Alrighty, me and bren went to japan last december for an UBER FUN YOUTH EXCHANGE TRIP! We went to different places, pretty near though, just about 800 kilometers ;p
Kay fast-forward from the start, lazy to crap about leaving n arriving.
At the Kansai International Airport, with the other people who stay around Okayama (some further, but lazy lah)
The nice Lion's dude blew-up a photo of us here and sent one to each of us!
Said nice Lion's dude
Bullet train! the seats rotate once it reaches the end of the line, so that the train can just go backwards with passengers facing the direction it's going, damn yeng hor?
First lunch, host brother Satoshi... Vee!
Host father and pewter present.. Vee again!
My host family's really nice, they did a lot to make me feel welcome. Let me use the "ofuro" first XD ofuro = bath, everyone bathes in the same bathtub. My place's one was extra hot, 48 degrees! Normally it's supposed to be 43.
In Front of a Departmental store all the way across a bridge on an island, cause the "depato" is big. Host mother on right side! She's really nice. Vee again!! Japs bloody like doing that.
So, at the town i was in, Kurashiki, Okayama, there was only one guy aside from me. Small town = big welcome! yikes. Well their "small town" is sorta like our um... petaling jaya lol.
Yes i was on tv! As a matter of fact, on tv 5 times thru the trip LoL.

With Ju Beng at Mitsubishi Motors. He's the other guy in my area, nice fella. Do most activities with him since we're the only 2 farts around there lol. The Lion's follow us everywhere! super dedicated. Those craps didn't let us take photos inside the factory x( trade secrets pula, sniff. Mesin yang teramat teh Canggih.
These are ALL sakura trees! holy crap, must be a sight to behold when they bloom
Can you say.. Senbonzakura? :DThe GPS system in their cars.. is amazing. I typed in bren's address halfway across the country, and...
Her house is the sideways "s"-shaped one, slightly southeast of the centrepoint.
How long it'll take to get there, distance, time of arrival, how much it'll cost in toll fees holy crap it's amazing! Me and host mother (Tamami Mitsuoka) sat in the car for half an hour fiddling with the GPS and laughing like a coupla nutcases XD car was parked.
Sniff wouldn't let me touch the "drive" button (autopilot? lol not so geng gua)
Almost went to your place shorty!
Japanese elementary school!
Some Lion owns this trucking company, they started up their nice never-before used jumbo truck thingy for me to see! 10000cc engine, can take a max of 11 tons of cargo, 12 meters long.
Guess who's doing caligraphy?
Lion's christmas party. The santa's and reindeer and magicians, all Lion's members! whoa. Talk about fun-loving.
