DIsneyland Tokyo Lesson 2

1 have few opinion points to highlight regarding Disneyland Tokyo:

1. The ticket for an adult is 5,800yen ( its call a one day passport) - choose the day of your trip carefully, one a wrong day, the passport might be a waste.

2. The whole park is kinda old fashion. especially the characters and the parks. 1 expected better actually. They have old characters and cartoons but not the updated ones. I was expecting to see more recent characters.. tapi its more of the 80s and 90s cartoons.

3. The worst part was the show with the scientist who shrunk his kids and then blew u his baby Adam. the things was so old..the 3D animation was so-so but the movie itself was ANCIENT! and if you are late, ur cant seat on the 2nd last row of in the theater where they provide English translation on the headset because its packed all the time. they should provide more rows.

4. However, the night shows were superb except for the fact that the Disney staff keep shoo-ing you off. One say that you should stand here, and after 5-10 minutes another one comes to say that u cant be there and shoo u off again? what in the world?

5. I dont know if its because of the summer heat, but u dont bump into many characters like Mickey of Minney or Donald. i saw Goofy twice then the dwarfs, though. too bad. i think they shud have more characters roaming around.

Ijoudesu.

MUN

An old friend today asked me what is the thing i missed most from back home.. for a minute it got me thinking.. what is it? it was simple question but honestly i cant think of an answer. maybe i'll ponder deeper into this matter.

My Green Friend

OVERCOOKED?

While trying to make the most creative and grand plus ego boosting dish, everything is overcooked. too much ingredients also make the dish wrong! the result of the cooking is gorrendous ( gorry + horrendous).everybody is talking about the horrible dish and setting foot into the eatery is now scary and an uncertainty.

Denying the real recipe, trying to appear a superb cook when you are an amatuer..ohh my what a waste of time, money and effort of the sincerest group of cooks.And now, to correct and straighten the misconceptions, the image, the damage done is not easy.

all because somebody wants to become head chef..without the actual qualifications, without even brains for it. maybe only the passion that is making him rave like a maniac for power.

shame on you!

LUCKY

Yesterday, again my dad said i'm a very lucky person.
since i was a kid, he says that all the time,
but most of the time i just dont get it.
but know i kinda get it.

but somehow why do i keep whining outloud and
most of the time whining inside that things aren't good enuf..
things aren't perfect enuf, things just aren't enuf for me.

i got thru childhood- many memories
i got thru school-infact into one of the best schools-many great memories n many great people
i went into university-where i was schooled n learned many life lessons
and acquired many friends
i went into working life-again many great people, many friends
i have great terrific parents- they give me the utmost freedom to decide my life
i have 2 wonderful brothers - whom i sometimes dont pay attention much to..
i have a great extended family who squabble all the time but always find ways to make up.

always surrounded by people who love me, people who care.
what more can a person ask for..rite?

although my dad did mention that so far, i'm unlucky in love..
but he thinks i'll settle down once i'm done with my masters..
but he says i'm have everything else, so i am lucky.

Even that, he said i am lucky because i have had many relationships,
compared to those who had never had any relationships at all.

so i am lucky.
i am lucky.

i just need to be reminded.

SOBA

I' ve eaten soba many times, but none made justice to the one i had at YABUSOBA. It's so delicious i wanted to eat another one but since my friend was treating me, i couldn't be so full of gluttony, futhermore i was full. we had to wait for awhile, the line was always there. u could tell from the moment u set feet into the restaurant compound that there was something different about it. It radiates some historical aura without trying too hard. its natural. And the moment i set foot into the shop, i knew this was a killer.

Later i found out from my buddy that this restaurant dates back to the Meiji Era. it started in 1880. it was destroyed in the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923. it was rebuilt and has eversince been managed by 3 generations so far..great isn't it? i ordered prawn tempura soba atatakai (hot) and my friend ordered the sumetai (cold) soba with fish paste on top. both were superbly delicious. but i prefer hot soba..(so far)...

i cant wait to go again!!!!

KANDA YABU SOBA IS A MUST VISIT IN TOKYO!

* Realize that the letter 'bu' of YABU is written differently. its the mukashi (ancient) 'BU' before being simplified. cool!

HOKKAIDO n AINU

Summer holidays ni rasa cam nak pi holiday to Hokkaido, the northern part of Japan. while searching for more info, i accidently bumped into some issues regarding the indigenous people of Japan called the AINU. plus they have many issues and claim towards the Japan government as they claim that they have not been treated fairly. interesting!
