2014 May17 - Adelaide SEXPO

The last time I heard about Sex Expo was when I was visiting Taipei in 2009.
However, I was with a few conservative friends, that we had to forgo it. 
Their costumes were so worn out...hahahha...too much groping 
2 rides costing $5 each
Shafter is like a motion action ride. 
The ride is a simulation of a sperm's journey once ejaculated into the women. 
Errr..no comment on this ride. 
Maybe "waste of money"
Holding on hard rock  boobs
I think the biggest highlights were the stage  shows. 
This is my first time seeing it live.
Total eye-opener! Yes, I saw some "sausages"
No mercy for the ladies to.
She gave the poor/happy guy a wedgy & tore off his underwear.
She also "ate" her other girl friends. 
Ks & I were questioning if they were allowed to do tat live on stage.
A final looknat the shafter before I end my post
Bought a little something before we left

2014 08Aug23 - (Day1) - Tokyo/Kawaguchiko

We had purchased our bus ticket from Tokyo to Kawaguchiko town prior beforehand from http://highway-buses.jp/fuji/ 
No payment required during booking.
It was kind of a rush that morning to collecting our bus tickets. 
One of the problem with train stations is that there is no lifts nearby.
So with all our heavy luggages, we had to lunge up multiple stairs.
Difficulty finding the bus station to purchase our tickets.
And the counter lady was so rude.
On our trip to Kawagushiko
2+hrs and the bus seats were more comfortable than our plane ride.
Sights during our bus trip
Passed by Fuji-Q theme park
 
Arriving in Kawaguchiko bus station.
Tourist information center is really helpful.
They helped us call Guesthouse Sakuya for free to come & pick us up.
Obtain a free internet card FLETS, login and surf the internet for free wherever we see a FLET logo.
Kawaguchiko bus station.
This is also where we'll be taking the bus to Kawaguchiko 5th Station to start our Mt Fuji hike.
Guesthouse Sakuya transportation
Crazy group about to start our journey
Guesthouse Sakuya is located on the other Lake Kawaguchiko
Secluded and away from the outsiders
Good thing they put us ground floor because we were a noisy bunch
Japanese tatami room
Living room / bedroom all-in-1
Our beddings
The typical japanese style bathroom
Since we were not having dinner at the Guesthouse, we were able to rent the bike for free.
I had did wanted us to cycle to town for dinner, but after the car trip, it's somewhat too far plus the traffic and getting dark soon.
So we cycled to Lake Kawaguchiko instead.
Overlooking Mt Fuji
With the Ong sisters
Unfortunately, the front phone camera isn't as clear
Our bikes comes with a dynamo that is able to generate energy to work  bicycle head lamps when pedalling. However, its extra work when cycling uphill.
Guesthouse Sakuya does have an uphill that we had to push our bikes in the dark.
We located an Italian restaurant on the main road near Lake Kawaguchiko.
Timetable for Guesthouse Sakuya onsen (bathhouse)
 
The onsen was located on the back of the guesthouse.
The outdoor onsen overlooks Mt Fuji (didn't get to see it as we only went during the night)
Red = Women. Blue = Men
Rules on how to use the onsen
Everyone is naked in here.
Left side the the shower area and right on the hot onsen pool for soaking
Time to strip!!!
Picture time since no one else is here
Note : you are not allowed to take pictures in the onsen.
After everyone is all cleaned up, we "lepak" in the lounge / dining area coz it was the fastest WIFI area.

2014 08Aug22 - (Day0) - Adelaide to Tokyo

Preparation to our 2014 big trip to Japan & Korea.
As one of the days in Hokkaido, Japan, we would be travelling out to the mountains, I would need a international drivers license. 
It was really simple getting one at RAA. Took me only 10mins.
Our flight departs from Adelaide to Cairns from Jetstar.
The problem is eventhough both flights Adelaide / Cairns / Tokyo are Jetstar airline but during our transit at Cairns, we still had to collect out luggage and recheck in again.
Really long queue checking into for Tokyo whilst Osaka was barely there.
Really sad though as Jetstar International doesn't even have inlight entertainment.

After nearly 12 hours flights + 1hr train ride from Tokyo International Airport to Shin-Okubo.
We stayed at the Shin-Okubo City Hotel in Korean town area.

 
Hotel was slow ceiling but we're asian.
Nice to have separate toilet & bath.
Japan bath tubs are really deep. I think japanese people tends to soak themselves alot : neck deep.
Wonderful English translation for the toilet bidet, air-con remote control & WIFI.
Twin bed with only 1 pillow per prs.
TV is a small monitor on a table.
Window that looks out to another building (not that it matters to me).
I love Japanese convenience shop.
The variety of food is endless. 
Met up with Ray, Bee & Leng for a shopping walk at Harajuku.
Lunch
Shopping at Harajuku Asics shops
Beautiful colours and reasonable discount prices.
