Golden Week ....

That term Golden Week is actually a week long holiday...perfect name eh?
K, holiday actually started on the 29th of April...just got time to type today so...

That Friday me and that MGS girl went to Tokyo...there was a gathering of all Malaysian Chinese there....and I'm a Chinese. We was there for lunch...went to play at the same park with crazy people (recall my sakura story) ....and then my home less night in Tokyo.
K, that's for intro...
The day after homelessness, I went all the way to Osaka, one of Japs major cities. It's uhh....a long way from Tokyo. Anyway...guess what I went there with?? Bus? What? You think I sit in a museum worth Transnational?? NO! i went with a Bullet train...check this out



Lovely eh?? notice how far back it goes...took me 2 hours ++ train ride. Anyway, have you people heard of bullet trains? Really? well, I SAT in one...haha. What? irritated by my showing off? Oh, bite me.....or you can be a devil and remind me of that extra delicious satay celup i dream about every night....sigh....
double sigh....
Anyway, my ex-roomie picked me up from the station and went walking round Osaka city...was raining that day so, not much for that day...
Next day, we went to a place called Nara. There's a famed big buddha statue there. Well, the whole place is a big park surrounding the main temple...around the park, I saw for the 1st time of my life a living deer, other than in Black pepper sauce. not 'a' actually but many deers... the whole place is filled with peaceful looking deer grazing on grass.




That's me trying to speak in deer language but he or she (dunno, didn't check) didn't seem to respond..hmm

However, If anyone ask me for my comments, I'd say, SHIT! not boring shit but shit's shit. The whole place is practically fertilized with deer shit. Not a single damn spot to step on without soiling your shoes with smelly pieces of crap. I actually wonder if the 'many deers' here have to do anything with the lack of chinese here. Imagine if they have this many deers thing in Malaysia.....bet some chinese dude will set up a restaurant and start kidnapping those deers. And then....Cheap dear! Cheap Dear!

Anyway, made our way to the main temple and i understood why is it called main...


The entrance gate is HUGE! I think it takes three of me to hug the support pillars. And on the inside, there's 2 huge stone guards staring at all of us tourist raping the place off serenity.


That's me again trying to be funny..

Anyway, if the entrance can mesmerize anyone, what lies beyond the gate will definitely takes one's breath away (Cehh...poetic!)




Notice that guy in the middle? That's me, desperate to be funny...

The courtyard outside is lined with flags...is it suppose to look like that or is it suppose to have some spiritual feel to it? God knows.....but here's a look at it.



And on the inside, sheltering under the enormous structure is The Famed Big Buddha....Hmm, I like that name...



I've once visited Penang's Quan Yin at Kek Lok Si Temple...damn, at that time when I take a look at it, I feel something spiritual in me, something like understanding that I'm humbly under god's whim and the all so overwhelming presence of it. But here, ...i guess the shitload of tourist here just spoils the spiritual air....Sad to say that The Famed Big Buddha look just like another piece on display. Great but ordinary at the same time.
Anyway, left the place and venture round again...saw some jap chicks in Kimono and then felt so lucky to be in Japan..they can look so delicious in that Kimono.



And then I saw that thing......ABC! Well, jap's ABC anyway, just plain ice and syrup, no beans or anything...and i paid for it RM10! My.........mom .........is......... gonna ........nag.....



And not just one stupidity but dear old Randy had to perform two stupidity to live up to his Ketam nickname. Spent RM3.50 for fortune telling and got my un-fortune told instead..


Yeah...go ahead laugh all you want. Come back when you finish spitting saliva everywhere in your fit of laughter...

All in all i have to say that the one thing i saw that intrest me most is this...


Gentle? Man?....???

The next day, gave up being holy and went back to being traditional tourist. Went to an Underwater World kind of place...cool....



K, gonna be National Geographist and show some very boring pics of whales in aquarium , ever heard of WHALE in AQUARIUM?(yeap, no spelling mistakes..aquarium as in aquarium your cute little goldfish live in), crabs that look like The Terminator's parents, weird stupid fish, weird spiky fish, penguins(cold climate animals) swimming around happily while I sweat my head off, and of course sea otters..



Creeeppieee....the light have super effect for creepiness..


like i said, weird fish, swims super slow and easily blinded by flashes of light...it bangs in to the barrier every time someone snap a picture


Look closely..there's actually two fishes there..


the spiky one....


This one just finish humping another sea otter, please come back a few months later for a new baby sea otter..

After watching porn of two sea otters, headed outside...Right outside there's a a super tell ferris wheel....tall as umm Emperor Hotel near Bukit China....sad thing is, I had to leave early that night... since I've come from a faraway place...can't ride on that giant Wheel...frustration level went up like what US hope Wall Street would go up. And my friends wasn't doing much help...just laughing at me..Damn....



So, that's all folks, thanks for bearing with this TV Pendidikan kinda thing....Oh, by the way, on my way back, i took the normal train...my wallet told me it needed some fresh air. Journey took me 12 hours ++....
