Day 1
set off to changi airport early in the morning for ANA (All Nippon Airway) flight.
and took a few pictures in the airport.. christmas decorations and zi pai.. haha.. of course is i take de..
den we arrived at Japan's Narita Airport at around 4pm (Jap time).. and it was sunset already.. lol.. so fast... so according to instructions from uncle philip, we proceed to purchase our train ticket into Tokyo, Ueno.. haha
this train has 2 different kinds, one is 1000yen while another is more expensive.. its difference is that one is more comfortable than another.. haha.. so we purchased the 1000yen train tickets, and we happily board the train that we saw at platform.. HAHA... u know what's going happen next..
firstly, we board the last cabin, which permits smoking and we don't know!! omg.. it stinks.. anyway.. japanese smokers bring their own 烟灰缸 to smoke.. dott.. haha.. first time see that.. we changed to the next cabin and realise that the first and last cabin allow smoking while the others ban smoking.. omg..
second!! my brother realised that our train tickets look different from the other passengers!!!! haha.. and die.. the train officer came and check and realise.. we board the WRONG train! we board de comfortable one.. hey... how i know that is comfortable one since i didnt see the less comfortable train to compare.. haha.. lol.. so we "chicken and duck talk" one round.. and settled by paying the balance.. haha.. super funny okay? so xia suay... thought will kena throw out of train.. hai hao japanese are well-mannered and patient.. haha.. phew..
wrong ticket:
emergency ticket:
den we met uncle philip and auntie poey kee and take metro to roppongi (where we stay)..
