你说的不对。四月三十日-五月六日
Planning my trip home in December/January is fairly exciting, as it seems that it is possible to get it cheaper than I had imagined. I shall hope that everything works out fine.
Some more pictures from our holiday week of the International Labour Day.
Gold in the Shanghai Museum. Free entry.
Modern banknotes are way more convenient, as fitting A4 sheets in my wallet would involve to much folding.
Xu 小姐, vad betyda de här tecknen?
Our Chinese textbook concentrates on teaching us how to discuss differences between Chinese painting and oil painting. Necessary vocabulary to know when visiting Shanghai Museum!
Holiday in Tokyo! The flight took some 3 hours to Ibaraki Airport to the north of Tokyo. As the airport is very small, it can be hard to catch a bus to Tokyo. Making reservation to the Spring Airlines airport-Tokyo shuttle bus is advisable (the contact details are available at the Spring Airlines homepage). Showing a Spring Airlines flight confirmation on the same day that you travel with the shuttle bus gives you a cheaper bus ticket, 500 yen one way for the 1 hour ride (1000 yen without Spring Airlines flight confirmation).
Yummy Japanese food. Everything I ate in Tokyo was delicious!
At the Imperial Palace. Unfortunately it began to rain while I was wandering in the gardens.
The Pokémon centre (Hamamatsucho station) in Tokyo! One of the main reasons to go to Tokyo at all!
Euphoria!!!
"This is a Yamanote line train bound for Shinjuku and Ikebukuro."
Supposedly the world's most crowded pedestrian crossing in Shibuya.
A delicious pasta, pizza and dessert buffet in Harajuku for 1150 yen!
The controversial Yasukuni shrine. Japanese soldiers who were killed in the Second World War are commemorated here. As both China and Korea views Japan as an aggressor in the war, it is in these countries deemed highly inappropriate for higher Japanese politicians to visit this shrine.
Shinjuku, the capital of Tokyo.
Ice Cream City in Namjatown. ALL kinds of ice cream can be found here. Entrance fee to the Namjatown amusement park (Ikebukuro station) where this is located is 300 yen (only the entrance fee, no rides on the attractions).
May I tempt you with squid ice cream?
Or how about some delicious garlic and mint?
In the end I decided to eat some ox tongue, double cheese, black sesame and wasabi ice cream. The double cheese was my favourite, although none of them tasted bad.
The Tokyo Skytree, the world's second tallest building, in the background. It opened 22nd of May, which meant that it was not yet open when I visited it. The gold-coloured building is the headquarters of a brewery: the building is supposed to resemble a glass of beer with foam on top.
Last night in Tokyo was spent in Shinjuku.
Farewell Japan!
The plane from Shanghai arrived on time, meaning that we could depart on time. The 3,5 hour flight back was much more pleasant than the flight to Ibaraki, which was a horrifying experience indeed with constant turbulence. It was like sitting in an earthquake.
Hem ljuva hem, home sweet home!
