Apparently, Japaneses don't mind queuing for good food too. Guess what is worth the wait?


Answer: Takoyaki (Octopus Balls) 600yen




It is finally coming to an end, we are going to fly back soon. We realise that we should have come here early. The people here are extremely polite and helpful even though we don't speak their language they are still willing to help us out if we need them. The country is clean, beautiful and scenary breath-taking. Let's hope that we will soon be back again. Thank you for making this a memorable and enjoyable trip for us.


























Day 11- Nara

We are leaving for Osaka, and soon it will be the end of our trip. We will dropping by to Nara, visiting nara-koen park, Todaji temple, Kofuku-ju temple, Kasuga Taisha shrine and the countless number of deers roaming around.

We were really lucky again, we got to see Mt Fuji on the train! Initially, when we didn't get to see it in Hakone because of the bad weather we were really disappointed but now we did! And on our very first time to Japan! The photo was taken while passing through Hakone.







This sign just outside the train station of Nara points to you all the information you will need to know. All attractions within walking distance.



But before we head out, we had to have our lunch. This lunch cost us probably around 600-700 yen for 2 person. It is cheap, and the customers are all locals. So if you dine where the locals dine you get to strtech your dollar!







They are all around the park, and you can buy deer biscuits to feed them its around 150yen.
