After getting a good night’s sleep at the minshuku, we were up and ready by 7:30am. Same with the previous night, all the guests ate breakfast together. Breakfast was a mix of eastern and western dishes. It was the first time I was served scrambled eggs and English tea while staying at a traditional inn. One of the nice ladies who served us even offered to take a photo for the three of us while we were having breakfast. (Probably…
I felt a ton better the next morning and thankfully my appetite also returned. We went downstairs for breakfast in the lobby, then checked out and left our suitcases with the concierge. We only carried our backpacks with us as we made our way over to the Meitetsu bus station to pick up our tickets for Shirakawago. It was my first time taking a bus in Japan (with the exception of the airport limos I’ve taken to Narita). I’m not…
First day of our trip to Japan. Early that morning my sis and I had dim sum for one last time with our grandma, then it was off to the bus stop to travel to the airport. While we were waiting for our flight, we had one last meal in HK. My sis ordered the Hainanese chicken rice from Cafe de Coral, while I ate wonton noodles and BBQ goose from 正斗, which cost me $203 HKD. Aside from three…
Another year another delegation! This year the delegation from Kariya had a short visit, so with just five days together, we packed a lot of activities into our busy schedule. For the welcoming on Saturday, everyone gathered at City Hall prior to their arrival. We were so excited to meet our guests for the first time! For my guest Yurie, it was her first visit to Mississauga. I was surprised she spoke English so fluently! After introducing all the guests…
いよいよ旅行最後の日！朝早く起きて、荷物を準備してホテルをチェックアウトしました。11時に順子たちと新宿駅で再会し、その後、みんなで一緒にランチを食べながら話が盛り上がりました。全て日本語での会話だったから、むずかしかったわ！ ランチの後は、ホテルに戻り、順子たちにクリスタを紹介して、記念写真も撮りました。預かってもらった荷物をとりだして、バス乗り場までみんなで行きました。バスが来るまで順子たちも待っていてくれました。とても感謝しています。わずかな時間でしたが、とても楽しめることができました。いろいろとありがとうございました。 バスで2時間かけて、成田へ行きました。チェックインをした後、クリスタをANAラウンジへ連れて行ってあげました。とても広くて綺麗でした！たくさんの料理が並んでいて、SAKEバーもありました！そこで私たちはたくさん食べて、すぐに搭乗しました。 今回の３週間旅行は、とても楽しかったです。春節に家族と過ごせ、友達も会えたし、大好きなMaydayのコンサートに行くなど、充実していました。次はいつ行けるかわかりませんが、楽しみにしています！！
