Japan Trip 12th Apr to 17th Apr 2008

well this japan tour was not the best of japan that i experienced, as compared to my previous japan tour to Hokkaido.

Firstly, the tour schedule is very tight. every night change hotel. spend very short time at each place. go to many places. sometime long traveling time.

Secondly, the tour guide sucx. he is a singaporean to went to japan to work as a tour guide. every day put on black face one. then all the time he keep saying where to meet, when to meet, and how not to make ourselves lost and how impt is it to come back on time and what is the consequences if we are late. he give repeating and repeating. and somemore he say this 2 times "if we cant reach the restaurant at 5pm, we might have to come back at 9pm!".

wtf, he is like threatening us lor. and i been to so many tours, and i nvr heard of this crap before lor. i think he just want to finish the day asap so he can go shake leg eat snake. nvr say much about the japan culture or history of the places we visited. keep warning us that japanese are not very friendly, these sorts of things. say they are very systematic, not like us. i think he is bringing down both the japanese and us singaporeans lor.

nvr will i go to another asa tour liao lor. i rather spend more on a chan brother tour. at least so far their tour are still of a certain std. anyway i wrote down on the survey form that they should change the tour guide, and plus some of the points i said above. angry leh.

nevertheless, i did enjoy myself there to the great weather, the beautiful sights of japan, especially sakura, the kawayee jap babes, and the delicious jap food.

however one thing is, before one decide to go japan, one has to have enough money! everything is so ex....
