Things That Excite Me about Japan

"Welcome to Japan!"

I told you earlier that I'm making this things that excite me series. I start with Japan. Why Japan? Never been to the country, bu it's on top of my Asian countries to visit list.
My interest on Japan started when I was a little girl. I heard in the news that Lady Di and Prince Charles were visiting. I still remember one of the dress she wore, a white dress with red polkadots on it, really nice.
So here is my list of things that excite me much about Japan:
• The cherry blossom
Really a must see because Japan is always about cherry blossom ☺
• Sushi
Must eat original Japanese sushi with fresh ingredients and tasty soyu. Hmmm…
• Depapepe
I love their music so much, hope I can catch one of their showcases.
• The bullet train
300 km/hour ride, must be as exciting as riding a rollercoaster ☺ should try this fast and clean transportation mode.
• Street fashion
I don’t agree much on Harajuku style, but I certainly am open to some fashion ideas. Would like to have a nice pic in one of those yukatas though ☺
• Tokyo Disneyland
It’s never wrong to visit Mickey and his friends whenever you can.
• Nice city and nature view

•Girls in yukata •Yummy sushi •Torii Gate (Itshukushima Shinto Shrine, Miyajima Island) •Bullet Train in Shinkasen •Neon lights in Shinjuku (Yasukuni Dori & Kabukicho)

Sakura/cherry blossom. It looks like snow when the petals fall.

La Vita e Bella

Halo again, I’ve just had a brilliant idea, actually it’s more like a challenge to myself. It is to write the “Things That Excite Me” series. Got the idea when I met “Bumblebee” on my way to the office, it was really exciting. It made me want to jump up and down (which was quite hard to do while you were driving) just to see a glimpse of its yellow colour. It cheered me up all the sudden. Yup, I've always been so interested in cars, but who doesn't?☺ And it excites me even more when the next day at the very same spot I ran into a red sparkling glittery (okay I'm exaggerating a bit) Mazda RX-8. La vita e bella!
