こにちわ Part 2

On the second day, I went to look for my Japanese friends after my tuition. 

Accompanied them to Arab street where we visited a Mosque. 

Learning more about Islam and Muslims through the Japanese explanations. 

The carpeted floor.

Sit on the carpets on the Mosque and I ask my friends to sit down for a HTHT talk. Hahha. Taught them the term HTHT too.

I taught them some Malay too. They now know Terima Kasih.

After visiting the Mosque, they went around shopping Arab street and I made them try Teh Tarik.

Naoto queuing up for it. 

They love the drink!!!

Went to Haji lane because they wanted to visit some special cafes and sit down for some cakes and coffees.

I think they love Haji lane much more than Bugis! 

They think that Haji lane is really beautiful. Got them to take photos along the lane.

We got someone to take a group photo for us and these 2 Caucasians came out of nowhere and joined us in our photo.

After taking the photos, we went to a cafe to rest our legs. Didn took any photos because I was seriously too tired! 

Food Appreciation Time -- Roti Prata and Hainanese Chicken Rice

I went around sourcing for food for them again!! Haha. Wanted to try more local food because I think that is probably the most interesting thing about Singapore. Before they had Roti Prata, they actually had Hokkien Mee. Naoto wanted them to try the noodles too because he thinks that the noodles are really tasty and he didn want them to miss out on that.

My Japanese friends seem to love our local food so much!! They love the curry and the prate.

And their verdict.....

They think that Hokkien Mee is the best! Hahha. 

Wanted to let them try Bah Kut Teh too but they were in a rush for time!

Brought them to the esplanade.

It is a must to see the Merlion in Singapore and thus, we were in the Merlion park! Haha. Once again, I didn take any more photos because my camera cant take nice night shots!!

Last but not least, we took a last photo together before they head back to their hotel to pack their luggages. 

My Japanese friends are only in Singapore for 2 days and I hope they really enjoyed their stay in Singapore. 

The Singapore Tourism Board should pay me some money man!!! I have been actively promoting Singapore to my overseas friends!!!

How I wish I can visit Naoto in Japan soon!!! I just cant find a good time to visit Japan because I dont wish to visit Japan in summer. I will prefer visiting in autumn or winter. I believe there will be more on offer during these 2 seasons. Summer will be boring!! I will probably love summer more because I can do more shopping! I hope to visit Japan in Oct which means that it will be autumn! Autumn is seriously the best time to visit a country because it's neither too warm or cold. However, I will be in the midst of my semester during that time. I can probably do something with my mid term break! Hahha. Winter will be too cold!! I dont wish to freeze to death! 

For now, I guess I will have to earn more money and save them all up for my travelling!!!

こにちわ Part 1

After sending away my Taiwanese friends, my Japanese friends came to Singapore too.

I was really touched by Naoto because his friends had initially not want to come to Singapore but he told them that he dont mind coming to Singapore alone. That is because he has longed wanted to visit Singapore and me. In the end, his friends agreed to come to Singapore with him!!

Met Naoto and his friend, Yuko at Chinatown.

Naoto and his friends, Shun, Yuko and Naoko.

Asked Zhixian to tag along because she also knew Naoto.

I brought them to Bugis to shop!! I suddenly found out that Singapore is really boring and there is nowhere to go!! Haha. I brought both my Taiwanese and Japanese friends to Bugis. Haha.

And none of them bought anything! HAHAH.

Zhixian accompanied the girls around while I accompanied the guys around.

Food Appreciation Time---Otah and Onei Onei

They love the food!! Hahaha.

Met a kind salesman who took a photo for us!!

Shopped till the evening and Zhixian had to leave!

The girls bought a gift for her.

Reminded me of the old times when I was in China participating in the Chinese Bridge Competition.

Food Appreciation Time --- Curry puff

Shun love the curry puffs so so much that he bought extra 2 currypuffs after he finished the one i bought him. Haha. After shopping, Naoto's friends went to the night safari while Naoto and I went around ourselves.  

That is because he thinks that the night safari is boring too. Hahha.

Food Appreciation Time --- Hokkien Mee

He really enjoys the noodles alot!!!!

Last but not least, a dessert to end off our dinner.

Went Clarke Quay after having our dinner and Naoto finds the scenary really beautiful!!

Didn take many photos after that because my camera just cant take nice night shots.

Decided to just enjoy the sea breeze and talk to Naoto.

I am seriously glad that Naoto is really supportive of me. Hahha. Shall not elaborate further but I just hope that I will be able to visit him in Japan soon.

Acting As A Tour Guide Part 3

It was the second last day that my friends are here in Singapore.

Decided to accompay them to Sentosa. Met at vivo city and I got them tickets to enter the Sentosa island. Minutes later, I found out that we can actually use our ezlink cards to get through the gates!! Haha.

On our way to the beaches.

A touristy shot. We got a Korean couple to take this photo for us and Amigo and I spoke to them in Korean. The korean auntie said that my korean pronunciation is very good and she asked if I did my exchange in Seoul University!! HAhah.

The girls enjoying the sun, sea and sand.

I joined in too. Haha.

The girls were finally tired.

Got 2 Japanese girls to take this photo for us.

And we took photos with them too!

I love interacting with foreigners!! I put all the Japanese that I have learned in Taiwan to good use. With a mixture of sign language and English, we interacted really well,

Anyway, the Japanese girls said that I am a "iki man"!!!! In Japanese, this means 花美男! HAHHA.

After being at the beach for around a hour, we went to play the luge.

Seriously, this was my first time playing the luge and I thought it was rather fun!!! Hahha.

After that, the girls went to Universal studios while I went back home.

That is because I had many stuff to do!! Haha.

Anyway, I really hope that I played a good host and they really enjoyed their stay in Singapore.

Looking forward to seeing them again in Taiwan!!!
