Tokyo Mega Web,Sensoji Temple,Tokyo Tower


Guess Wee Lai was trying to shop for the latest car model, but realised that she had not gotten her driving license yet at that time… LOL! Just kidding. Every visitor can enjoy different car driving simulators, admiring at the latest models of cars and buying them at the Mega Web, a giant multimedia amusement and exhibition centre of motor vehicles.

A futuristic car, certainly belongs to the future!

Nice sunflower car - this colourful creation is just like a mimic of those cars drawn in manga!

Japanese manga can be seen everywhere; they are simply part of Japanese culture.

The real Samurai swords are definitely not for the faint-hearted to handle! Take my stroke!

Sensō-ji (金龍山浅草寺) is the oldest ancient Buddhist temple in Tokyo.

Shirakawa-go Village 白川郷


Wee Lai visited Shirakawa-go Village, one of the UNESCO’s World Heritage Sites in the world. This small traditional village, located near Takayama, is also one of the snowiest places in Japan, with 95.7% of Shirakawa covered by forest.

The uniqueness of Shirakawa-go Village is its showcase of distinctive Japanese style of buildings called gasshō-zukuri, literally means “clasped-hands” style.

This night scene of Shirakawa-go Village is just so mesmerizing! Oh man! They look like yummy chocolate X’mas log cakes!

Tokyo Disneyland


Wee Lai shares her experience and photos taken from Tokyo Disneyland during her Japan trip in winter 2007. Christmas was around the corner in Disneyland:

Tokyo Disney was the first Disney Park built outside of the United States. It is now the fourth-most visited Disneyland park in the world, behind the American and European sister parks, the Magic Kingdom Orlando, Disneyland Anaheim and Disneyland Paris. (Eunice also visited Disneyland and Universal Studios theme parks in Orlando, USA!)

I remembered when I was in Tokyo Disney, Mickey and Minnie spoke in Japanese…they sound so funny to me!

The iconic Cinderella Castle in Disneyland. Top left: Watt Disney and his Disney’s alter ego - Mickey Mouse.

Minnie’s pinky house, it’s so lovely!

I should say that her blog(TravelerFolio) is definitely one of those you’ll get hooked up with. I came across her blog and I instantly had it bookmarked already. I’m not from Singapore but a lot of things can be learned from her blog and the way I see it, things will flourish for this site in the future if the owner continues to sustain her momentum. Among others.
