Japan Trip (Kanazawa)

21st March 2012
Temp: 6'C
Location: Tokyo, Kanazawa

As we landed in Tokyo, we take train again to Kanazawa - my sis place. It was a double deck train which is my 1st ride too. We reached her place around 3pm +. It was still cold in my sis place. After reached Kanazawa JR station, we need to take bus to reach her house. The bus journey take about 30 minutes also.

Wow...a messy home it is as she is packing for moving out soon. She is getting graduated by tomorrow and start her new carrier path in April in Tokyo.

We then do some cleaning a bit and hubby & sis went to Jusco nearby her house to buy some grocery to do some home cooking at her home to save the meal expenses. :) They bought total about 3,000 yen include a packet of rice.

Due to my mom's hand is hurt, the chef of that night will be hubby. Hehe:) What we have for dinner? Basically we just relax at her house coz no rushing for any itenary again. It is all about her life in Japan as our experienced too. Honestly, hubby doesn't like so much as the house is too small for all of us. He can't sleep well. It was so cold & dusty there. Hehe:) By the way, to save cost, there are no choice.

Out for breakfast
Early morning my sis already went to her university for her convo preparation. She need to change to Kimono as the attire for her graduation day. After we woke up, we take our own sweet time to go out and hunt for our breakfast.

Again, we only know the way to Jusco from her place. So we had our breakfast in Mcdonald's there. After done, we went to do some shopping in a furniture mall. We bought a towel as we didn't bring any. Hubby got a bronze bell which he claimed that it is hardly find in KL since with good quality with the value of 1,050 yen.

After that, we went to a big Uniqlo store to shop. We finally can do some shopping. I got 2 tops which is only cost 100 yen each. Unbelievable! Hubby got 2 pairs of socks (990 yen), 2 pack set of basic tee (990 yen) and Ann got 2 pairs set of socks (590 yen) & 2 leggings pants (590 yen each). Jayne got nothing. Hehe:)

Then we go back to Jusco again to buy some food again for our lunch. We reached home about 12pm+ and  both of my kids already sleep. Hubby do a quick cook for lunch and my sis get home and informed us to go to the bus stop by 2.20pm to go to her University.

23rd March 2012
Weather: Rainy

Naughty Ann @ Kanazawa home
No itenary since it was raining again. My sis need to go to city hall to get her visa & working permit. Suppose we want to go Kenrokuen but due to raining, we didn't get to go anywhere.

Wait for my sis come back. When she was back, she need to wait for the recycle man to come and collect the used cabinet. We headed to Jusco for a short walk while waiting her.
@ Jusco
While waiting, shopping again. I used to get some sanrio's cloth. It really cute. Bought quite a lots back. Planned to tailored made it as quilt comforters and pillow cases for 2 princesses. Bought 2 cloth, plan to customised dresses for them as well. Dunno the outcome will look how. Let's wait and see. :)

We then go for our dinner in a udon shop nearby. This dinner for both me and hubby only spend about 1,000 yen +. Consider cheap meal in Japan! It was raining so it is so so cold and difficult to walk since need to take umbrella to walk some distances but finally of coz its completed the mission. When on the way back, sis back to Jusco to get some boxes to filled up her belongings for moving out. Hubby drop us and rush to Jusco and help her.

After that, lil monsters get into her sweet dream and then we all helping her to packing. Hubby and my sis packed until 1am+ to finished.
