And the best thing about them is, we can ( I mean we all!!) can laugh at the same old jokes all the time ( despite our age gaps... ah hemm)
so anyway.... we made our way to karuizawa for the weekend!
Karuizawa is a resort area in Nagano prefecture. ( about an hour on the bullet trains away from Tokyo)It is famous for its beautiful landscape, ski resorts ( hosted the 1998 Nagano winter olympics)
And when we got off the train, we almost couldn't believe our eyes!
The mountain across was evenly stained red, yellow and orange. In the middle of mountain, there was a white trail man-made snow with people already skiing!
One thing I love about Karuizawa is that, it looks just like a some filming site. It is littered with many small speciality shops and cafes. It somehow reminded me of England's bath. I guess it has to do with its history of the inflitration of foreign missionaries.
Some of the cute cafes around
We didn't do much besides strolling around the station... yah basically I am someone who don't plan much when I go travelling except for the basics like accomodation and probably transport around. My idea of a perfect vacation is LAZING around and discovering new things and surprises! (Carol! Esther and I really missed you so much on this trip! We so much want to go to Karuizawa with you as well!)
So just before we checked in to our hot spring hotel for the night, we visited this place call the Kumoba Ike.
and finally... The ugliest photo of the year (hopefully nothing worst than this from now on) I was debating whether to put this up... what if that "someone" chances upon it.
but heck lah!
That "someone" better accept this part of me too!
Is there anyone who doesn't understand what I am trying to do?
So that's for day 1... day 2 to be updated soon~~~
Ahhh I am already missing autumn. Winter can you please don't come so soon?
