Got my Japan Air Ticket!!!!

Oh Yeah!!! Time to put the sorrow aside and start planning for a happy holiday in Japan! From the 1st of June, I will be arriving in Japan at 6pm in the evening and will be leaving on 5th of June at 5pm back to Singapore! Throughout the stay, me and my 2 travel companion Hwee Yong and Ricky will be staying at the Capsule Inn located at Akihabara, the center of Otaku Culture in Japan! Oh boy oh boy, finally I can see rows and rows of my favorite robot, Gundam and get to eat Sushi, Japanese Hour Style. Of course can also take picture of Japaneses Mei Mei.

So I got slightly more than a week to plan the itinerary. Since I will be staying at Akihabara, I guess I plan the 5 Days itinerary using Akihabara Train Station as the travel center. Heard from many of my friends who went there that there is so much to see even 5 days is not enough. Obviously at this time, the Sakura bloom will be all over but not to worry, still much to see around!

One of the places I really really wanna go will be Studio Ghibli Museum located at Mitaka, Tokyo. That animations produce by Studio Ghibli and the work of Hayao Miyazaki is my favorite and the only reason I like Gundam over it are only the Robots but not the storyline. Recently just finish watching KiKi's Delivery Service, an excellent Anime with great storyline and role model character further motivating me to visit the Museum. This is a must go for Anime fans and here is a excellent English website showing you how to buy the ticket (fairly complicated process) and how to get there.




I'm really delighted to hear that the air ticket was approved today and I only got to pay US$125 for it. You see, my home flight ticket are free (sponsored by SAF) but any transiting, we got to top up. US$125 for a Japan tour, thats a steal. Ok lots of home work to do right now. Hmm...work on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Next week work on Monday and Tuesday only and than HOLIDAY!!!
