Today we are leaving Fukuoka and going to Nagoya. It was a rainy day in the morning. Luckily we mostly will be in the train. Before check out, we went to have our breakfast neatby our hotel. Then teh rest of them went back to hotel to get the luggages while I m waiting them there with Sheyanne coz It is raining. Then we went to take Shinkansen to Nagoya.

Playing happily in train with "yee yee"

We reached Nagoya around 3pm. The hotel we booked called Nagoya Station Hotel. This is the worst Hotel we booked the whole trip. Good location but expensive with the room not so nice. Just like the "Nan Yang Hotel" in Petaling Street. Haih..no choice la..suppose we wanted to booked another hotel but it is full house. Luckily we onlys tay one night in Nagoya. Haha:) Nagoya is a city but here do not have any interseting spot. After check in, we went to have our late lunch near by the station.

Japan Trip - Day 7 (11th Sept)

Today early morning we take subway to Dazaifu, Temangun.- a fomous temple in Fukuoka. The little Sheyanne was poo in the subway. OMG, we only clean her up after we out of the subway. And her pack of "cake" need to be packed and carry till we saw a dustbin. So smelly...Hehe:) As you all know Japan is a clean place and not allow people to do littering. :) So we also not dare to do so. Dazaifu reach there around 10.30am but we leave around 11.30am.



Really not enough time to walk so much coz we want to meet Yumiko - A Youth Excahnge Japanese who came and stayed in our house before and her family by 12pm in Hakata JR Station. Her mom purposely drive from home town to fetch us travel around for half day. Her mom, aunt and Yumiko picked us up @ Hakata Station by Nissan Serena. Just fit us all in. Hehe:) Dunno why Sheyanne like Yumiko so much. Smile and laugh with her. Just like to play with her. Haha:) Yumiko said that Sheyanne just look like Chew so much. :) Father and daughter. Thanks Yumiko mom bought Sheyanne a lovely cute bag and a hat as presents. Somemore treat us lunch and dinner. They brought us to Mariano City and Yahoo Dome. Mariano City is a outlet park. No time to shop but I bought a Coach bag there. Hehe:) Bought somethings for hubby in Muji.


Mariano City - Outlet Park

Yahoo Dome is a place like Bukit Jalil, a stadium for baseball match. There are events there and so are crowded when we went. Then we went to another shopping mall for a tea and we went to take " sticker photos". Haha:) Old people 1st time doing this and found that it is so interesting and now really advance. Haha:) Somemore, they mentioned they look so young in the result. Haha:) all of us also taken. Hehe:) At night, they brought us to had Ramen as dinner just near by our Hotel. A very nice Ramen and cheap also. 8 of us only spend below yen 5,000. :) Anyway, had a nice day and thanks so much to Yumiko and her family. We backed to hotel earlier and we need to pack our luggages as next day we are leaving Fukuoka. Haha:)

Japan Trip - Day 6 (10th Sept)

Cute attire from Conny. (Thanks Conny for the gifts)

Today our schedule is to Nagasaki. Need to take 2 hours train again. Early morning, we bought our breakfast in Lawson (convenient shop in Japan like 7-11) nearby our hotel then prepared to have it in train. Today Sheyanne was in a little cat attire. Everyone keep on looking at her esepcially when she sat on the lugage bag as her stroller. So many Japanese saying " Kawaii" - means cute. Haha:) She attracted so many people come around her especially while waiting my sis to buy breakfast. :) Cute girl.

I m always the last who eat breakfast coz need to wait my gal sleep only I can have time to eat. After on board, Sheyanne had her morning milk as breakfast and she sleep very soon in train. Once we reach Nagasaki, we bought a pne day bus pass again @ Yen 500 to travel around Nagasaki. Our 1st spot is the Peace Park. Nagasaki is a place where boomed last time just like Hiroshima. 2nd spot is the Peace Garden nearby.

We had a dinner appointment with Bee Ting, a friend of mine who came to Fukuoka as business trip. And also her birthday. I m 1st time celebrating her birthday, somemore is in oversea- Japan. Haha:) So embarassed la, her birthday soemmore need she treat us the expensive dinner. We choose to ate "Fugu" fish steamboat. "Fugu" is a type of fish which got poison and the chef need licensed to cut the fish. Supposed we want to have dinner at "Yatai" like the hawker stalls along the street in Canal City in Hakata, but it is not convenient since Sheyanne with us. So we went to a nicer restaurant. Haha:) Must treat her dinner after back to M'sia. Thank so much for the dinner, Bee Ting. Then we walked nearby the street there back to our Hotel. There actually are "Red Light Area". Many pubs for mens and also for ladies along the street and shops over there. Hehe:) The guys also quite handsome somemore.. A tiring day with many photos taken. Didnt thought of can meet M'sian friends in Japan.

Happy Birthday to Bee Ting

Thanks for the dinner

Then we bought a one day bus pass @ 500 yen per person. We queue for the Loop bus to the fish market for our lunch. Saw so many crabs. Although it is a fish market but not smelly at all and also the environment is so clean. We dine at a Japanese restaurant. The meal is so costly total 9,100 yen. After a full lunch, we go to the old street. There was a house made of gold and a shop inside selling souvenirs and things with gold also. As I walked along the street, a foreigner come to me and asked permission to take photos of Sheyanne coz she slept on me in the Ring Sling. Haha:) Dad bought some souvenirs in the gold souvenirs shops.

After that, we transfered to the Japan famaous park - Kenrokuen. The entrance fees is 300 yen per person and I feel that it is so worth coz the park is so nice. Taken so many photos with beautiful scenery. Before we want to go home, we went to the Art musuem, this is the place where the HK drama "最美丽的第七天" shooted. Especially the fake swimming pool. But too bad, that's not a good timing when we went coz under renovation. We are not allow to enter. So only go one round then we take bus and go home. When reach home, mom and aunty again cook for dinner. After the quick dinner, we went to Jusco for shopping. Mom and aunty bought a lots of things in 100 yen shop. And I also grabbed fews cheap tops coz there are having summer sales. Hehe:) Whereas dad went to the furniture place by bicycle. We reached home about 10pm. Start packing those things that no longer use for other days in 2 lugagges bags and sent to Kansai Airport by delivery services so that we traveled lighter on the following days. After Sheyanne sleep, my turn to watch drama using sis laptop where as she alone rearrange all the rubbish again. Pity. No choice la. We not used to it. Hehe:)
