10/01/13: went to Osaka - nothing really good there, and went shopping in Shinjuku
11/01/13: visited some famous temple in Asakusa, more shopping in downtown Shinjuku (gotta say, not impressed by the quality of H&M and F21, there's really not a lot to expect when they come to Australia next year) before rushing off to go to my relatives' place! Had a great dinner, went to their house (they live right next to a cemetery...really goes to show how land is so scarce in the country) and took caps for the memory! Had a really good night at their house :)
12/01/13: was all teary since we had to leave Japan to go back to GZ!! :(( after being to Japan, I can't help but keep faulting everything in GZ - the etiquette, airport, service etc.
13/01/13: more eating out with relatives -_- also feel like becoming vegetarian cos my relatives happily dragged me to see a live show of a chicken being killed..which was really unpleasant to watch and hear since the the chicken was crying in misery just before they chopped off its neck :( :( moreover, as many as eight chickens were cramped into one stuffy cage!!! Those poor chickens...haven't eaten chicken since seeing that :(
14/01/13: Hong Kong to do some mac shopping and seeing relatives!! Yeah, not as great as I expected it to be. Very polluted (pfft, good environmental control and hygiene my ass), people are extremely discourteous and unhelpful (got lost trying to get to hotel, dad goes to get some help and some dickhead salesman just pretended he was busy, so I loudly said "arsehole" to shame him publicly...what an arsehole) plus the smell of stinky tofu *retches*. Also customs and immigration were a pain to get through since all the arrival cards and departure cards were mixed together, just really bad service -_- metro not too impressive either... ergh, I miss home. After only 2 weeks away, "home is [indeed] where the heart is". I have never missed my cozy bed so much, eating western food, and the relatively clean air! :( anyway tomorrow I go back to censored GZ (no more NY Times *sob*)
