Holidays In Japan( Chapter 1)

It has been our families’ dreams of going to Japan for holidays since Ah Girl and Ah Boy beginning to like Japanese cuisine. It has always been “ Mummy, we must go to Japan to eat real Japanese food.”

Going to Japan to most people would be following Group Tours from tour companies, however we decided otherwise.

Big Daddy initially was not very convinced that we could go to Japan on our own without following tour group. But eventually, he opined that we could just take it easy if we could not get around in Japan. Alas,,, we found it so easy and convenient to travel in Japan the moment we set foot in Narita Airport.

Of course, before departed for Japan, I have done my homework. I searched the web, and found that Japan’s tourism infrastructures are so good, practically I could get any information I needed. Below is the web site that I surfed for most of the information I needed.

Since this would be our first trip to Japan, we decided to visit Tokyo and Osaka only. Thus, we stayed in Tokyo for six nights and moved on to Osaka by bullet train. We stayed in Osaka for four nights and we returned home from Osaka.

7As

That's the number of As Ah boy got for his PMR Exam. Fabulous, isn't it?

In fact I should have written this post the day when Ah Boy got his PMR result on the 24th December. However, I just couldn't set my mind to write anything lately. I suppose age is catching up on me... I am half a century plus one year when my next birthday comes. Sad, not at all.

It's so wonderful that Ah Boy got straight As for his PMR Exam. Ha..ha.. at least my constant nagging and supervisions at the last one month has pulled through good results from Ah Boy. Though at times he was very agitated with me, but what the heck, the ultimate results are my main concerns. Well done, Boy... Mummy so proud of you!!!

Of course talking about exam results, Ah Girl did well in her Melbourne U first year final exams too. I am so happy and proud of Ah Girl. She has constantly produced good results since her school days. Bravo,,,, girl, you are wonderful.
