Day 19, 20, 21 n 22 --- 漢人, 史上最強的民族

Wednesday is the fire drill day. Reached office at 10am, and realised that almost half the pple in the office were taking morning off. Just hang around for half and hour and with those who came to office in the morning, we went for a coffee break in Starbucks. Chose a good location to sit and see the school girls walking past.

Talk cock and drink coffee and immediately after the coffee break, we went for lunch early to avoid the lunch crowd. Went to eat 焼き肉. Very nice. Just cook the meat and eat the rice, but ya, i think they marinated the meat so it tasted good.

In the afternoon, shifted seat. After shifting, the computer cant connect to the network and basically I cant do anything. So just slack around, buy snack to eat, wait for the IT support guy to settle the computer and so on. Ya, by the time he's done, and I finished up with my work, it's already 1930 and left office. Went to eat some very erxin 担担面. This is the pic. Dinner at 8, can see my fat hand
Thursday, boss took leave for thu and fri cos his brother from Finland is here to visit him. ya. So basically nothing much to do these 2 days. Again, hang around in office, read some guidelines and instructions of the company. Read till super sleepy, but then cannot sleep also. My new position is not as "风水" as the old one. The new position is nearer to the big shots and many pple walking past, cant sleep also.... haiz...

Anyway wait till 6pm and i left office. Really nothing much to do and ate Curry Rice as dinner. It's nice. Compensate for the previous day lousy meal.
Friday, this is the day my sister is reaching Japan. It is also results day. The whole morning cant do anything cos keep worrying for results. Finally gotta check it at 1pm Japan time. ya, it's good. Lucky, just that my Engineering Professionalism screwed things up, stupid Chew Chye Heng....

As for the afternoon, had been planning how to fetch my sister. In case you all dunno, Narita Airport which is the International Airport serving Tokyo is actually damn damn damn far away. Wanted to ask my sis to travel to Tokyo from Narita and I meet her up in Tokyo. But then she's like direction and navigation idiot and insist me to fetch her, so ya, bo bian gotta go... The worse is the last train out of Narita is 2242 and her plane arriving at 2125, any delay would mean we gotta stay a night in Narita, which is some 乡下 la... Damn... My little room is actually very cosy.

Ya, so after work, took train to Narita. Left office at 1925, change trains dunno 2-3 times. In the ride, slept and woke up. Took out psp and play till low batt still haven't reached. Then took a photo in the train.
It's really a very tiring journey. ANywya, reach Narita airport at 2135, my sis's flight is delayed. wah biang.... Lucky she came out of the custom at 2210 like that, so ya, still on course for the last train.

Cos it's the last train, i also cant remember how many trains we changed in order to get back home. Anyway ya, reach Gotanda and then went for dinner and finally reached home at 0230. Very tiring. This is what we ate. i like th meat, quite good food.


And my sister.... So in the end, the fetching my sister process took 7 hours. DAmn xiong la.

Saturday, intended to sleep till wake up without any disturbance as Friday is very tiring. But was waken up by my sis at 10am... So on the computer and search the internet to plan the day's programme.

First stop to 靖国神社. This is the place where the japanese soldiers who died in WW2 were being remembered or wateva shit la. Koizumi used to pay visit to this shrine frequently and angered the China govt a lot. Anyway this is it.

Somehow, when i saw the japanese pple paying respect to all the f***-up soldiers, so sincerely and so respectful, somehow this 无名的怒火 just burst out from inside. I can now understand why 胡锦涛 and 温家宝 they all so angry when Koizumi keeps going there. Really, as a 汉人, I think from the time that 明朝 ended till 1945, it was really a very dark chapter in our history. I am really proud to be 漢人 because we are able to withstand dunno how many massacres from the Manchus and Japs and still, we are now still one of the World Powers as of now. As Chinese, I think we should really try to learn, understand and appreciate our own cultures and values, because i do think that it's the best. There's no need to copy other's such as those blackies, Japs or westerns. Anyway, try to appreciate the Japanese architecture there bah...
This is me at the main entrance. And below is the shrine's main building.
This is the display of the basic equipment of a WW2 jap solider. Real sample. Got mess-tin, water bottle, SBO and so on...
The photo below is the locomotive of the train for the death railway... They called it the thai-burma railway. And also some fighter plane, dunno is it zero-fighter or not.

So ya, finally, it's some very jap style wishes in the shrine.
After Yakusuni shrine, the next stop is Tokyo University. The symbol of Tokyo University is the red gate. And this is it. Somehow, there is no anything to say that it's Tokyo U, so i just took a pic of the road sign in front.
And below is the Red Gate.
Went inside to walk walk and take a look.Every lamp-post there seems to have this TOkyo University stickers.
And ya, below seems to be their main building.
Ok, next stop, went to Tokyo Dome. Seems to have some baseball match in the evening, so the place is really crowded. Anyway there is this amusement park beside Tokyo Dome. Wanted to try the roller coaster there, but it's not running due to the rain. This is the picture of the track. It climbs over the shopping center lor...
And it also go thru the center of the ferris wheel. The ferris wheel is without axis. Don't ask me how it turns, it's just another piece of magnificent engineering.
Last stop, my sis wanna go tokyo tower, so I am there for the second time. Managed to reach there before turning dark. So just another photo from the tower in the day. Over-view of Tokyo.
Stayed there till 8+ in the night. Very very very tiring day. Walked a lot of distance. knee damn pain. Anyway, went to eat curry rice again, cos i think the curry is good.
More walk around tmr!!!
