Today is the 7th day of my Japan trip or you can say Chiba and Tokyo trip so far. In these few days, I met some new friends and happy to see some old face again.

On the 1st day, Shima, Jen and Yos met us at the airport and drove us to Kashiwa. On the way, I experience a bit of Japan countryside. It seems like a bit different from what tourist would do. We went to stadium to play basketball and Shima drove more than 2 hours from Kashiwa to somewhere near Tokyo Bay- Ikea. It seems to be the larger Ikea in Asia or in the world. We had a decent dinner at Shima's home and Yumi came over and cooked for us. It was really yummy but even better Jen joined us too at the end.

I didn't know much about Japanese culture but I am now quite surprised about the people here are so claim and so passive. It is the first time I really feel and I didn't feel in my last visit. Every greeting is like robot in the shop and it just seems like what they must have to do. It is completely different from Hong Kong but also different from other Asia countries which I have been.
