原來寫遊記真係唔簡單, 由揀相到構思文字(我仲係寫雙語!!), 少點精力都唔得.. 不過既然話咗呢個東京之旅要寫得詳細, 咁就唔可以縮沙喇!! 我冇帶相機去東京, 淨係揸住部手機見週圍影, 所以我部手機全部都係風景實物.. 好多相都仲喺朋友部相機度, 所以呢度啲相, 大家都唔會見到我喇.. 相信大家對風景嘅興趣多過我啦, 而且我發覺我當時個樣又肥又老又殘, 都係唔好獻醜為妙, 哈哈!! 點都好, 呢篇係遊記第二集, 希望大家喜歡.. :)
i realized it's not easy to write travelogue at all, from picking the photos to writing the contents (furthermore i'm writing in two languages!!), you just need lots of energy.. anyway since i've mentioned i will blog more in details about this trip, i have no way going back!! i did not bring camera to tokyo but just snapping things with my mobile phone, hence photos i am having now are all objects and sceneries.. still lots of photos in friend's camera, thus you won't find me in what i'm showing you here.. i believe everyone is more interested to see the place rather than me, also i find myself looking old and fat and weary, better be wise not to show my shortcoming, haha!! anyway, this is part two of the travelogue and i hope you'll enjoy reading it.. :)

前日嘅日本遊記預覽篇一出街, 就有讀者留言話「點解啲相咁細嘅?? 東京就係咁咋??」.. 我想再次強調, 嗰一篇只不過係個預覽, 所以先將啲相全部貼埋一齊, 而且寫得籠統啲咁啫.. 好喇, 大家要睇大大張相同多多詳細描述?? 咁我就唔好口水多過茶, 大家可以先選擇語言, 然後點擊上面張圖片觀賞全套相片, 等啲相片逐一說故事你聽啦.. 不過我要提一提大家, 我既唔係旅遊作家, 而且已儘最大能力寫得詳細啲, 所以寫得屎嘅話千其唔好見怪, 哈哈!! 點都好, 呢篇係遊記第一集, 希望大家喜歡.. :)
after i have published the prelude to my tokyo travelogue the other day, some readers commented "why are the photos so small?? is that all for tokyo??!!".. i need to stress again that it was just a prelude, hence i think it make sense to put the photos into collage and write more general things about the trip.. so, everyone wants huge photos and more stories?? then i'm not going to talk more here, just choose your language and then click on the photo above to see the full set of photos taken in tokyo and let them do the storytelling.. please be informed that i am not a travel blogger and have tried my best to blog about this trip in more detail, so don't blame me for the crappy posts, haha!! anyway, this is part one of the travelogue and i hope you'll enjoy reading it.. :)

剛剛由日本返嚟, 趁記憶猶新, 快快將呢一次嘅東京攻略用文字記錄下來.. 循眾要求, 我會嘗試為呢次嘅旅程寫下更為詳細嘅遊記, 同大家分享之余亦希望能夠提供有用資料俾大家.. 一系列嘅遊記就由呢篇預覽開始啦, 跟住落嚟會有幾篇更為詳細嘅post(當然相都會大張啲), 如果大家覺得悶嘅話, 其實齋睇呢一篇我覺得都夠喇, 呵呵!! :D 剛好遇著日本黃金周, 聽到黃金周大家可能汗顏, 認定四處一定逼爆人.. 其實唔會喎又, 第一: 好多喺東京工作嘅外省人, 假期都唔入東京, 第二: 日本人假期多數喜歡去公園, 第三: 就算人潮熙攘, 日本人都係非常有禮貌同守秩序的!! 所以話黃金周遊日本, 絕對冇問題, 而且因為係假期, 可以感受到更加多嘢.. :) 唔包括飛行時間, 一連四日都逗留喺東京.. 乘坐亞航(約RM1300)飛去比較靠近市區嘅羽田機場, 住三星級舊式塌塌米酒店(約RM500), 食街邊餐館為多加上行走範圍東京市內(約RM500), 所以呢次行程費用(當然唔包括血拼)大概係RM2300.. 馬來西亞公民去日本需要申請簽証, 可在駐馬領事館申請, 無須收費.. 申請需要呈交工作證明, 良好財政記錄, 日本旅遊行程等, 通常三個工作天可得簽証.. 我呢次拎到為期一年可多次出入日本嘅簽証.. :) 識得日文係非常之有幫助嘅, 因為英語並不通行.. 如果唔係, 識得睇中文都略有幫助, 因為好多地方都會見到中文字, 可以稍為認一認.. 日本五月春天氣候涼爽, 呢一年稍為凍少少, 白天氣溫平均16°C左右, 夜晚跌至11°C左右.. 大概著件我哋平時喺冷氣房著開嗰種冷衫就可以.. 當時兌換率為RM3.17換100円(約1美元換100円), 所以依家係去日本嘅好時機, 因為日元相對便宜.. 呢次主要出席一位朋友婚禮, 順道觀光東京.. 所以唔好驚奇, 我冇去迪士尼, 冇去富士山, 冇上去啲乜塔乜塔, 冇大肆血拼.. 純粹係好輕鬆嘅一次旅程.. :)
i just came back from japan and while my memory is still fresh, i may better quickly put this trip to tokyo into posts.. by request, i will try my best to write a more detailed travelogue for this trip, to share with everyone and hopefully able to provide useful information to readers.. the series of travelogue starts with this prelude, following will be more posts which will give further details (and bigger photos).. if you are bored reading too many posts, i guess just reading this post alone would be sufficient, haha!! :D it was japan's golden week when i was there, and you may wonder if there is too many people during the golden week.. actually not, first: many who work in tokyo but stayed outskirt may not come in to tokyo during holidays, second: japanese prefer going to park for a break, third: even if packed with people, japanese are always polite and disciplined!! hence visiting japan during their golden week is not a big issue, instead because of the holidays you may even experience more.. :) excluding flying time, i had 4 full days in tokyo.. taking airasia (~RM1300) to haneda airport which is nearer to the city, staying in 3-star old-style tatami hostel (~RM500), having meals in eateries on the street and commuting just within tokyo city (~RM500), hence expenses (not including shopping of course) for this trip was around RM2300.. malaysian citizens need a visa to go to japan, applicable at the embassy for zero fees.. application must attach documents like employment proof, good financial standing, itinerary in japan.. usually visa is ready by the third working day, i was given a multiple entry visa valid for a year this time.. :) japanese is definitely useful as english is not widely spoken.. else it may help if you know chinese, because you can see chinese words in many places which can help you recognize places.. japan is in spring in may and weather is cooling, though it's a little more chilly this year.. temperature in the day at an average of 16°C while that at night is at an average of 11°C.. wearing a jacket/sweater we used to wear indoor air-conditioned room is sufficient.. exchange rate was RM3.17 to ¥100 (roughly US$1 to ¥100), hence it's a good time to go to japan since the japanese yen is relatively cheaper.. the main purpose of this trip was to attend a friend's wedding, at the same time spare some time for sightseeing.. thus don't be surprise that, i didn't go disney, i didn't go mount fuji, i didn't go up any tower, i didn't go crazy shopping.. it's meant for a relaxing trip.. :)
