It was an amazingly great experience.
Especially the gastronomic experience.
I had the best Okonomiyaki and not to forget the sukiyaki and all the sweets, mochi, and cakes on Ginza Street!
Oishiiiii!
Every food has its own story, as most Japanese put so much thoughts and their heart in what they eat and how it is served. I learned a lot from a friend, a tour guide, a humble person named Chris who taught me a lot on how the Japanese live.
Shopping in Tokyo is awesome, though I find shopping in Seoul is more challenging because they have Dong Daemun and Myeong Dong. (will blog about it soon. wink wink.)
On the weekends, head to the Japanese hot springs where you can relax and have a hot bath or onsen. Most Indonesian finds it embarassing to take a hot bath and nakedly dip into the pool with ten people or more. Oh well. Not me. Hot springs are amazzzing. I even slept in a traditional Japanese room in a yukata that night.
Tokyo and Osaka is by far my favourite cities in Japan. Osaka, due to the greatly fun time I spent in Universal Studio Osaka and the awesome resort. *woot*. Apparently Tokyo Disneyland is not as good as the one in California. However Tokyo has successfully amazed me. I was dazzled because every aspect of the traditional culture and norms integrated naturally to every aspects of the globalization and development today brings. It is like Bali, minus the beaches, and a hundred times better.
I miss the automatic toilet, the uniquely abnormal fashion of the youth, the fast paced daily life, the "itadakimasu" before you eat, and the "kawaii" every time you see something cute.
またいつかね!
Mata itsuka ne!
See you soon, Japan!
