Japanese tour ~ One step closer to Japan

Last few months I registered for a japanese tour guide vacancy just because I thought it would be an interesting experience. But as the day is getting closer, I felt more and more nervous. One day before the tour, I cant sleep the whole night, stayed up to look for common tour guide phrase and revise my japanese as I haven't touch it for half a year. Thinking about communicating with them really scares me because I have almost forgotten everything that I have learned. Finally the time of death have arrived, when they slowly step down the bus greeting and giving a slight bow. I really had difficulties communicating at first, since I didn't know what topic or what to say. But after the brief self introduction of myself, my handphone rang(I forgotten to put it into silent mode) playing my ringtone Flavor of Life which is sung by Utada Hikaru and to my surprise most of them are Utada Hikaru fans. That ring tone really help to break the ice, all kinds of topic started coming into the conversation(especially about japanese songs) , they became more like friends that my clients xD They were not as scary as I expect it to be, I guess japanese are just friendly and well mannered in their nature. They also keep asking me to bring them to eat the "FAMOUS NASI GORENG" of Malaysia, it seems that our nasi goreng is quite famous in Japan, some of them even wanted to take away some to bring back to Japan xD ok enough of the words.. now pictures..

Strawberry ice blended for lunch and nasi goreng tomyam, but to me its not very nice. The mamaks outside are so much better than this shop, but in the rule book I can't bring them out to eat hawkers food.

The girls of my group and the boys which I help to take care for a little while.

Forgotten about the group pics and intro. From left Yui, Hiroka, Maririn, me, Maki, Yuka, Shiho, Kanako.This picture is in Dataran Merdeka.

Group picture in Petronas Twin Tower, my group and Ry Ling's group. Thanks to Ry Ling to go help me go queue for the twin tower tickets in the morning, which I can't go because I have class in the morning.

How the bridge look like for those who have haven't been up there and the view of KL. Its on the 41 and 42 floor of the twin towers, but visitors are only allow on the 41 floor. Its also cold up there really like in Genting.

Its feel really happy to give something. I guess kindness really do pay off. This lovely couple from Australia was so disappointed when they found out that the tickets have finished for that day as that is their last day in Malaysia. So I offered them the two extra tickets that we have, so this was how this picture was taken.

My souvenirs sticker from the twin tower and the snacks they gave me because I replied saying I love Japanese food xD

This tour really was fun and turns out to be a good one, in addition I have made some friends as a bonus. So overall it was really a great experience for me to get to know more about japan, japanese and their culture. And this also helps me to get one step closer to one of my dream which is to go japan some day.

Will post the remaining photos in Facebook. Oh ya I am also going to setiawan on Deepavali, will blog about it when i come back, and to all my indian friends out there Happy Deepavali..
