Japan 2012: Kobe Day Trip - Day 9 & 10 (Final)

Date of Travel: 10 April 2012

We fell in love with Kobe. It took awhile for me to have the inspiration to write this post, as I was afraid I couldn't convey into words on how much we love Kobe. So why do we love Kobe so much? We love any city that fulfills the following:

• Comprehensive but cheap public transport system
• Easy to navigate maps showing all the must-see attractions
• A huge variety of things to see/do
• Food that is super yummy and varied
• A clean and cheerful city

The City Loop bus that goes in a loop all day long, for 650¥ per person

Inside the bus, there are clear directions in English and a very helpful conductor

Japan2012: What Did I Buy Back?

Before leaving for Japan, I had done my research and came up with a list of things I was looking for. We came back with a whole lot more!

1. A 20" folding bicycle (Brand: Switch)
Cost: 13800¥ =  RM524 + RM85 for baggage weight on AirAsia

2. Bicycle Bag
Cost: 2470¥ = RM94

Back From Japan Summary

Our trip to Japan was generally very good. It certainly served its purpose of forgetting everything about Malaysia for 10 days. We ate a lot of different foods, loved visiting the locals' neighbourhoods, and had luck on our side on many occasions including seeing the cherry blossoms. Did many crazy things like being in the middle of a typhoon and cycling in 3°C weather!
