I know my trip was end. But, in this part, I will share about something that I've never explained yet. However, I just want to share a little bit more. Something that I got from my trip whilst I was in Japan. I hope some of them are useful still :D
Well, let's start from the local currency. Yen. Yes, in Japan, they use yen as their local currency. If I converted to my local currency (rupiah), 1 yen is equal as IDR 100, whilst in USD, 1 dollar is about 100 yen. What a converse!
They have some nominal which is 10.000 yen, 5.000 yen, 1.000 yen, 100 yen, 50 yen, 10 yen, 5 yen, and 1 yen.

Anyway, I have an experience about this currency. When I bought something in the mini market, my total expenses about 501 yen. I thought they will make it 500 as 1 yen is a rounding cost. It usually happen in mini market / supermarket in Indonesia. But it didn't in Japan though. When I paid by 1000 yen, they gave me back 499 yen, O-M-G! How 1 yen is really important for them. It is really things that doesn't happen in Indonesia.
Second, about bicycle parking area. I found this exactly beside my hotel. At first, I thought I could rent it, but it couldn't. Because the bicycle has the "owner", lol. In Indonesia, I can find this in Bandung, Jawa Barat.

However I live in Jakarta,
the capital city of Indonesia. There are some people are using bicycle,
but as I know, there isn't a special bicycle parking area like this.
Anyway, I used shoes when I went to Japan (from Jakarta until the hotel in the first day). It because I still had to go to office first for an company event. But, using shoes weren't comfortable at all. So, after I arrived at hotel, I went to the mall beside the hotel and searched for a pair of sandals. And I only paid for 105 yen though. That was cheap for cute sandals like mine ;)

My own story about wearing shoes in Japan. Whilst I went to some places, I saw a lot of varieties of woman shoes. High heels, boots, wedges, flat shoes, a lot of models. I thought that was only me who wearing the sandals. He he he. Perhaps by wearing sandals it doesn't look sexy or it looks not fashionable at all. But, in my opinion, my comfortable is the number one as I walked from one place to another places.
Talking about fashion, I have to admit that I adore Japanese fashion style. Everyday I saw a lot of people who is wearing very interesting models of their shoes, or dress, or hair models or even the color of their hair. It was so much attractive for me. Some people dress like a doll, so cute!
I wondered that some (almost all), they using high heels and walking so fast though. Aww, how come they hold the sore of their feet? I couldn't imagine that.
Then, another things that I like when I was in Japan: Water Closet (WC)! To be honest, when I was in Australia, I was really uncomfortable using the WC. It because they have no water to rinse after pee or puppy. But it converse when I was in Japan. The WC really treated me so really good.
Look at the button symbol. They have plenty button though! For pee, puppy, and it also has a level of pressure water. Very very nice!

| WC ala Japan. I really love it so much! |
As long as I stayed in Japan, this is one thing that I always bring whenever I go. My wallet :)

| My Wallet -Indonesian home made: Batik- |
This wallet suitable for my passport, 2 cellular phone, and my money indeed. And I was so proud using my traditional home made from Indonesia in Japan. That is Indonesia heritage :)
After came back to Indonesia, I am now taking a Japanese course to learn Japanese. I know there is no late time to learn something as long as we have passion and motivation to do that.

Since I was in Japan, I never throw my receipt away, so I just keep it instead. I feel like it a part of my memories inside.

| Receipts, Maps, Photos. There are still good in my diary :) |
See you in another place, another country as soon as possible :)
Love,
