Still good lar... remember where it was before the pandemic...

In the days of early 2000s+++, travel there frequently for business trip. 

The rate was like 58 to 61, 62 max. During those days  really felt they are very expensive.

Anyone been to a football match in Japan?

Wife dragged me and the kids to every temple in Kyoto but never took us to a football match!

Japan have been playing football for thousands of years.

I imagine if they didn't have to wear layers and layers of kimono they would be quite good!

FBT shorts and a t shirt and they won't be so restricted!

Get more tourists into the not too touristy parts of Japan.

Too many people go to the obvious places and cause over crowding.

The golden triangle Tokyo Osaka Kyoto Hiroshima Nara.

That sounds more like a pentagram....

Singaporeans like what is familiar to them... the other areas not convenient in terms of transport and food... you'll never get half of them to move out of the tourist region...

When I posted this,

I knew only the more intelligent members of MCF

will pick up triangle 3 points and I put 5 places.

And I was not disappointed.

SG are the better ones and most of us have been to Japan before

and now we are going more off the beaten track.

SG are the more sophisticated Japan travellers especially those that go hiking in Hokkaido.

Worth going because not only very beautiful but its also the ultimate lesson in life.

Life like the beauty of the Cherry trees in full bloom is fleeting and only last a short time.

Enjoy life because its short and never worry about the little things.

Pagoda at Horyuji is the oldest wooden building on the planet, it contains some timbers that came from trees felled around 600AD

In the land of earthquakes and tsunamis.

This building has only one purpose to teach how to end suffering.
