<Seventh Day in Japan>
1. I have roughly calculated that for the remaining days, my gf and i will have yen4000 to spend each day, covering transport, travel and other expenditure.
2. I have watched the Annual firework in ZinChao Temple (Ramen Temple), lasting for 1.5 hr. Excellent, and the most touching firework i have ever watched. 1,000,000 million firework in the air, with many jap guys and gals wearing their traditional dresses. Last year there were 1,000,000 people watching this event in the nearby area. This year i suspect the figure will exceed. Last time i saw so many people in the st. was the 71 march in 2003.
3. I cannot stop appraising the efficiency of Jap’s railway system. Even with 1 m people sucking into three railways, the trains are only 60% full on average, and people don’t have to wait too long to get away from there.
4. Jap people are very polite. Very professional.
5. Today is the end of my 7-day JR pass, costing 28300 yen (around HK$2000). Again, i roughly calculated that with travelling to kyoto, it worths alot.

i watched a firework held by local community last week. even better than that in hk. today watched the big firework on TV.
it’s quite interesting to observe the railway staff working. they acted so professional.
4000 yen is enough if you eat McDonald or fast food beef rice everyday…
節衣縮食…… 哈哈~
當所有人都一年去幾十轉的時候, 我竟然仲未去過日本……..唉!
