It’s getting close to the day of departure and it seems that it absorb great amount of my energy that my vertigo and blood pressure dropped, and I had to skip work and stay at home for two days to regain my energy–something that I should have been done a week a go.

But anyway, it was a relief that we already applied for the visa and now we just have to pay our ticket and buy the Japan Rail Pass. But hey, if you see the photo above, there is something new there, beside my luggage….

Did you see?

Oops! it’s my boots 😀 I’m grateful that I can get it 🙂

Sorry, this entry is really meant to show off my boots. hahaha 😀

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.
