Cycling Around Mount Fuji

Note that this photo is a posed shot. You are supposed to cycling anti-clockwise around the lake! Haha If you are deciding between taking the train to Kawaguchiko or driving, you can check out the car rental prices at   https://www.nipponrentacar.co.jp/english/user-guide/reservations.html   and train prices at   http://www.hyperdia.com/ It depends on whether you’re staying overnight at Kawaguchiko and the number of people travelling. Remember to add toll fees of about ¥4200 one way. We decided to rent a car but forgot about the toll fees so it ended up being more expensive. I’d say if you’re staying for one night and there are at least 3 of you, renting a car is a good option. If there are two of you and you want more freedom to move around (such as going to neighbouring places like Oshino Hakkai, Chureito Pagoda, Yamanakako etc) it is also better to rent a car. You should also be warned that traffic is congested upon leaving and arriving at Tokyo. We parked our car at ou...

As usual, our annual staff dinners are AWESOME!!! The organising committee rocks, the people who turn up rock... My office (especially my dept haha) RAWKS loads la...

The theme was Magical Masquerade so everyone has to wear some sort of mask...

Some of my favourite get-ups

The receptionists
SCREAM!!! This was one of the options considered by my dept but the girls veto-ed it LOL we were scared at night go toilet see the mask AAAHHH!!!! (^O^)||| haha
My dept boys... so cute!


Ah yo, must give v specific instructions for them to pose properly one neh!
Me: Converge your swords!!
Them: ??? *swords still pointing donno where*
Y: Intersection point!!
Then they finally got it... haha

Besides SCREAM and zorro, the other two considerations were The Incredibles and "We Go As One Another" i.e. print everyone's faces as masks and I go as you, you go as me LOL.
The act-cool pose...
Tailor-made capes (check out the embroidered Z logo) and custom-made masks by SW, hats bought by HM and professionally-crafted swords by ahem... me... haha... jon is serious... he brought gloves even haha... is YC the only one who guai guai wear army boots??? i realised we forgot to tuck their pants into their boots/socks!!

My bento buddy and her neighbour (where are his eyes??? LOL)
Phantom and his Christine... erm.. actually there were a few Christines after this phantom LOL
My padawan and me =)
These two are thieves I think... good-looking ones LOL
My personal favourite... the guys who have no money to buy masks they had to rob... LOL takes guts to wear something like K! Hope the stockings are new... eeeeww... actually to save money they could have bought those separate ones each one wear one side LOL
The door gifts lovingly wrapped (one-by-one) by the organising comm =)

Tokyo Asakusa with Kids: Kimono dress up and Kaminarimon, Food sample making, Tokyo Sky Tree

Image
When you travel with kids, you will tend to over-plan but it's alright, be prepared to let go of some activities because you do not want to tire them out (or they may become grouchy or worse, fall ill) so take it easy. Useful transportation site: http://www.hyperdia.com/en/ Although it is possible to pack all the activities into one day, we split it into two days due to the availability of slots for the food sample making. On Day 1, we did the food sample, lunch at Imahan and Tokyo Sky Tree. On Day 2, we did the kimono dress up and Kaminarimon. Food Sample Making Experience It seems that the English website for  ganso sample house  does not have the food sample making experience but if you click in the Japanese flag to change the language to Japanese http://www.ganso-sample.com/experience/ , you can see it so I emailed them in Japanese to book the session. Not only did my nieces enjoy the experience, my brother and sister-in-law enjoyed themselves thoroughly too. The shop is s...
