Tour and See the World: Japan, part 11.5 - Mount Fuji, and some blinking faces :)

Tour and See the World: Japan, part 11.5 - Mount Fuji, and some blinking faces :)

One must always keep promises - and I promised that I would put up the pictures of some of my beautiful models, I mean, people, up on my site, so here they are: the amendment and additions to the part 11 on Mount Fuji, Japan! These literally are the people I tour and see the world with :p















Here is Mavis outside the hotel, where one can see Mount Fuji in the background.














This is Yong Yuan and myself, and hopefully I've spelt his name correctly.... I met him during the Japan trip, as he was in the same tour group as me, and we had a great time walking around and visiting the various tourist places. Once we even went out in the night, walking around the city centre, and we stumbled upon (I kid you not) a Singapore restaurant selling Singapore food... in Japan!















This is Mavis once again... at Mount Fuji itself! It was very cold at the top of the mountain!

Special thanks to my models (including myself :P :p :P) who reminded me that I need to put nice people into my nice travel blog :) Upcoming - pictures of Disneysea in Tokyo, Japan! When I visited Japan with my parents in 2005, we visited Japan's Disneyland, so this time, I went to experience Disneysea instead. More to come here on my travel site, so stay with me; thanks and cheers!

Tour and see the world - with Mavis and Shawn!

Tour and See the World: Japan, part 11 - Mount Fuji

Hello!!! And welcome!! I am back from my long hard semester doing six difficult modules, and I am back here to write on Mount Fuji. OK, since I'm lazy, I'm just going to post pictures and let them do the talking, since I can always write about my visit to Japan when I am feeling more hardworking. - I'm glad to be back - !

I don't think I've posted up my pictures on Mount Fuji yet, so here they are for you to enjoy! Thanks to my dear, dear readers who have commented and said nice and beautiful things about my travel site! I have "outsourced" some of my other websites as I'm busy with my Honours thesis and so I'll just focus on this one, and a couple more. I can't post pictures and write about beautiful places often, I'm sorry - but I'll do my best to upkeep. Anyways, without further ado: come with me as I tour and see the world :)















The tour buses and tour coaches in Japan, as well as in any large country, usually stop at rest points and rest stations, much like this one. Mavis and I stopped to rest at this place above.














This is the beautiful Mount Fuji in Japan, and isn't it picturesque and exquisitely beautiful? Sometimes people can't see Mount Fuji from the hotel because it's blocked by clouds and mist, but on this day I got lucky and Mount Fuji showed me her beautiful side.















This is the outside of the building from which I took the pictures of Mount Fuji..















And here's another Mount Fuji picture.

I love Mount Fuji; I hope you do too! Anyways, I will post more travel pictures and write more about my trip to Japan, as well as other places I've toured and visited, in future posts here on my site. Thanks for reading and special thanks to those who have nice comments, like Zara and the anonymous people who write nice things to me! Do pls leave your names and contacts, travel websites/ travelogues/ other travel writers' blogs and other info so that I can write back to you. Thank you very much and cheers!! :)

Tour and see the world - back!

Hello all my dear dear readers,

I've got an announcement to make about my travel site! Thanks for following me on Twitter and sending me nice, interesting comments and writing about my travel site; thank you very much! However, there is a slight problem... but don't worry, nothing too serious.

I haven't been posting pictures and writing about various places in Japan for some time now, because I have been busy with lots of things. For that I apologise, because some of my loyal readers have asked about my latest instalment of travel pictures. Japan is beautiful, where's Mount Fuji, and how about more pretty Japanese girls, they say. I know, I know...! I will have more time to post up beautiful pictures of Japan and all the other exciting places I have been to, and there will be many more posts to come.

However, and here comes the annoucement:

I am reading a degree for Honours (Social Science), in Economics (major) and History (minor). As such, for the next three months or so, I will not be posting because I have to work on a major proposal.

No worries! I am not abandoning my travel site, which has generated many visitors for me and many interested well-travelled or well-read readers who consistently ask me questions, give me comments about travel places, and travel tips. I am basically just taking a three month break from travel blogging, and I am begging your kind pardon. I am really sorry!

In the meantime, do keep your kind tags on my travel site coming and do contact me, from time to time. Zara, my friend, has already completed her education whereas I am in the last stages of mine (but there'll be more to come in the future, I can assure you).

Thanks for your kind understanding, and don't worry, I am merely taking a break! Thank you very much and sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Thanks and cheers,
your very sincere travel writer, travel pictures poster,
Shawn

Tour and see the world with me!

Normally I don't post travel videos on my travel blog, because technically I am a dinosaur/ luddite/ traditional travel blogger or travel writer... but NOW look at how high tech I am :) :) I have attempted to share some of the sights and sounds with you; you can view the pictures in earlier posts on Japan here on my travel site. Thanks for watching and cheers!

Tour and See the World: Japan, part 9 - Yamashiroya, the best toy shop in Ueno, Tokyo

Tour and See the World: Japan, part 9 - Yamashiroya, the best toy shop in Ueno, Tokyo

Welcome to Yamashiroya toy shop!!

Mavis and I visited Tokyo, Japan, and we had a look at the biggest and most interesting toy store in the entire country - Yamashiroya, the coolest toy shop in Ueno, Tokyo, in Japan! Apparently boasting of 7 levels of various kinds of toys, this is one of the best toy shops in Japan, if not the best. The interesting and cool pictures that I got of the toy shop might interest you, even if you're not an avid collector!
















Gundam is a product of Japan - see them all here at Yamashiroya, Ueno!
















Remember these cute guys? Pokemon, Digimon and whatnot... see them all here at Yamashiroya, Ueno!
















Since we are in Japan, I also shot this interesting Japanese model... model toys and making models and replica toys are important in Japanese urban culture for teens, I guess! Guess what I am going to say next?... You got it right: see them all here at Yamashiroya, Ueno!
















The vast array of merchandise and toys from all over the world and from Japan is bewildering.... see them all here at Yamashiroya, Ueno! Here, Mavis looks up at the vast quantities of toys.

And this last picture is the most important: that's how Yamashiroya, Ueno looks like! Be sure to visit this place as it's worth having a look at the many toys and diverse Japanese toy products inside. You might want to come here because it's a great place to be, full of youths and urban culture. This place made me feel at least 5 years younger! Haha :) Next theme coming right up here on my travel site, so please stay tuned. Thanks for reading and cheers!

PS I have a few simple and personal things to comment on - first, special thanks to my friend Zara who comments on my travel site whenever I post new travel pictures and new materials, thank you very much! Second, in my personal blog, I've become very famous - for better or for worse, I don't really know - but it's good to know that over here my beautiful pictures of various interesting places invites the right travel crowds! :) Third, actually based on the logic of economics, I should focus more time and effort into my finance and other more important sites because they generate more income for me, but what can I say - I love this travel site the most and I've the most feelings for it, so here I am again. Tour and see the world is my favourite site and I like writing on it the most, even at the cost of earning less money from my other sites.

Tour and see the world! Ueno, Tokyo, Japan
