My first work (tour guide)

Hello my friends, it’s been a while. I’ve just finished my new job as a tour guide. I’m very happy and enjoyed my new work. I had 3 customers from Sabah Malaysia. They treated me very well. They bought me lunch and presents. Also gave me tips on how to improve my service.

First day, I brought them to Mikazuki Ryugujou for spa. My customers didn’t bring their swimming suit so I rented for them. We enjoyed buffet lunch. In the afternoon, there was Japanese festival dance in the hotel. Then enjoyed spa and shopping. See the URL to know more about Mikazuki Ryugujou. http://www.mikazuki.co.jp/ryugu/spa/index.html

Second day, we went to Toyota Car Theme Park in MEGA@WEB. Here you will enjoy taking photo with the latest Toyota car product line and riding the sport car race game. http://www.megaweb.gr.jp/English/ After that, we went to Venus Fort next to the MEGA@WEB. Venus Fort is an indoor shopping center. http://www.venusfort.co.jp/multi/index_e.html In the evening, we went to Odaiba. See URL http://www.date-navi.com/odaiba/. My customers were too tired to finish navigating all the places. We had our lunch at Odaiba. My customers want to buy cheap presents so I brought them to 100 Yen Shop. They bought many things as souvenirs. Most of the goods in 100 Yen shop come from china.

Third day, we went to Asakusa to see the “Sanjamatsuri”. The meaning of “Sanjamatsuri” is three temple festival. http://www.ematsuri.ne.jp/sanja/ We took subway ride from Asakusa to Nogizaka to see The National Art Center Tokyo and Tokyo Mid Town. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/37/Nac_tokyo.jpg Asakusa is an old town but The National Art Center Tokyo and Tokyo Mid Town are newly develop places. http://www.tokyo-midtown.com/en/

Fourth day, I sent my customers to Tokyo Disneyland. (8:30am until 20:30pm) The next day I sent them to Tokyo Disneysea. They like Tokyo Disneysea more than Tokyo Disneyland. http://5th.tokyodisneyresort.co.jp/tds/index.html

Sixth day, we went to Hakone via luxury train – Romance Car. The weather was great so we were able see Mt. Fuji very clearly. We had visited Ashi Lake, Owakudani and Gora Park. Owakudani, also called Jigokudani ("the Valley of Hell"). "Black jewel eggs" – eggs cooked in the area's geo-thermal heat, are Hakone’s specialty. According to legend, eating one egg is said to add seven years to your life. Of course we tried, the taste of the egg is as usual. It costs 500 Yen per 6 eggs.

Hakone Tozan Train and the Hakone Tozan Bus make frequent runs and are convenient means of transport for visitors to get around to the various attractions in the area. Magnificent panoramas can be enjoyed from the Hakone Tozan Train as it winds up steep grades, the Hakone Tozan Cable Car, the Hakone Ropeway running suspended from heights ranging from 700 to 1,000 meters above ground and the Hakone Sightseeing Cruise, which offers spectacular views of Mount Fuji from Lake Ashi. http://www.hakonenavi.jp/english/introduction/index.html

Seventh day, I sent my customer to Narita airport.

I will strive to be the best tour guide in Japan for Malaysian visitors and to provide the best price for my customers. If you are interested, please contact me.

Alice,

I'm very happy, at last you can publish your msg and photo.

I don't have licence. For small group only. I never think of earn a lot of many. I just want to spend my free time with malaysian visitor.

Yes, i bring the tour for whole day. 8:00am until 11:00pm. I let my son goes to stay late class. My husband will pick up Kevin, when he finish his work.

Once (tour) a month is enough for me.
