Hakone, Japan: Mt. Fuji

October 7, 2010

Mt.Fuji tour today.

We encountered traffic because there was an accident in the tunnel.

We went to Keio Hotel to meet up with the tour group.

Full day Mt. Fuji tour today which includes, Cable Way, River Cruise and Lunch

We also took the shinkansen going back to Tokyo to buy us more time in Tokyo.

Our tour guide for the day.

Boy, were we glad that we get a rest from walking.

During traffic, we folded origami.

Smiling faces, bus day today

Autumn in Mt.Fuji, earlier than the city.

It was also quite cold. Around 11 degrees because for every 100 meters up, temperature drops by .6 degrees. Well that is what the tour guide said.

Vibrant colors!

Part of the tour package is lunch at a hotel. So yummy!

Hakone Cable way

Well, Mt. Fuji was shy today so we didn't get to see Mt. Fuji. Too bad.

Well I think I will go back to Japan someday anyway.

Since we couldn't enjoy the view of Mt.Fuji, we decided to create fun instead. hehehe

Ang walang kamatayang jump shot.

This is Donna's version.

I love the hair!

KRIS KRINGLE: Something Big

I never thought it would be hard to find something BIG for Php 100 pesos ($2) I short listed the following for my fashionable friend: ...a big box of tissue (useful) ...a big toblerone (but this is WAY over budget) ...a big trash bin ...a case of big oatmeal cookies (last resort) ...a big mirror ...a big bookmark (which i couldn't find anywhere) ...a BIG beer (unrelated) ...a big organizer it's quite difficult really. But I must search for something else. PRESSURE! On a side note, Jamie treated us to Pizza Hut's Lechon pizza. After eating, I felt like I would pass out at any moment due to high cholesterol but it was quite tasty if you're a fan of Lechon (roasted pig). The pizza did taste a bit like Mang Tomas' lechon sauce. A big slice of Pizza hut's lechon pizza

How stuff works: Piso Bid anyone?

First of all, I am in no way, related to the owners of Pisobid.com at present (it's a small world after all) and I'm writing this blog because I like to analyze and figure out how things work :) I was reading through my Ymail when I saw this ad for Pisobid.com. The name caught my attention and all that was running through my mind was the thrill of bidding - Ebay alert hihihi. When the website opened, I saw that there were a lot of gadgets up for grabs, among the lot was an iPhone 4 which I really wanted but didn't have the heart to spend Php 40,000 for a cellphone. Upon closer inspection, they are giving away ipads, LV bags and GCs. Hmmmmm.... let's give it a try! I never did like reading instructions and policy agreements so I just purchased a 35 bids for Php 500 so that I can start bidding. It's actually pretty easy to bid, all it takes is a click of a button, money is gone. HAHAHA In the pisobid, you actually use real money to buy bid, in this case, 1 bid ...

Ironic Cafe Monaco

Tucked in one of the building along Banawe is a quaint restaurant called Cafe Monaco. From the outside, the interiors looked cozy and perfect for hanging out with friends but I was quite surprised when I stepped inside to find out that most tables were occupied by families. And people actually are willing to wait for their turn to be seated! Kudos for that. My basis for choosing a restaurant is based on the line/wait. If the line is long or the waiting list is long, then it must be worth trying. We ate dinner at this restaurant yesterday evening and I actually loved it! It's a bit weird though that the name of the restaurant is Cafe Monaco but they serve a lot of Korean dishes. My aunt said that the owner of the place married a Korean hence the menu with Korean dishes. We tried bibimbap and at first bite, it was okay but the more you chew the better it gets. Healthy too, with little meat in the dish. Prices are friendly on the pocket too so I will definitely go back to try out thei...
