kancheong about x japan tickets

been busy china's itinerary,,now with swine flu,i will put on a mask when i board the flight ..and also when landed at narita airport. It is very crowed at the arrival hall..scully a mexico or US flight also landed the same time as me.. *kiasi* My bro gave me 5pcs of masks today..lolz..

A bit worried when i heard the news today mentioning China have cases of swine flu..i dun have Internet access on some days..zzzzz

browsed x japan's tickets at yahoo aucton last nite. realised very little good seats in the arena area tat are up for grabs. The customer who ordered 2 tix thru u,,omg,,his seats are in level 2 or 3,,soo jia lat!! To think it is from the X japan street army..my supplier said it was in the centre, facing the stage,but woah,,level 2 or 3....@_@" I hope the customer dun come and scold me... the tickets kinda screw up and delayed in shipping out again (something like this happened last year too). This time they ship out 5days before the concert date..for the street army batch..soo lembek..was so worried if the customer can receive it in his hotel on time... luckily today sent it to him liao,,tml can reach his hotel.

Sakura Season in Osaka

Received these photos from my supplier this morning. It is Sakura season now in Osaka. Soo beautiful!~ Sakura is blooming all the way to Tokyo now~~

Dear Vonnie,

Have a great, safe and fun tomorrow!~

Be sure to go to Ueno zoo,,coz outside the zoo, there is a long stretch of pavement that has sakura trees along the sides. You will feel amazing when you walk that path!~ Best, wear a kimono there to have your pic taken,,XD

福岡 イチゴ 明太子

A newspaper article on yday's chinese newspaper reported about the famous Fukuoka Strawberries. It said during Sakura season, Japanese will buy some strawberries and eat it under the Sakura trees. Oh, no wonder when i was there, there's aplenty of strawberries in the supermarkets and they were quite cheap, from Y299/box.

The article also reports tat Fukuoka is one of the major exporter of strawberries, fruits and green tea worldwide. The farmers had a better life because of the International market. Japanese government supports the farmers by giving them grants to innovate and buy better machineries.

Fruits exports worldwide will print "福" on it's packaging because it is a lucky symbol and also means their perfecture.

Just refreshed my memory. Fukuoka perfecture --> Hakata city.

I think it was in Hakata that i saw the dried strawberry noodles and many strawberry candies,snacks etc. Hakata city is also famous for it's ramen and 明太子 (fish roe?). Tried it's ramen but i think Sapporo ramen is the best.

Hakata ramen. I didnt know they are famous for it's ramen until on the way back to Osaka, i smsed my supplier to say i went to Hakata. Then, she replied 'oh, Hakata is famous for ramen." Heng, i ate a bowl for lunch. I feel it was so-so nia..

I dont know what is 明太子 until i asked my father host. He drew a picture of it hahaha...and the next day, he went to supermart to buy a small pack. I tasted a few bits,,err, it was fishy and abit salty. Japanese ate it with steamed rice. There are spicy and non-spicy type.

Yummy ichigos. Vonnie, pls buy some at their supermarts when you are there. it is really cheap.

What a coincidence, i was thinking which perfecture grows famous strawberries and then, i read about it in yday's chinese newspaper.

Just for smiles~
