So, we met up at Shinyurigaoka this time and went off to Fujisawa and changed to Enoshima train which has the history of over 100 years. I think they enjoyed seeing all the different types of housings and also ocean during that trip. We then got off at Hase where the famous giant Buddha was. It was really pity that my Mum could not make it this time considering she would love to tourguide this Buddha. She loves this particular Buddha somehow.
We then walked for awhile to get to the money washing shrine where you literary wash your money (coins are the easier option since notes are hard to dry, but oh well, I washed a note might as well!) It was very peaceful all the way. We then walked off to Kamakura Station where we went to have a look at Hachimangu... the main Shrine in Kamakura.
For lunch, we went to grab some soba / udon noodles at the restaurant I went with my boyfriend and my parents last year. It was nice but I decided once again that I would always go for udon, and not soba. Soba is just not my favourite lol. They tried some hot sake which I did not think very nice but hope they did enjoy that first experience!
So, we headed off to Yokohama. It was a bit tricky to change trains as I am not very used to trains around Yokohama area. Ah, but how I love the city! It is so bloody beautiful. Awesome view! Stylish, pretty, just beautiful. It reminds me of Sydney somehow, but mostly because it is also a harbour city. Though one thing was very disappointing. The Cosmo town was not open!!!!! Can you believe it!? Well, I could not. I expected them to open every day just simply because I have never seen a day that they closed in the past. Whenever I went down there, it was open. But anyways, we figured we just had to enjoy what we could do.
After wondering around Red brick district and taking some awesome pics, we came back to the other side to go up to the sky garden observatory in Yokohama Landmark Tower. I think it was great! I am glad we did that. Although the price is high (in my standard. I am on a tight budget sorry!), the night view was beautiful. I really wished my boy was there with me though. It was that beautiful. All the traffic made perfect lights...it was kinda amazing.
I then sent them off to where they could meet up with my boyfriend who finished working. I think we really had a great time enjoying each other's company today. I am glad that I could have some time to really show them around just to show them how happy I was to be involved in their friendship when I was in Sydney as well as right now in Japan.
It is awesome that how people get connected. If I did not see and talk and go out with my boyfriend, I almost definitely did not get to talk to these great people I got to hang out with today. I appreciate this miracle random thing that life involves.
Tomorrow, I was so ready to work but it looks like I did not get it, so I am just going to be productive and get some job hunting real stuff done at home, in front of my vaio chan.
