伊豆之旅
ok... remember guys, me posting in reverse-chrono order hehe... this happened of cos before i went to nagoya to stay overnite at the capsule hotel.
so for our second leg of the summer holidays, we went to Izu (first leg was hokkaido, rem?). well, beaches are real hot (in both sense of the word) in japan, with all the kawaii jap gals flocking to the beaches in their skimpy 2-pieces, we had to go there too, dun we?
Shimoda beach, in Izu, is one of the better beaches in Japan (outside Okinawa), at least according to guidebooks. well from the crowd, you can see it is rather popular among the locals as well...
have you seen such a crowd in east coast before?? or sentosa?
but actually, everywhere where there's a beach, there will be a crowd. Japanese love beaches. that's why the most popular holiday destination for japanese is Hawaii. why? i dunno.. must have something to do with the kawaii gals in bikinis... fafa.. (else why hawaii and kawaii rhymes? ;p)
only one combini and a restaurant in the vicinity. i rate this the best combini to work arubaito in. cos all the hunks and babes buy stuff in their skimpy outfits.. hehe.
group photo of us.
well one interesting thing i learnt. fiona, the gal in the centre, has a bikini fetish. she owns like 20 over pieces of bikini!!! i told her, hey i dun even own so many pieces of underwear!! okok.. hehe.. useless trivia.
after a whole morning and half the afternoon, we were fried and bored. so we left to tour around Izu, visiting the famed 7 (was it 7?) waterfalls. these waterfalls got weird names, those you see already hard to forget. but i forgot anyway, so no names.. ;p
entrance to one of the bigger waterfalls.
me, trying to blend in...
the waterfalls. and us.
also very interesting, we saw a mixed outdoor onsen which is just beside one of the bigger waterfalls. mixed, but ppl wear swimsuits lah.. hehe.
nice feel to it. too bad i didnt bring my trunks.
we continued our journey, driving around izu, stopping by interesting spots, on our way to nagoya.
ppl fishing...
... and we pose for a shot!
a few of us stopped by for a quick boat tour around the watercaves as well... it wasnt very expensive (at 1000 yen per pax), for about 20 mins of boat ride along the coast and in and out of caves. really interesting and nice, i feel.
going into one of the caves at last..
dark and moist, reminded me of series of unfortunate events movie, where the old woman went to hide in the caves hehe..
we then made one more pit stop at the supposedly famed lovers' cliff. were you had to walk 2 kilometres out to the cliff, to ring a bell for luck in love.
there werent any couples among us, so obviously we felt cheated, having to walk that far. the view wasnt even fantastic.
however, i guess for couples, it must be different.
see the couple so happy after trudging 2 km to the bell, and able to ring it 3 times, and trudge back again? priceless smile.
so what will the rings grant you?
"1 ring to purify yourself.
2 rings to call our to your lover's heart.
3 rings to devote your love, or, literally, swear to the sea your love!"
yup... so after which, we went to nagoya, where we finally stayed in the capsule inn.
hehe... let's see.. perhaps, i will finally post up some skimpy ladies from the tokyo game show next... soon lah... ;)
