Day 6. 31st Oct 04

Wah. Today cannot wake up. but at the end of the day, we still managed to get out of the dorm and meet the girls.
We guys were late. Waited at the wrong station sommore. Super late. we then moved on to Tsuyami(whatever) station to meet the girls.
Met at the Beck's cafe. Saw a bunch of girls, schoolgirls. SUNDAY?! gosh, these girls are really obsessed with school. =)
heck, after looking at the girls, i heard a familiar call. yikes. the girls were just beside them and i have given them a miss. haha.
hey, guys will be guys.

hai. we went to chinatown after that. (ichigawa station???) no idea. Just follow and enjoy.
there were lots of dogs today. all kinds. F was happy i guess.
the guys were still playing with their handphones. haha
chinatown was quiet. it wasn't even open yet i guess. it was 11am+ i think. check the pictures.
then we realised, walked the wrong way. heh.
After backtracking, we finally got to the real chinatown. Okay lah. looks quite okay, but not exactly too chinatown-ish.
though there were lots of chinese food to get. Lee Kim Kee, Haw flakes,.. i got myself a Guiling Gao. took too many pictures there.
battery went flat. Fiona-san tried many hats today. SN was photo taking today. Lost all his phone battery. had to stick to us after that.
Jasmine-san led the way. i was cursing myself for wearing the leather shoe today.
the other guys wore Brooks, courtesy of the army.
pi-dan (century egg) was at 315 for 5.
We went to a nice restaurant for lunch. Not exactly cheap. 700yen cheapest bowl of noodle. S$11++. That's like the average price of my meals
these few days. terrible. and we were complaining about singapore getting more ex. well, there was generous ingredients, but i won't say
its enough. now i know why mandarin can charge $11 for char kuay teow and no japanese complains.
Eh. restaurant have a wireless call system. press something on a box and the waiter will come.
fried rice was pathetic.
went to get "gao luk" to eat. chestnut. Everyone shared. they ate up everything!! i was enjoying it slowly. i learn now.
went to pray at a temple as well.
a motobike was CHAINED to a pole. i thought we do that for bicycles.


went to a garden to eat Bao. all were hungry and tired from all the walking.
lots of bao in china town. i saw porks leg too!!!
there were bao to take home and cook yourselves in packs of 3 or something.
215yen bao. 6 of us shared 2. nice. I shared with jas and fiona.
got stuffed with the remaining bao. but that didn't keep me full till dinner. by 5pm, the sky was dark. i was thinking about dinner already.
really hungry. so after a while, went to tsurumi(eh i got it right) station to shop at Seiyu.
on the way there, we took 2 wrong trains. stupid train system. there were different trains on the same track and platform.
we rushed up the wrong ones. i think we missed an interchange.
not only that, we went the wrong way.
once there we shop and shop till 7pm for dinner. REALLY HUNGRY.
went to yoshinoya. Cheap meal!! 380yen for a nice hot bowl of beef and some jap noodles and a bowl of rice. Plus a cup of jap tea.
Finally something mroe affordable and edible.
found internet at 100yen per 10min. So Damien went to check mail. i was thinking of going home. haha.
After that, we went home already. but not without taking the wrong train again.
ended up 5 stops away after taking the express train.
finally back in the bunk. dorm. time for my "day 5" diary. forgot to write yesterday. heh. ja!
