All work and no play makes us guys really bored. And so for the next 2 days, we're heading up to Kawaguchiko, also known as the Mt Fuji area, for a little break. Don't worry, we'll be back with the closing event of the Tokyo International Film Festival. I'm pretty sure a little travel update would be a good reading break for you guys.

Wanna feel top of the world in Japan? Besides climbing Mt Fuji of cos, THAT story will come later, Roponggi also boast an impressive sky deck for visitors to view a spectacular sight of Tokyo. Check out the video above to see what i mean.
Visit a fish market you say? Why should i, you may ask. Why to see the freshest fish caught at sea and see fishermen battle it out to auctioning them out. And the real man reason? The freshest sushi ever. Several eatery have pop up near the market and has been a hit with tourist AND the Japanese where you get Sashimi that literally melts in your mouth. Do not miss it if you're ever at the area!
In our busy schedule of movie reviewing and attending press conference, we still managed to squeeze in a little R&R in town.

Enjoy!
Despite the horror stories of the ever confusing train lines of japan, Tokyo has a relatively hassle free system of transportation. There is definitely a stop for every location u can think of.
Tokyo's subway network is operated by two companies, the Toei Subways with four lines, and Tokyo Metro (formerly known as Eidan Subways) with nine lines. Together, they densely cover central Tokyo, especially the area inside the Yamanote circle and the areas around Ginza and Shitamachi.
Trying to squeeze as much attraction as possible on our fist day, it was definitely worth the blister on my foot.
Not a jet plane exactly but an A380! The sweet plane, fresh from the oven Singapore airline plane that has a double deck. Having placing a seating choice of the upper deck, we had the privilege to pass through the 1st class section and what an envy streak struck upon me.
We made our flight smoothly of to Japan at 12 midnight, landing safely 7 in the morning. Time to be lost in translation!
