INCEPTION & 5 THINGS IN JAPAN THAT YOU WILL NOT FIND HERE
.
.
i haven't been able to sleep well lately because i've been dreaming so much T__T It's like watching movie marathons but the uncontrollable kind because you can't choose what genre to watch nor press stop button :/
.
.
sometimes,i get weird freaky zombie dreams and out of common sense,i just ran for my life until i banged into a pole/wall/whatever weird things that doesn't make sense that appeared suddenly in my dream.and then i woke up.or so i thought.
.
.
cos when i thought i woke up,i actually haven't and i knew that when more weird things that was impossible to be happening in real life started to happen.and i just stood there,gave up trying to run HAHAHA and watch the whole scene unfold while waiting to wake up for real.i'm sucha boring person in my dream :(
.
.
okay i shall stop blabbering about that.

5 things in Japan that you will not be able to find here.
(hehe i know,i finally do this post cos i'm missing japan so much right now)
.
1.let's start with McDonalds.

.
.

.
.

.
.

super ugly duotone hair :s
.
.

.
ebi fillet burger and shaka shaka chicken.I know,the name for the chicken is so pretty damn funny but it's super delicious.and the ebi fillet burger makes me salivate longingly every time i see its picture of think about it T__T
.
.
2.Men in suit slurping noodles loudly in unison
.
there are many small and cosy noodle shops in tokyo and at areas populated by offices,you can see many businessmen queuing for seats during lunch time.before we went to tokyo,we managed to do some research(which is very little since we only booked the ticket 1 day before the trip and packed in frantic and throughout the entire week there i felt that it was so surreal cos i went crazy during the packing&planning frenzy) and found out to my horror that it's kind of an insult if you don't slurp your noodle in Japan O_O
.
i cant slurp noodles for nuts and usually end up making kissing noises.i am such an embarrassment.worst case scenario is choking while i attempt to slurp.super unglamorous T__T
.
but yeah.you can't find men in suit slurping noodles in unison in Singapore or Malaysia,i think?no photo of them slurping shown,obviously.or i might have been chopped into pieces and made into human sashimi by some yakuza -.-
.

our first meal in japan at a cozy soba hut near our hotel.
.
.

.
.

the 2 pictures above are what we ate for lunch on our second day at akiba after going back to buy my polaroid cam and it was there that i witnessed so many men in suit slurping noodles.
.
.

.
.


ohh!something funny happened once.every noodle hut gives you free plain cold water(even in winter)and it's self service and you see me pouring something into my glass in the photo above?it was 'sobayu' broth -.- the kind that people mix with their
'soba tsuyu' (soy sauce?) to drink after they're done with their 'zaru soba' (cold noodle) T_T
.
we both took a sip and went O_O "eh not plain water?why their barley taste so weird one?" and then i saw one person adding that into their '
soba tsuyu' to drink -.-
.
.
3.SGD6 or 400yen
プリクラ (purikura/neoprint)
.
it's expensive to snap one in singapore and it's not only expensive to snap it in malaysia but to find a decent purikura machine to snap photo is already a challenge.but sigh,i like to snap and keep them and i have a whole box of em' in my room.
.
they have so many purikura machines in japan and the photos that they produce are so so pretty♥ they give you free eyeliner and lipstick HAHA look at the boyfriend.

4.machine that masks your peeing sound

.
.
thinking about this cracks me up.apparently,girls are not allowed to pee loudly in japan.or gives out smelly smell when you shit FTL.i saw a group of girls(who are strangers) gossiping and laughing when they heard a girl in one of the cubicle pee O_O
.
so,you go into your cubicle and proceed as usual.but if you have the need to mask your peeing sound,you just press onto the button(toilets at different places has varying pee masking machine) right before you pee and a (very obviously) recorded flushing sound will play.
.
and the whole world would know that you pee loudly but have decided to play the recorded flushing sound to mask it.
.
.
5.since we're at the topic of toilets,i might as well continue with their mighty toilet bowls.

.
.
seriously,you shit or pee and then you press the button accordingly to clean yourself up.and then the one at my hotel room at that time has toilet seat warmer.
.
let me tell you,toilet seat warmer is like your best friend during winter.i mean,hot showers are close behind but hot showers give you super dry skin.it's like,you turn yourself into a walking raisin within minutes!
.
but it's still close behind cos you can't possibly rub yourself all over the toilet seat to keep warm.i mean,technically,you can but it's just wrong.
.
.
okay,it's late.i shall get some sleep!
♥ good night,lovelies!
