2. Wow ! We were in Japan…let us share briefly our experience with you…… We were there on 29 March at the best time for Sakura We left Japan at noon on 4 April, too bad we missed the experience of the Tokyo earthquake measuring Richter Scale 5 …from the diary of your PWD-BCA Club “Tour Coordinator”

3. Wonder if she can catch the speedy bullet train at 300km/h Easier to catch a photo of Shinkansen when it is stationery We learnt that the bullet train is already 44 years old; indeed a technology feat back then in 1964. Still looking and working well!

4. We still have lots of fun even when it rain in Universal Studio

5. Club members from BCA, LTA, CPG and ex-PWD colleagues Lots of fun wearing Yukata after our public hot spring bath in hotel at Mt Fuji Start as strangers, now great friends Met local friends too!

6. Be in the Japanese shoes and Yukata. A hot spring bath and then dinner…that’s life! Members having a sumptuous dinner the traditional way For ladies- Learning how to secure the Yukata to avoid ‘indecent exposure’ For men- Their ‘indecent exposure’ is sexy….

7. Want to try this delicious traditional Ramen Which flavour ice cream? Japan- a country of vending machines! So many variety of food to try… Always sneaking out for ‘extra’ food!
