Japanese Yen

Today was my first day out in Japan. Didn’t hangout much in Tokyo though, but we went to a place outside Tokyo, to a place called Edo Wonderland, where everyone in the wonderland is dressed and acted like the samurai age in Japan. You will see people dressed in samurai clothes, Geisha, and even Ninjas. A very interesting place to be to learn the history of the samurai and ninjas. There was a special feature about the place too, where people could dress up as a samurai, geisha, lords, rich woman, and so on… and because of my fun loving personality, i decided to put on the samurai clothes on. Walking around the small city that they built with my kimono and a sword by my belt, it was quite interesting and comfortable aside from my hands and feets getting really chilled. In the wonderland they too had mini games that people last time used to play such as throwing windmill darts, shuriken, and shooting arrows in return to get small prizes. it was fun and all, and it cost 500yen, which at first thought it was cheap till just moments ago i found out that IT COST S$7!!!! I cant deny that it wasnt find and all but $7 just to throw 5 shurikens and darts is INSANELY EXPENSIVE!!! Anyway what is done is done, die la wasted my money…
