explained the history of Kamakura and the birth of shogun. There are many Buddha statutes around the cityand the one that went to see was called Kamakura Daibutsu or the Great Buddha of Kamakura. It is a hugebronze Buddha statue in the middle of the city.As the day ended, we went to the beach nearby and enjoyed ourselves there. People were sunbathingand swimming but we did not as none of us had brought our swimsuits. Later we went to the major shoppingstreet in central Kamakura. There was a lot of restaurants and shops selling souvenirs and treats. Therewas a lot of tourists mostly young Japanese spending time in Kamakura in the weekend in the summer. Kamakurais an old city preserved with traditions and history. Whenever you visit Tokyo, I would really recommendKamakura as one of the not-to-be-missed places to visit. One important reminder, when you goaround the shrines and temples, always keep the place tidy!On the way back to Tokyo, all trains taking us back to Tokyo werepacked with people. I, on the other hand, stopped over at a stationand went straight to Akihabara Station to Yodobashi Akiba, one of thefamous shopping malls in Tokyo selling electrical products. I went justto buy a G-Shock wristwatch for myself and I got it really cheap comparedto the one sold in my country and I saved probably aroundRM400. Best weekend ever!Upon acceptance to the program, I 'googled' looking for attractionsin Tokyo and I found that Fuji-Q Highland is a must visit destination.Tokyo is famous for its Tokyo Disney Resort, but Fuji-Q is somethingI've never heard of. When I learned that it is famous for someextreme rides holding some Guinness World Record, Fuji-Q becamea top priority. I went there on my last Sunday by bus from the Shinju- Souvenir from Japan for myselfku station in early morning. Fuji-Q is located near to Fuji-san and Icould see the enormous mountain while I was lining up for the rides. The extreme rides are where the longestqueues were and I had to line up for more than an hour just to get on a few-seconds ride. I had towait slightly more than two hours just to get on Eejanaika once. The only one thing I missed was theDododonpa because I had to hurry to catch a bus back to Tokyo city. Hopefully one day I will return forDododonpa. So folks, if you like the extreme rides, then head to Fuji-Q Highland. You can do the Disney Resortsome other time.It has been almost a year since I left Tokyo and all of us still stay connected though social media. Japan istruly a country on the front line with regards to IP protections and its creation of wealth. A well-known culturefilled with innovation values integrated with disciplines while honouring true understanding of traditionalvalues. Living in Japan offers life in a fascinating country combined with modern, busy and exciting placesto visit.Among the countries and cities I visited, Japan has the best vending machines ever filled with a variety ofbottle and can drinks. I sure hope to return to Japan one day.Genki de! Sayoonara…14 ENISHI IP Friends Connections August 2018 No.19
