Japan Day 6

Day 6.

Since we had gotten some 2 day free pass for the bus service around the mt fuji area, we decided to give it another shot, hoping to see mt fuji this time.

We left my grandmother and aunt at the hotel so that they could explore the area around japan themselves (as in shopping), while we headed to the bus interchange to take a bus to this premium outlet just at the base of mt fuji.


Yay, finally, i quit eating ramen and eat some fast food. Check it out lah, mac selling hot dogs.

and milk.

They have this type of trash cans like everywhere.

a Q of taxis early in the morning.

The trip on the way there was kinda of boring, as they lined their highways with high barriers that impeded the view outside.


stupid sound barrier thingi

a rare break in the barrier revealing the beautiful japanese countryside.


Im super proud of this shot. like uber proud, cuz the conditions made it difficult to take this picture.

We reached the premium outlet and started shopping for junk, since mt fuji was still obscured by clouds.


You have probably heard of it, if you went to japan.

A good example here of what the Aperture (or f-stop number) on a camera does. The top picture shows a shot taken with high aperture number, while the bottom picture shows a shot taken with a low aperture number. What the aperture does is control the Depth-of-Field. What that means is the area that is IN FOCUS. Thus, the larger the f-stop number, the larger the area in focus.


my mom was crazy over the crazy crepes. like totally kept talking about buying it when we walk by it again later in the day. (check out the amount of people around too)

Their changing room was large. Like, 1/4 of a bus large.

Mt Fuji. Covered by clouds.


Nothing much happened there, other than finally getting to see mt fuji. Food was good. hmm, and there were a ton of dogs there too.


awww. cute. The dogs were all very well trained there, none of them barked, ran around or anyhow shit and junk. You could hear more babies crying than dogs barking.

Yes, that is mt fuji. like where the hell is the snow.







Another shot of mt Fuji from the roof top of the car park. It absolutely dominates the area. I think you can only feel the full extent of it if you had a 42 inch tv and the full size picture. and yeah, its definitely mt fuji. Not sure what happened to the snow though.




so apocalyptic.


It was getting dark so we headed back on another bus this time.


At some shopping center back in shinjukiu, Kinda of like Courts or Harvey Norman in singapore. Just a ton more awesome. Just check out the rack of eneloop battires.

Dude just pick one. they all look awesome anyway.

all the lens filters. Too bad they didnt have my usual brand. (things were more expensive too, im not sure why.)

The thing i loved most there. You get to try out those cameras that cost up to $9k.
Totally fun lah, i got to try the Canon mark 1Ds, 5dmk2, and Nikon d3, d3x (which costs 9k) and many others. Damn i want the 5dmk2!


looks like some one left the stove on.

oh, guess not.

Had KFC for the night. Yumm.
And Japan lights up again.






haha, i like this pic.

street view....

i like how fast the people look like they are walking in this pic. not to mention the people..

Saw the night life in shinjukiu, then went back to the hotel to watch more sumo.hell yeah.
