Dum dum dum^^ The day we depart has been decided.

We already booked the airplane.

Each of our boss had give us permission to take the leave.

 YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!

 HAPPY!!!

But, there is still so much things to do. So many things to be fixed. So much things to buy from wanting to look good on this trip. So much things to keep our eyes on, such as necessary reservation to book hotel and all of that. But still, being of what we are, we still pick our own cozy place to hold a meeting.

Hahah, so Burger and Grill restaurant is the choice.

It was 6.30 p. m. after work, 4 January 2010. We got off from the train station, going to print the photo for visa, and then walk a bit to reach the restaurant that we think cozy enough to discuss everything. But of course it started with picking up the menu. We chose, then after the waitress take the notes of our order and left us, without anybody telling, we take our own bags and put the all necessary visa application letter on the table.

Silly, huh. But’s it’s just a draft with pencil so it’s oke to put it together with a glass of ice lemon tea 😀 The meeting begin. The stay in Kusatsu for one night is fixed here. The schedule for Kyoto and Osaka already fixed on the other meeting in my house two days before, but with all this list and visa application, metting wa sansei!!  😀

Inside the train, when we’re heading to watch New Moon, 26 November 2009, we were thinking about going to Japan without waiting for the concert anymore. The Johnny’s have not release any schedule yet until today and that made us somehow OKHHH><… So we sort of decided to depart on early January or early February.

THE AIRPLANE TICKET

And last week, 19 December 2009, I somehow felt nervous about our airplane ticket. I had been asking to one travel agent whether there will be a promo ticket for our February departure, but they tell us that I should wait until early January to know whether there is any cheap ticket to go there. For me, the price of the ticket matters a lot and I suddenly love the term “budget traveller” because we are them. I am looking to each airplane website to get to know what’s the price for February departure. As for Japan, February is categorized as a low season and the airplane ticket will not be high. We found out that the choice for us were Malaysia Airline, Singapore Airline, Korean Air, Philippine Air, Chatay Pacific, Garuda Indonesia, and of course JAL. But we checked all of them in two days of weekend. We call their office on Monday and Tuesday to check and asking question.

It was not until my friend call my office with excited voice, saying one of the above airplanes is having a promo ticket and it is even more cheaper than the usually cheap one. oh YAY!!!! I call my other friend to say about this and i can even hear her giggle, squeaking, or anything. All we know is that the burden in our head about our airplane ticket is somehow became lighter.

We are a part of this young generation in Jakarta who like to observe the lifestyle, music, anime, dorama, and movie from Japan. But not until we found this Japanese boyband named NEWS, who was debuted by the  Johnny’s Entertainment Agency, we somehow develop this guilty pleasure which lead us to have a strong determination toward having a trip to Japan without missing the NEWS Concert.

Hehehe^^

Okay, maybe it is better to stop mentioning about NEWS for now before I started to write love poem for one specific member 😀

Eh

Okay. This blog. What we want to do with this blog is to describe every details we met during the planning of our trip and of course, most importantly, the details of the trip itself, and hopefully, it will be continued with plans to the next destination .

We love planning our trip. It was so exciting that we stole some times during lunchbreak in the office to chat and exchanging links about what will be exciting to do, to see, and to visit by the time we go to Japan. We are so glad that there is internet and there is an english language. We got so much information regarding the airplane ticket, the transportation route in Japan, the place to visit, the right style of fashion to wear, the weather, all of them are so helpful that we found ourselves making this exact minimum budget arrangement more easily.

Lastly, I hope that this will be an interesting blog. See you in the next entry!!!
