through searching up all these places in japan, i realise how much japanese people cerish art. like there are heeps of galleries. even on the mountain... and they actually have quite a lot of important works exhibited there.
oh i also found some funny stuff.
歌舞伎町は戦後、復興計画では映画館や劇場などが多く建つ娯楽街だったが、現在は居酒屋や飲食店、風俗店などがひしめき合う。歌舞伎町という名前は歌舞伎の劇場を誘致しようとつけた名前だが、誘致は失敗し名前だけ残った。
(from matatabi guid)
apparently kabukichou (where the anime gintama is set), was supposed to develop lots of kabuki theaters, but then they failed, so only the name kabuki remained (where its actually a place full of gangs and prostitutes and hosts)
through this trip i really want to see the life of japanese people NOW. how they are surviving this emotionally deserted island.
sigh still has more to do
oh btw HAPPY NEW YEAR~
man i spent so much today.
700 yuan boots
300 ish coat
60 for bag
20 for hat
120 for lunch
155 for pass and the tea fee at the tallest tower in shang hai
20 for dinner
this math is so hard to do.
i don want to see the total...
but i do had fun, so that is ok... i think
i am also already adult when i am in china.
man should have came during my b'day
there was sth great tpday,
before my mum told me i probably can go to Hokkaidou to see the Snow festival after narae go back to Australia. I was worried if that was the case I might not be able to get the air ticket back to china because once we entered febuary, all the tickets would be sold about because of chinese new year.
but thank God there was a ticket on 10th of Feb. He is such a great organiser, make everything perfect ne.
That reminded me about Feng metioning about the rightousness of God, for some reason right now that i know about the existance of God, I really never doupt about he bing right. Because if he is not right, I would not follow him. If he is not just, I would not follow him. If he is incompetent, i would not follow him. But these things are indeed difficult to explain because I can only express this through my mouth and action, in the end wether you gonna believe is your choice. and the only profe is Bible and through your own experience so you really have to seek if you want an answer.
well, if people still want to deny God, I guess can only tell them that one thing they cannot forget is that God is LOVE. we have feeling, and we were made in the form of God. when they say 'form' its not only the shape but also whats with in. God also has feeling, and he love every single children. he respect our will, his heart will ache when we choose the wrong path that may result in death, the eternal seperation.
thats why we wanted to give a way, a chance for us to get the eternal life again so that we can return to him and live in joy and happiness once again.
to tell you the truth, I miss you so much God.
Yesterday wich was the 28th of Nov.
I went to my Yashien Aunty's house. was doing my cross stiching thing for the whole day and it was tiring and boring and fun in some way.
After looking at my aunty's life style i am now really worried about my little cousin Lion. He is just like little homer simpson, just eat and watch TV all day...
I hope he would find a bit more active and meaningful hobby to spend his free time on.
But the good thing was that my aunty took us to this really high class teppan-yaki place.
it was actually my first time eating teppan-yaki even though i have been japanese for 11 years.
this place was also my first time having huagra? the swan liver? you know that thing.
it was nice, but i didn't really get why people would be so crazy about it...
i took lots of photo of the food i ate.
Transportation:
my dad gave me this chinese transportation card, which is quite convenient. but apparently you cannot put the card with the phone or digital camera or computer. i didn't know that and i think i broke quite a few cards already, hope my uncle can fix them soon.
traffic is so messed up, but its much much much better than before. like there are actually people follow the lights!!!! they actually stop at red light!! amazing~
Food:
i really don't know why but these days i think the chiese food really fill me up. like, the amount of food you get from 5yuan (about AU$1) can actually fill me up i think. man chinese things are so cheap.
and of course they tast great.
29th Nov
I went to Ctholich church with my uncle and aunty. this catholich church changed so much. but i really like the previous interior design better how everything is woodcarved. now it looks likw a church factory. even the prist sounded like a robot.
and the evening i went to a christian church nearby. their church was awsome. and things are not so different from the ones in australia. so i felt more confortable in this church then the other ones.
ok i'm really sleepy now, good night
mostely hang out at home, later in the morning my cuz came ^^ and we went walking around. also to the park i used to go to,"THE HONG KOU PARK~~" we took photo and things. and had a bubble cup then went home.
it was a nice day. it was so funny to find there are people swimming in the pond.
took a few picture of that too, funny ppl~
25th of Nov
I went to see my relatives, first i saw my 2nd uncle (i live with my first uncle). he is the father of the cuz who took care of me yesterday. my 2nd uncle and anty are both blind but they are real nice people ne. aunty didn't change at all, but looks like uncle got a bit fat.
then i went to 1st aunty's house, uncle and aunty both didn't change much, but apparently uncle nearly died from heart disease a year ago or sth. better pray for their helth.
Then my cuz (ok let call her linlin from here) accompanied me to my old primary school. its so amazing that my 1st grade teacher is still teaching in this school after 8 years!!!
i got her phone number, but i lost it.... coz my phone lost some memory for some reason.
On this day i also bought some cross stiching thing. they lookquite cute, and apparently its sth young shanghainese ppl like to do these days.
26 of Nov

27 of Nov
LinLin took me to RenMingGuangChang a kind of centrol place in shanghai. we went to the well known Museum (ook, i cant spell) and had a look at all these historical and triditinal chinese art and etc. they were awsome...eventhought i got a bit bored evantually.
for lunch, we went to this family resterant place. this place is much better than before. like it is sort of similar to japan now. Acutally there are so many Japanese brand shop in China now, even Lowsen is here, and also Ajisen Lamen. We ate so much =w=;;. man i realise people here actually eat quite a lot...
afterwards we went for some shopping.
man, bargening seems so..................i have no words to express.
like i wanted to buy this hat, the lady goes "its 75" and we are like "can we buy it for 20?"
and we got it for 20 yuan.
oh i found a word now,
rediculus.
well, at least i get what i wanted. which is good.
sigh i'm tired now, gtg sleep for now.
