Kansai - Universal Studio Japan

Finally Home Sweet Home here in IPOH... Praise God for this wonderful trip...

And of course, thanks to all of you who come by and commenting... I will try to reply to your comments (after all my packing is done and a snooze later on :p)

For this Japan trip, it was a 8 days 6 nights and it cost RM5,800 per pax. My girl and I went with some members of my family.... most of my pictures were captured on my handphone and camcoder....

On our first day, upon arrival at the Kansai airport at around 7am, we were whisked off to breakfast before we adjourned to Universal Studio Japan.... spent many hours there...


at the entrance...


this spiderman was stimulating..
i closed my eyes & screamed
esp. the part i was like "dropped" from the building..


and who is this? can someone tell me....


i just know how to hold them....

kitty cat doing their dance on the street..

to be continued...

  21. Looks like you had a wonderful trip. I think its great when one goes to these type of places and one turns back to a child who loves everything there and wants to experience everything as a child! Thats how I feel when I go to DisneyWorld. I feel young again and have a wonderful time. Very nice photos, like the one with Shrek!

    ReplyDelete
