JAPAN TRIP June 9th - 22nd

What hits you as soon as you enter JAPAN is the sheer pace at which life moves on . People are always on their toes , silently moving around you like a whiff of wind , one moment here next moment there and * Puff * they disappear . What hits you next is the amount of automation that has to be juggled in everyday life. From getting a bus / train ticket to turning the light on in the room the Japs have found the most convinient way of doing things.

KOBE

A View of Downtown Kobe



For two weeks we stayed in this city. One of the commercial hubs of JP. This city has a huge population density . The land is sandwiched between the Rokko mountains and the sea. So, once they ran out of land they simply floated an artificial island and continued to expand !





Some of My Memorable moments in Kobe.


1) Spotting Swift on the roads of Kobe.


2) Enjoying the Road side rock band .


3) Trip for the tastebuds (Tasted :- Italian , Japanese , Turkish , Thai food).


4) Walk along the shopping streets of Kobe


5) Kawasaki Museum Visit
