I actually lupa about this. I wrote this down in my Notes, so dia baru terjumpa tapi it is not a completed post. I will let it be. I shall continue bila ada mood. When was this? Few days after Raya 2017.
I am practically bored when I am writing this. I am not equipped myself with any kind of entertainment; so I need to brace myself for another 4 hours. Heol.
Having my iPod playlist not updated is not helping as well. So let me try to blog about my latest Japan trip. Oh it's only Kyoto-Osaka trip, no Tokyo this time. To be honest, we love Osaka more. Tokyo is way too congested and the subway line is hella madness. I don't wish to repeat that anytime soon.
How this trip came into picture? Well, I don't even remember actually. Plus during raya, of all times. Lols. And it's freaking Summer! Bila ingat balik, I never had a Summer trip cause we've been avoiding Summer for good. You know they always say that Summer outside is hotter than our all-the-year Summer. So why bother to go during Summer kan?
Maybe we wanted to try something new and ticket fares are normally cheaper during Summer and it's raya time. So the ticket fares were pretty affordable. Just nak tak nak raya dekat luar je la.
Okay enough of my bebelan, let me start to cerita about the trip. Oh this is a family trip, if I ever mention in my previous post, this year I will only travel with the family. As at I'm writing this, there is none a trip with the friends. Hurm, sis kena menabung balik. Tahun lepas all out dia lain macam. So kena hadap lah tahun nih kewangan sis ke laut. Oh and to those anak sedara and sepupus yang rasa tak dapar duit raya, saya mintak maap mintak ampun. InsyaAllah next year, saya akan cuba untuk adakan semula. He he he.
Okay okay saya start cerita now.
We had an early flight as our flight was re-scheduled to the morning flight. Barai jugak actually cause we came back from Johor malam sebelum tuh. Jammed kot so sampai rumah pon dah nak pukul 10. Dengan tak siap packing semua, memang ke laut lagi. Fast forward, kami selamat sampai dekat Osaka.
Kami terus direct Kyoto from Osaka. Guna JR line sahaja, so dalam 45 minit baru sampai Kyoto. Masih terang bila sampai Kyoto. Time tuh saya lupa how quite the Japanese would be. Senyapnya Ya Allah. Bunyi roda luggages kami sahaja yang memecahkan keheningan petang itu. Jalan jalan jalan dalam 20 minit, kami tiba di tempat beradu kami.
For our place in Kyoto, Ayah booked our place via Booking.com; Guest Apartment Ann. Saya masih lupa yang rumah rumah mereka sangat comel. Tapi still tak sekecil seperti rumah rumah dia HK. Okaylah rumah ini untuk kami berempat.
We're gonna have a long journey esok, so malam itu kami just jalan area berdekatan sahaja. Ayah claimed he can eat anything but the truth is he can only eat Malay food. Yang lain lain memang takkan dicubanya. Naqib and I wanted to eat the Halal Ramen, so we went to Ayam-Ya. We splitted up the parents as they didn't want to eat Ramen. Kami membawa haluan masing masing.
To buy the Ramen, you need to order via the vending machine. Then you need to pass the coupon to the staff. Within minutes, your food is being served. The staff is cute as well. If you decided to have their Spicy Ramen, they have 3 level of hotness, so choose wisely. I was scared of trying so I chose level 1. KAHKAHKAHKAHKAH
The broth is OK. Just nice. I mean, I could eat it. Not too spicy. Tolerable. But beware is suddenly choke yourself, memang padu jugaklah dekat tekak tuh. Sebab spices dia agak kuat lah. Oh oh I super love the Ramen, so so so chewy! Siapa yang suka kembang type, maybe tak suka lah kot. Apapun, saya suka Ramen mereka. Ayam goreng dia pon sangat menyelerakan.
Fast forward. Keesokkan harinya.
We planned to visit the insanely famous Bamboo forest and the Fushimi Inari Taisha. BUT I WANTED TO GO THERE WEARING A KIMONO. A kimono during Summer. Menarik.
We went to rent the Kimono in Kyoto Tower. You could get a promo rate if you pre-booked online. We didn't so we paid the normal rate. We took the standard basic package. Design limited sikitlah tapi redha je lah.
One thing about the Japanese, mereka nih memang teramatlah detailed and organized. Rasa nak nangis sebab kagum sangat. Jangan risau dengan barang barang anda, mereka akan sediakan satu bag so letaklah semua barang2 dalam tuh. They can be trusted, no worries.
Masuk fitting room dia, staff dia start pakaikan the kimono. Fuh, saya memang tak tertangkaplah steps dia tuh. Ikat situ, ikat sini. Dia macam wonder macam mana they all pakai kimono ni dulu dulu tetiap hari? Berapa lama nak siap? Nangis tak berlagu lah saya kalau kena pakai hari hari, alamatnya tak keluar rumah wei. BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Bila dah siap pakai, pergilah pilih accessories pulak. Pakailah terompah and bag kecil mereka. Jalan memang terkepit kepit uolls. Saya taktau macam mana nak jalan laju. Seba nanti kain tersingkap. Dia tak cantik lah kalau jalan terkangkang. Bila jalan terkepit kepit tuh dia nampak sopan lebih lah. Itu motif dia.
So saya ke destinasi seterusnya lengkap berkimono. Turun naik train in kimono. It was hot hot hot. Saya memang banjir. BAHAHAHAHHAHAHA. And we became like an attraction just because we're wearing a kimono with the hijab. Oh well.
We rushed a bit. So tak semua tempat dapat cover. Sebab kimono nak pulangkan by 6.30pm. So memang terkejar kejar jugaklah.
Malam itu saya dan Naqib ke Ayam-Ya lagi. Malam terakhir di Kyoto. Tempoh masa sangat singkat di Kyoto. Banyak sangat tempat nak explore. So for me, memang tak cukuplah setakat 3 hari dekat Kyoto cause it has a lot to offer.
Nota Kaki: I'll update this post with pictures once saya ada lebih masa.
