Shonai Visitors Association (SVA) Just realize how beautiful scenery, culture and nice people are Japanese. They are incredibly attract myself to  be more and more willing learning about Japanese language. Honestly, it feels bad when everybody around you, foreigners especially, talking in Japanese while you still need an interpreter. But yeah it needs process!  Anyway, last week was the most amazing week ever, Saturday went to Zao for Ski and again on Sunday spend the rest of energy for trekking with Shonai Visitors Association. I just don't mind at all. The SVA brought me into a very nice place and meet some nice people with so cute kids playing games and interact with them, and of course, food! MWAHH..and it's free! It was so much better than spend Sunday on bed. Bed is an old story already. Trekking! My favorite. Trekking is always fun somehow. I always love to have a trekking-moment with snow. Get close with snow is just nice, Indonesia is pretty rare of snow, eve

ZAOOOO! It's been so a while not catch up my blog, well here I came back. Been so busy with tour and research, it's completely make me bankrupt :p And the story of today is... My trip to... ZAO ! For you who lives in Japan or surrounding Yamagata, surely know very well this mountain, a very famous spot for Skiing and Snowboarding, Juhyo (snow monster) or probably nice spot for spending holiday with family and relatives, even boyfriend :p Zao is absolutely beautiful which is every year full of snow. Zao is easy to be access from Yamagata by bus or train, this time I use bus. Well, since I live in Tsuruoka, which is 2 hours from Yamagata, I need more budget this time, at least 15.000yen. Let me tell you the details for the trip! (From Yamagata city to Zao, you need to take bus for 20 minutes trip) -Tsuruoka-Yamagata city (return): 5,800 -Yamagata city-Zao (return)        : 2,000 -Ski rent                                     : 4,000 -Cable car for Juhyo
