lots of sitting today :D we ate breakfast as hotel (finally get to try the fan tuen) and then went to take the long train to hakone-yumoto la...... that was like 2 something hours and they were behind schedule too! then had to take the tozan bus to our hotel station because the cable car was down for maintenance... scary windy roads and a huge tall bus.... @@" then le, we got to our hotel reception place la, what i mean by that is, there's a little building for reception outside the bus station, but the hotel is actually inside a valley... we need to take a private cable car just to get down to the hotel..... we only dropped off our luggage yau take more bus to sightseeing la (yes you read it right, today is the only day of sightseeing we have for the whole japan trip :P)
we went to Gora to change cable car to "jo wan san" - on the cable car we see mt. fuji! and also lots of steam coming out from underneath the mountain, those are hot spring water steam le..... got to the top ate a rip off lunch - well it is tourist area.... and couldn't buy black egg cos they sell in chunks of 5 - we couldn't eat that much la, o wells.... then we took another bus to take the "theif boat" to the bottom of the lake.... kinda childish but dol ok ge... hehee.... and then and then..... the DIY music box shop!!! we made one hehehee.... its soooo cute!!! umm afterwards we just took the bus back to our hotel... afterall, we came here for the hot spring ma :D
quickly settlted in jau rush to take a short dip in the spring before dinner at 630...... only about 30mins la..... but but but.... something really really bad happened.... the girls were ok - only 2 of us in the bath and while we were taking our 2nd shower after dipping....... some lady came in asking us if we were ok, had some communication problem but she found a translator for us and confirmed we were ok la..... then, she came back after a few mins saying someone had an accident in the guy side! we both got really worried but turned out it was an old man....... phew~ went back to the room to meet up with the guys..... the news came..... apparently an old man lost conscience in the bath! and the guys were the only there, they found him not responding and called for help....... very scary experience..... we still had dinner anyways.... and the hotel ppl told us that the man had sake before taking the bath.... no wonder le..... and he was sent to the hospital..... we took pics of the dinner, it was good but with what just happened, we couldn't really appreciate the food......
we just tried to sleep early la... and then around 930 the police came to woke us up.... and asked a lot of details about what happened..... he told us the old man passed away before arriving to the hospital... sigh...... it was weird cos the police had to tell the translator and she tells me in mandarin, then i tell s in cantonese what they are asking...... umm.... so hard to fall asleep.... we had the lights on and the tv on gum...... the heat yau ho weird, sometimes really hot sometimes really cold.... then the police came the 2nd time to get contact info... he bought us 2 pops..... he was very nice and he new a bit mandarin too.... he was trying to relax the atmosphere i guess.... :)
so, that was a once in a life time experience, although i'm not 1st person..... it was close enough..... tomorrow we will leave the hotel asap ga la.....
