PWD- BCA Club TourJapan- 29 March to 4 April 08

Wow ! We were in Japan…let us share

briefly our experience with you……

We were there on 29 March at the best time for Sakura

We left Japan at noon on 4 April, too bad we missed the

experience of the Tokyo earthquake measuring Richter

Scale 5

…from the diary of your PWD-BCA Club “Tour Coordinator”

Wonder if she can catch the speedy

bullet train at 300km/h

Easier to catch a photo of Shinkansen when it is

stationery

We learnt that the bullet train is already 44 years old;

indeed a technology feat back then in 1964. Still looking and

working well!

We still have lots of fun even when it rain in Universal Studio

Club members from BCA, LTA, CPG and ex-PWD colleagues

Lots of fun wearing Yukata after our public hot spring bath in hotel at Mt Fuji

Start as strangers, now great friends

Met local friends too!

Be in the Japanese shoes and Yukata.

A hot spring bath and then dinner…that’s life!

Members having a sumptuous dinner the traditional way

For ladies- Learning how to secure the Yukata to avoid ‘indecent exposure’

For men- Their ‘indecent exposure’ is sexy….

Want to try this delicious traditional Ramen

Which

flavour ice

cream?

Japan- a country of vending machines!

So many variety of food to try…

Always sneaking out for ‘extra’ food!

Full bloom Sakura! And other flowers

too. They are everywhere….so

beautiful!

Lots of shopping

Lots of shopping, 500 shops at

Nakamise Shopping street!

Lost in the sea of people in

Pasar Malam!

Amazing timber

structure

Preservation of a tree! The building

has to be designed around

it

A natural green roof
