The Best Train Experience!

Alright I just had an 11 hour train ride so I'm kinda tired. BUT, I have to blog. If not the feeling would be gone!!! Hehehe. Along the way, there will be some photos!! :D

This was taken in the plane. Didn't really have a good sleep. The plane is too noisy and it was so hot!! Thus, the grumpy face. Hehehehe.

So we landed in Narita Airport and I took my very first train ride - Narita Express! The moment t arrived, I was like, "Wah!" Hehehe. Malcolm said it was done 3 months ago so everything is new. Sweet!

The happy faces. Hehehe. This train was going towards Tokyo.

At Tokyo, we bought food to prepare for our 9 hour train ride. Phew, come to think of it, we've come a long long way!!! The friendly staff happily helping out a commuter to enter the gates.

Can you beat this?! MUAHAHAHAHA! We took the shinkansen (bullet train)!!! It was like seriously fast. Enough said. Hahaha.

Enjoying my origiri on the shinkansen...

My bento box lunch!!!!

After 4 hours, we had to change to this leisure train. It's really nice because the windows are of a paranormal view. Wanted to have the box seat as showed in the photo below, but it was full :( So we had to stick to the normal seats. But it wasn't bad as well!!

Not forgetting having the view of the train driver!! We were just so fascinated on how he works!

Here you go, the shirakama resort train!! :)

Along the way, the travelled by the beach so we could see the sea and the beautiful sunset :)

Finally reached our destination blah blah. Settled in our hotel and headed to Aomori from Hirosaki. This is the typical local train. When the train is at rest, it is DEAD SLIENT. Mal and I didnt dare to talk or anything. Hahaha.

So that sums up my first day in Northern Japan. Really tired so, nights!!!
