日本旅記- 東京 I

今年三月，跟媽媽和她的一對朋友去日本自遊行。

十二天的旅程我們去五個地方：

東京，箱根，大板，奈良和京都。

很享受這次的旅程，尤其是可以從遇久違了的朋友 Yuki 和 Erina，還有在日本留學的可愛表弟。

由衷的，謝謝你們。

I went on a trip with my mum and a couple of her friends in March to Japan.

During the twelve days period we went to five different places:

Tokyo, Hakone, Osaka, Nara and Kyoto.

The trip is enjoyable and memorable, especially when I get to meet my friends from Japan (yuki and erina),

and also my cousin whom studies in Japan.

Thank you all for your hospitality, I'm forever grateful.

到達了東京的 Narita 機場。坐巴士去酒店 checkin 後，就出去探索探索。
We arrived Narita airport, took an airport bus (they called them lumosine bus....haha) to our designated hotel.  We then started our exploration soon afterwards!

我們的酒店在池袋 (Ikebukuro），步行五分鐘就到了行街食飯的地方。
Our hotel is in Ikebukuro, and there's a local shopping/dining area (within 5 mins walking distance)

我們都餓了，所以隨意的去了一間飯店吃晚餐。原來這家是健康食店，都是用清淡少油的方法烹調食物。這店的餐單每樣菜也寫上有幾多卡路里 （kcal）。
We were all pretty flat out and hungry after the plane ride.  So we weren't too picky with the restaurants and 've chosen a random one.  Then we found out this is a shop that sells food in a "healthy-style".  Less oil and less fat.  More interestingly, they've included the exact calories each dish contain in the menu.

有點搞笑，我就故意選了個蠻多卡路里的套餐。哈哈！保留鮮味又不肥膩，很適合剛坐完飛機的我們。
I found it quite funny to have all those food labelled with calories, so I've chosen a set meal with one of the highest ranking calories :P naughty me.....I do like the way they steam the rice with the oysters, and the sauce that goes with the chicken.  Refreshing and not oily, which is good for our stomach that went thru the plane ride.

去日本前也聽聞過當地的超市是很值得去的。還有啊，過了七點半八點很多東西都半價。
我們看準了時間就去逛逛了。那些蔬果都很新鮮, 這個是有機番茄。很紅很清甜。
I've heard long ago that the supermarkets in Japan are worth to pay a visit. More, a lot of things are half price after 7:30-8pm coz the shops want to sell off the food (veges, bread, sushi etc)before the next day. We visited the supermarket (Seibu) after dinner. Bought some organic tomato, perfectly rounded and fresh.

還有，半價壽司真的是超讚！還比香港一般的徊轉壽司的好啊～～
吃飽了宵夜就倒頭大睡了！！
I'm an absolute fan of sushi.
and these half-priced sushi is definitely something you cannot miss out!!!  They are still fresh, better than the ones you found them in normal sushi train stores from HK.
After the supper, we quickly let our lazy brain rest and sleep... :P
