Hokkaido....here I come
after the last trip to Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto, though mostly in Tokyo. i have been planning to visit Japan again.
it is simply great! food, people, warm greetings! all items you bought, they will gift-wrap. a package of traditional vs modern, eastern vs western culture, funky young vs aging population, etc.
it's still a long way before our retail industry get to their service standards but it's definitely a path that we need to go (let's see another 10years' time for Singapore's retail service).
hot spring (onsen) and stay at the traditional Japanese inn was simply a fulfilling experience. *expensive though* if i can afford, i will stay in another in my next visit (with great sashimi).
queuing up at Japanese sushi restaurant at 6am to get the freshest and best sushi is something that you will never experience in our country. could such a restaurant survive here?
all these great memories had past for more than a year and i am still reliving them like yesterday.
Hokkaido, wait for me in another 2 years (after enough savings). Japan Hour (from Channelnewsasia) is probably the only way now to be 'in Japan'. different types of sashimi - abalone, sea urchin, prawns, puffer fish, tuna, etc.......*salivating*
if possible, i hope to visit Japan every year.
