Day 5: A Day Trip to Kyoto 玩游大阪(京都一日游) DAY 5

On this day, we went on day trip to Kyoto. Kyoto was actually quite near to Osaka, so we took a train to Kyoto. Kyoto is known for being a beautiful, historical city and I was excited to go!

在旅程的第五天，我们安排了京都一日游。
因为大阪和京都的距离并不是很远，而且坐轻快铁就可以到达了，所以我们就安排了让自己去感受一下日本的古都。

The Mummy @ Dark Universe Movie 神鬼傳奇/新木乃伊

To be honest, there was a lot of articles and interviews going on about this movie and how Tom Cruise actually did the zero gravity for real. Before watching the movie, I saw the trailer and thought it was decent. In theory, the basis for this movie and the idea of a cinematic universe of monsters sounds awesome. So now let's move on to the actual execution of the idea, The Mummy as the beginning of said universe.

我对于这部电影一无所知，甚至连预告也没看过。而且，我对于木乃伊的印象还停留在很多年前的电影上。因为倩雯很喜欢看这类型的电影，所以我和另一个朋友也就跟她一起去看了。

Day 4 in Osaka 玩游大阪 DAY 4

We actually supposed to go to Universal Studios Japan (USJ) on this day but when we arrived there were way too many people so we decided to change our plan for the day.

After much deliberation, we decided to go to Shinsekai. We switched the itinerary for our last day to this day. There was not much planned for our last day, it was essentially a lot of free time.

原本今天的行程是去大阪环球影城，但因为我们出发得晚，加上没事先预算那里的人潮，所以就临时改变行程。

我们这次来到新世界还有去找找通天阁。基本上来说，今天的行程是非常自由的，完全没有说一定要去哪里哪里。

Day 3 in Osaka 玩游大阪 DAY 3

Today is our 3rd day in Osaka. We got up super early and head to Kuromon Market. I'm super hyped because I'm expecting lots and lots of yummy food there. We went there on a Sunday so there were many shops not opened, but it did not dampen our spirit as we head there.

这是我们在大阪的第三天了。一大早，我们就去了黑门市场，准备来个海鲜早餐。
由于那天是星期日，所以很多店面都没开，但还是不影响我们的兴致。

Day 2 in Osaka 玩游大阪 DAY 2

On Day 2 of our Japan trip, we woke up bright and early and headed to a shrine near the apartment. It was called the Nanbayasaka Shrine. This shrine was a bit different from the other shrines because it was built in the shape of an enormous lion-head shaped Ema-Den. Here are a picture of said lion-head:

日本有很多不同的神社，而每一间都拥有自己不同的风格。我们今天去到的这一间就很特别。
難波八阪神社离我们住的地方很近，走路几分钟就到了。它最特别的是位于里面的狮子头神殿，大大的狮子头看起来很威武。

Day 1 in Osaka 玩游大阪 DAY 1

Our flight was at 8 a.m., but my brother and I were at the airport the night . We didn't really sleep at the airport, we just wandered around and had dinner there. Chin Yee met us there in the morning. It was my first flight (childhood does not count because I barely remembered) to a foreign country and I was excited and nervous at the same time. Thank God Chin Yee knew what to do because my brother and I were absolutely useless because we had never flown anywhere before.

I was in awe of everything and was even one of the people listening to the safety instruction thingy. When the plane took off, I was a bit nervous to see how far above the ground we were but after a while I was zen. I tried to sleep but I'm not sure how much I slept because I keep waking up. 

我们乘坐的是早上8点的航班，所以我们仨就约好了5点在机场碰面。

倩雯和她弟弟是由他们的妈妈载过去的，所以很早很早就在那里等待了。而我，则是选择从Paradigm Mall 乘搭巴士前往。

在一连串的出关等待后，我们总算上了飞机。我，马上倒头就睡了。

Our Osaka + Kyoto (1 day) Itinerary 玩游大阪+京都一日游

I have always wanted to go to a foreign country, in fact I have a list of all the places I would like to go in my head. However, I would always procrastinate and don't have enough determination to actually save up to go somewhere.

Last year around March, Chin Yee called me and asked me to join her on a trip to Japan. I decided maybe this is the push I needed and agreed. Chin Yee wanted to go to Japan because she wanted to visit Universal Studios and go to Hogwarts while I just wanna go to Japan. I also asked my brother to join us because he wanted to go Japan since forever but had the same problem as me...procrastinating forever. With that, the three of us bought tickets to Osaka and started saving for our trip.

日本一直以来都是我很想前往的地方，尤其是有了大阪环球影城里的霍格沃茨城堡后，我想要去日本旅游的念头就更加强烈了。

在有了旅游的想法后，没付诸行动都还是一场梦，所以，我就上网查机票价钱了。很幸运的，亚航在那段期间有机票促销，可以很便宜的买到去日本的机票。有了机票后，再来就是旅伴了。
想当然尔，我就找到了倩雯，而她也拉了她弟弟一起。

这趟日本之旅就这样决定下来了。
