Hey guys I'm back from Japan, Tokyo! The highest temperature there is at 8 degrees, lowest at abt 2 degrees. It's really chilly when the wind blows. In winter, they have shorter daylight-saving, hence the sky is dark at abt 5pm. Their subways are also complicated with many different lines available. Their exists are confusing with as many as 60 in a station. However, one will get comfortable when he/she get the hands of how everything works and links.
Politeness and helpfulness is implicited in their genes. It comes naturally which makes Japan a welcoming country. I had no problem asking for directions from the street people, police etc, and the hoteliers are friendly and approachable. Although my hotel is located in a redlight district area, i have to say i enjoyed the nightlife and my stays are wonderful.
I saw their cultured "Ah Bang" and they are much better looking, groomed and styled then those we had in Singapore. In short, their presence ain't annoying. The gals are pretty almost like a doll, they really knew how to dress and makeup. There are many convenient stores, restaurants and fastfood outlets in the area of Shinjuku. The food are not as expensive as i expected. Their japanese food can be purchased at as little as 450 yen, their macdonalds set meal at abt 580 yen. I love their breads and chocolates which range between 105-200 yen.
Tokyo is a big city with highclass shopping, buildings and parks. I love the serenity and boardness of their park. It's amazing and gorgeous. I definitely do not mind spending hours at the park reading, jogging or picnic (of coz not in winter!) Mostly businessman, their proficiency in English is superb. Haha i knew becoz my dad randomly asked one of them for guide to the tokyo station, and he picked a really handsome guy to ask :P
In conclusion, guys do not be afraid to go to Japan. It's not as expensive as you think besides the transportation. Most of them know simple english and are generally helpful. Do not miss out Japan for anything in the world...it's a beautiful and civilised country.
