5, being the last day is kinda e shortest i guess. Upon reaching Kyoto, we took a cab to Fushimi Inari, passed by the 千本通り n 清水寺 n the love shrine inside the temple. Had lunch and dessert at one of the most famous shops near 清水寺。 initially wanted to go Gion, but somehow or rather, we ended back up at the mouth of 清水寺、decided to take the bus n train back to the hotel, then head for the airport.
Points to note:
1) China Eastern Airlines always delay, but on the sky, chiong like 1000km instead of the normal 800+km. Landing is hard, so be prepared.
2) Buy insurance if you are taking China Eastern Airlines.
3) Service on China Eastern Airlines is not bad. =)
4) A lot of PRCs. Be prepared...
