and so... i'm going for another trip again

seems like i will be flying every 2 months for leisure or holiday! i have just booked a ticket to tokyo by all nippon airways (ana), scheduled to depart early april.

i am somewhat excited yet apprehensive about this trip. till now, i have never flown to any places further than guangzhou, and moreover, this will be the first time i am traveling to a place when it's not summer!

however, i am mindful that tokyo is the most expensive city in the world, which means, $ is an important factor. this trip is challenging for me considering that i am currently paid peanuts and due to the complete absence of a full aws or any bonuses, i will have to keep saving a huge chunk of my monthly salary=(. it is perhaps time to reconsider some priorities in my current life.

anyway, pardon me for the rant. i have decided to stay at sunroute plaza shinjuku, after all the great reviews from tripadvisor. at the very least i believed the hotel is very reasonably priced for its location.

nothing concrete planned yet, but some of the places in mind would be:
- tsukiji fish market
- ginza, akihabara, harajuku, roppongi, ueno, shibuya crossing
- mount fuji and the fuji five lakes
- hakone and great boiling valley
- some museums
- the controversial yasukuni shrine
- imperial palace
- odaiba
- rainbow bridge / tokyo tower
- etc. etc.

really looking forward to this trip.
