30/04/2008 The first glimpse of FujiQ with mount Fuji in the background My friend  got his hands on a lucky package which includes a one day free pass to FujiQ and transport up an down from Hachioji, for just 6600 yen. now that is cheap!!!!So we ended up with a day full of  fun, scare, sweat and panic at Fuji Q. Take my word for it FujiQ is the best amusement park in Japan if you are up for adventure.This post is written just to share the funny, scary and truly enjoyable attractions listed I popped in. there were more, but some I could not take pictures and fro some we did not enter. Red Tower The free fall attraction where you can experience a free fall from 52 meters high with the eccentric view of Mount Fuji.

30/04/2008 Fuji-Q Highland EE-Janaika steel rails  with a fall of 89 degrees. The roller coaster below is called Ee-Janaika meaning "isn`t this great?" This roller coaster holds a Guinness record for its 14 rotations through out its ride. This means the seats rotate while the coaster itself rotates around the rails. This coaster has a speed of 126kilo meters per hour with the highest fall point of 65 meters. This ride lasts fro good several minutes as its 1153 meters long. The steepest fall is 89 degrees where you experience the ground coming towards you with a sickening 100km/h. Well, This ride needs some guts.

29/04/2010 It was a Showa s day and a national holiday in Japan. My friend decided on a fast day out and the spot was the aquarium of Shinagawa. It is not at all a big aquarium but a beautiful spot for a day out with  a nice lake. I loved the area the first time I saw it, a huge contrast among the busy city of Shinagawa, Tokyo. This is not the best of the aquarium but yet there is always something to enjoy. It was a small aquarium but I loved the Dolphin show. Of course there were better shows in Hakkeijima  and other aquariums but still it was fun to watch.There were two dolphins performing, one male and one female. They were cute, big and so chubby. They performed several tricks, simple but yet cute. Let me share the moments with you...!!! jumping over the rod which is nearly 2 meters above the water level Playing with the ring Playing Catch  the Ball with the trainer Riding the board - surf riding???
