The Young Travelers Part 10

Right on time....
 The young travelers arrived at Hamamatsu at 6 p.m. as scheduled. The next big thing is what to expect here...another mystery and adventure begins
 There is a saying, yesterday is a history, tomorrow is a a mystery and today is a present...a new relationship bind us today between the young travelers and Malaysian's student in Japan from Shizuoka University. We were so lucky as they are coming home at the end of March after their convocation on the 22nd.
 The guy wearing a hat is Raja Izzuddin who helps me a lot before we put our two legs on foreign soil.
 Here at Kashmir Restaurant the nearest halal food to our hotel we chat and dine which lead us to more new adventures and mysteries

The Young Travelers Part 9

@ Shin-Osaka station, only today I knew after looking at the picture below Safiyyah looks tired, nervous and panic as she were behind and the last of the group...pity her so much
 People are everywhere and the weather is cold...the station are so huge. We came from the lowest level of the station and went up to the highest level for shinkansen tracks. Very interesting ;)
 Here we are at track number 7-8 heading upper Japan to Hamamatsu
 Really tiring and can't wait to board the next train
The young travelers enjoying every moment in the train...it moves really fast

The Young Travelers Part 8

The young travelers got a hitch of Japan waffle here, tasty and sweet, maybe because we were too hungry. We got two boxes of the waffle. 

 Enjoying waffles for lunch
 Spidey in the house....

 Last picture before depart to Hamamatsu...the amphitheater



At last, we brace ourselves to exit Universal Studio Japan. With our heart left behind we force ourselves to the station...next...Hamamatsu...

The journey continues....

The Young Travelers Part 6

It was like in the other part of this world here. Universal Studio Japan is celebrating 10th annivessary this year. They distribute stickers of Sesame Streets, Hello Kitty, Spider-Man, and Peanuts to their guest.


 The young travelers collected quite a few of the stickers and put them on immediately. They really enjoy being there although did not play much as they enjoy the cold breeze.




The Young Travelers Part 5

Welcoming us at the entrance were Woody Woodpecker and a penguin. The young travelers were so excited and rushed to take a photo with both of them. Although the wind were so cold but it did not stop them to enjoy to the fullest.







It was like no other place to be other than Universal Studio Japan. The park were so huge that made us worry that we would miss a thing.

The Young Travelers Part 4

We checked out early in the morning and straight to Universal Studio Japan. The queue was so long and made us think thrice to enter. Luckily we have not purchase the ticket. 



At last we decided to enter but we have a time frame. By 6 p.m. we have to board a train to Shin Osaka board Shinkansen to Hamamatsu. Its time to take photos and play around girls.....yeeehaaa

The Young Travelers Part 3

We meet again in part 3 as the exciting journey continues...

Right...its been hard where minimal English is spoken, but these kind hearted Japanese never give up to help you out. They will try their best until you are satisfied. Here I learnt a few common words to communicate, Konnichiwa = Hello, Ohaiyo Gozaimas = Good Morning, Konbanwa =  Good Evening, Arigato Gozaimas = Thank You, and Domo Arigato = Thank You Very Much. Nevertheless when ever I hear ka at the end of a sentence I know for sure they are asking me something only not sure what it is. This happened when we arrived at Universal Station where we kept guessing what the station's attendant were asking. Nana did guess it right, it was the ticket they were asking for...hehehhehehe






Hotel Universal Port is one of official hotel for Universal Studio Japan. It is great to be here plus I got a room facing the port. View is very nice.....want to be there again.

The Young Travelers Part 2

Konnichiwa Osaka

We arrived at Universal City Station at about 6.30 p.m. and it was already dark. The sea breeze made us felt like we were in the refrigerator. It was so exciting and so amusing as we walk through Universal Walk before checked ourselves in at Hotel Universal Port.

 We are so lucky to get on board a train with Universal Studio advertisement on it. Before it depart for Saijima (if I am not mistaken) I quickly snap a photo of these excited sisters.
 Taken this picture at Universal Walk just after exiting the Universal City station.




 The room is so comfortable and it can fit all of us. Safiyyah and Safirrah went to sleep with their beloved Che' Na.
 We took a tour by ourselves around the hotel. There were an aquarium of jellyfish on our floor. The colours are so beautiful.
This is a view from our hotel of Universal Walk at night.

The service by the hotel's staff are so lovely and so helpful that made our day an extreme getaway. For the first time the butler of the hotel is a lady that help us get our baggage and to our rooms. Lovely....the culture and welcoming guest cannot be deny the best I ever experienced....
