Food court 4 is hazardous! There were so many people, I couldn't find a proper place to post this. Until an hour later. Mohohoho! Good job Jaslyn, on getting a better place (with charging points). Ok let me go on to the last part of my Japan trip. Since day 6 was short and we left Japan on day 7's afternoon, I decided to post BOTH DAYS! Aren't I nice? Ok I'll stop with my self praises and get on with the journey.

Because the 6th day has an option of going to either Universal Studios or Kobe, we decided to go Kobe cos we were sick of queuing for rides. First was the visit to the suspension bridge.

This is the interior of the huge suspension "string". They were made of poles 5mm worth of circumference. And it is said that if you join all of them together, it can go around the earth 7 times!

And this is the suspension bridge itself. Guess what. My bro said this bridge's road is only 1 way, that's towards the island. So it's called "Land of No Return". Ok what rubbish!

That's us. =)

Believe me, our purpose of this photo was not to look at the camera. There wasn't any other camera at where we were looking at. Strange? But nice. =)

Omg this is superb. I want to live here. But I'll be the first to experience floods?

We went up to the bridge, and that's 1 level below the cars, to experience being up there. And they had a small part of the floor made of glass, so you could see the sea. ^

After which we went to somewhere to shop and have lunch. Yep they also celebrate Halloween ok. Wooooo~

Me and the scenery.

Us and the scenery.

Ka-mo-me-ri-a. Something something something...

Us and Captain Jack Sparrow's ship-o~

Here's Kobe's historical site, where the earthquake of 7.2 (if I didn't remember wrongly) caused this. They left this like this because they want to see how much damaged it caused.

We walked towards China Town and saw a group of artists painting. SO NICE.

The drain cover, now that I remember. When I uploaded this I couldn't make out what it was. Hahaha!

Some tricycle taxi. Can sit only 1 person I think?

We finished the whole trip at Kobe at 3+pm (Japan time). 3 groups of us rested and came out again at 3.20pm to explore, by ourselves.

Keihan Hotel's lobby had this. Nice uh.

We took the train! This train specially serves the line between Universal City and Osaka station.

This is somewhere around Osaka Station. =)

And the bridge towards the shopping centre ahead.
It took us about half an hour to find it can. Bleh.

I went to the toilet and found this super toilet bowl. Notice the button called "flushing sound"? Nice. xD

We took a train back to the hotel, and this train happened to be in the same platform, and it's going to Kansai Airport. Nice...

My ticket. =D

And we shopped at Universal City, ate dinner, shop again, and went back to sleep.

7th day: We had our last visit before going to Kansai Airport. We're going home soon. ='(

The last visit was to Osaka Castle, in Chinese is Da Ban Cheng. Sounds nicer isn't it... Lol.

Direct translations...

The outside of the whole place itself. And outside is actually a park. You see alotta healthy people jogging.
Yea! Osaka castle.

Drinking holy water. This is quite a common sight in Japan's places of worship and history

Read it yourself.

Us!

The time capsule. If I understood correctly on what the tour guide said, the time capsule was to

cover a huge bottle of stuff, so it won't spoil. Every 100 years they'll open it up to put more things or take out some. They will not spoil, really. =)

The palace itself. Not open to people.

Small train rides were available from the palace's entrance to the way down. The palace was on top of a hill, so it's quite strenuous for OLD PEOPLE. HOHOHO! Of course, a few of us didn't take. ^^

And that's the way down... =S

Look at them... Silver birds. Seen it for the first time right? And furthermore they are not camera shy. Oh whatever lol.
After which, we left... for Kansai Airport. =(

That's how it looks like...

Here too...

We want momento. So we took pictures.

We had 13 people in the whole tour group. One couple is staying free and easy for another day, another couple went missing. O.O"

Can you believe it? Our country's advertisement.

After all the duty free (aka dufry) shopping, we left the airport for Singapore. Mohoho. Yesh I'm here I'm here.

When we heard about the extension of 1 day thingy, my bro said "Ma let's extend oso la. I'm going Hokkaido tomorrow." -.- That was totally impossible cos you had to do the arrangements in Singapore when you booked the tour itself. Dun be as gullible as my bro, thanks.

That's all folks... ^^ Seems like it's not as much of a surprise as I thot it'd be. Cheh! Don't want to visit this blog liao. LOL.

Thanks a lot for coming to my blog and reading my posts, and I'm sorry if I don't go to yours to read and tag, because it's always the last thing I'd remember to do. WHOA... Da pai... Don't friend me ok. Bye...
