Kamakura & Enoshima, Windy trippu!

My sister, mother and myself went to Enoshima where located south of Kamakura another day.

I worked before meeting up with them, and called my sister to pick me up at Ofuna station. BUBBBBUUUT, she was sleeping when i got Yokohama, she picked me up on time, so it was perfect. but i knew she will be late if i didn't call her..... oh well..... she is my sister.

Anyway, i slept only one hour after night shift, but i wasn't so tired some how. wonderful thing to feel. we planned to go some temples, like big butta etc.. but realized all the leaves has not turn the color this year yet. sooooo, can you guess what we did????

we cleaned her apartment!!!!!! as tyler knows, my sister cannot finish cleaning, same with me, but she has two cats, and it's always mess everywhere, covered with clothes, stuff, everywhere, i mean, everywhere....

we spend all most all day to clean up her living room, kitchen, storage??? bed room, bath room, closet, entrance! i didn't take any photo to compare, but we felt soo goood after cleaning up her room. hope she can keep it up!!!!

Next day, we stayed her apt., we went to Bakerly around 9:00 AM in Hayama, i forgot the name of restaurant but they serve just baked pastry only for 1200 for all you can eat for 90 mins! we had so many pastries, uhhhhhhmmmm. if you have any chance to come this area, I will take you over there! it's really really good, people always wait for having break fast, this time, we were secound group, but after we had seat, 5-6 group was waiting at outside!!!

After out stomache was filled with great food, we decided to go to Enoshima! I think i have been there when i was junior high school. but i don't remenber..... I'm sure Taylor went there when she was here, it's a tiny irand. we walked up and down about one hour, it was very nice. It 's kinda top of hill, so we saw mount fuji with beautiful sunshine above sky!

Check out the beautiful day in Enoshimsaaaaa,

oh, i got hair cut toooo! very short now!

Vietnam trip!!!! Wants to go back already!

I've been busy since i came back to japan, not only working. oh, i went to work on the day when i came back, i stopped by my apt. once to leave stuff and take shower, then went to work!! The funny thing is i haven't told anyone at my work that i was going to Vietnam for 3 nights 5 days! so pepole at my work thinks i had 3 days off and stayed in JAPAN!!! so it was hard and fun for met to keep the secret:) Anyway, I took Aroma test yesterday so i had to study right after i came back to here, and we had huge parties 2 nights.... wait... i came back on 29th, and parties were held on 29th and 30th. oh yeah, we had over 100 people each party and i came back my apt around 1AM, sleep 4 hours and study/work..... that was hard.... after i took aroma test yesterday, i slept over 10 hours, good sleep:)

anyway, i loved vietnam! if you have been to Thai, you can compare how Vietnam is well organized and developoing so fast. Me and my friend left tokyo on 25th eveing aroun 7 PM by ANA flight(it was first time for me to take ANA because it is sooooo expensive ticket, except this one!) and got Ho Chi Min airport at 24:00. Our tickets includes pick up service and hotels so they drove us to the hotel dorectly! The Ho chi Min airport was really moden, clean, new! they renewed last year, much better than Narita! i was soooo suprized because i was expecting the air port in Thai, like realy old building, clouded, local people try to sell items to traveler.... etc... but not in Vietnam.

We haven't decide what we ganna do before we leave, we decided what kind of tour we ganna do on the airplane, 1st day, tour of Mecon river(tyler, this is what i was talking about), 2nd day, going to Mui Ne where famous for yellow desert and beach at night. ans stay one night, come back Ho Chi Min on 27th, shopping on 28th and leave at midnight flight! We asked some detalis at front desk right after we got, but it was midnight and could not get some detail. so we went to `Sinh Cafe` which is travel agent for foreigher, or even local people for night buses, they have fixed price, and every body speaks really good english. sowe got tour of Mecon river and tickets for Mui Ne for next day. it was so smooth:)

Mecon river was so nice, it was really wide, and calm. me and my friend was sleeping on the boat! nice sunshine, nice wind, how can we not sleeping???? hehehe, oh, but we had heavy rain on the way back to bus turminal...... very hard one, all of my body was wet, but had to stay 3 hours until we got back to Ho Chi Min.... i was lucky i didn't become sick!

it's really lonnnngggggg posting now, better take shawer and will write again sooon,

some photoooos toooo,
