The Russian-Ukraine war can't seem to end, the entirety of Europe is in protest, the US is fucked by Trump and Middle East shenanigans are ongoing. But all is right in the world because IT’S NEW POST DAY LFG.
Woke up to the sight of absolutely nobody, which was surprising because Sj should already be eating his 3rd breakfast but he probably died of hypothermia when we opened our room window to sleep in the 5 degrees weather.
Kenneth joined me shortly to admire Mt. Fuji in a very natural pose. Photo not taken from the front because it would reveal his throbbing erection.
Had a very eggy breakfast while enjoying the view of the well placed highway thanks to Japan's version of LTA 👍
Our chariot arrived to pick us up but it was missing a white knight in shining armor who didn’t join our holiday.
All loaded up and onwards to Lake Yamanaka!
As you can see from their enthusiastic faces, the girls often lit up the back of the car with their boisterous chatter throughout the trip. So heartwarming to witness a beautiful friendship blossom before our very eyes.
Growing fat from all the wonderful food and snacks we have been indulging on, it was finally time for some exercise.
Can't think of many better ways to work out than with a scenic bicycle ride around Lake Yamanaka. However, the skies were gloomy and Mount Fuji was completely hidden in the clouds.
We had much training throughout the covid days by cycling to MBS & Orchard Road, so this 14km route was ezpz.
All that big talk about exercising and we immediately stopped at a cafe within 5 mins of the start line to have brunch.
The only savoury option here was hotdog buns but you won't find Th complaining.
The cafe shared a similar philosophy with our friend of shooting inside and digging out the mess afterwards, judging by how they positioned their cannon.
Our second stop was also a short distance away, this time to reward ourselves for cycling uninterrupted for 10 mins.
A sinful combination of honey melon and creamy soft serve provided us with flashbacks to Popura Farm in Hokkaido. The combination doesn't really work for me but it is pretty instagram worthy.
Before continuing, i was distracted by the familiar sounds of Japanese girls squealing just to be disappointed to discover that they were only feeding ducks.
Rest assured that there would be no further disruptions on our remaining journey.
Looking back, i feel slightly bad for making a pregnant woman cycle for an hour.

Where Mt. Fuji would be if the weather wasn't being such a bitch.
Our leisurely ride turned into a race for first place upon an oncoming drizzle. This was the last sight of Th before she zoomed off along with Sj, abandoning the others to save themselves.
Thankfully we were blessed by the power of friendship to complete our voyage before the rain arrived, where 2 unremorseful faces received us at the bicycle rental shop.
Congrats on burning 300 calories, time to reward ourselves by ingesting 1000 more!
We had lunch at a sukiyaki restaurant, and the set course meal we chose began with appetisers made for ants.
Followed by a very pathetic looking salad, but it was of no importance to us carnivores.
The tableside service was awesome as the staff meticulously grilled our meat piece by piece and hand delivered it to us individually.
It is astonishing how something as simple as beef and raw egg can be one of the tastiest things you'll ever eat. Sj's pork sukiyaki was equally scrumptious as well.
Our worries that we were only getting a few meager slices of beef were quelled when they brought out our main pot of goodies.
This is what 财富自由 and good decision making looks like. Come sukiyaki restaurant to order shabu shabu like the table behind meh?
The freshness and sweetness of each ingredient was evident, and the velvety texture made it so easy to eat that Jl gulped the entire piece that i offered for her to share with her husband. Reagan 你就很不好咯.
Ending the meal with fresh, chewy hoto noodles was draw dragon drip eye. To date, 山中湖 和食 和み remains my top sukiyaki place.
Most of us were grateful to Jh for fetching us around so we didn't ask him to return us $1.80 for his iced teh o.
Exhausted from the workout as if we cycled around Mt Fuji herself, some took naps while others enjoyed a few drinks chilled naturally by the outdoor weather at our balcony.
Before marching out for dinner, i conducted a surprise standby area, catching these chao recruits off guard. All of you should feel ashamed for living like a bunch of pigs. Btw has anyone seen Sj?
An intimidating fog almost engulfed the roller coaster tracks but we are used to that here in Singapore thanks to Indonesia.
Unsatisfied with the small portion of Japanese beef we had for lunch, we plotted our revenge at a yakiniku restaurant.
No meal with grilled meats is complete without an ice cold glass of draft biru and a sexy alcoholic with his hair tied up.
The prices were on the low side which made us feel suspicious, but we knew everything would be daijoubu as soon as this gorgeous plate of premium short ribs was served.
The restaurants around Mt. Fuji just keep hitting it out of the ballpark, and this meal even converted the 2 idiots who claimed that Singapore beef was better.
The premium loin cut was equally amazing and deciding which was better between them is like asking me to choose between Iori Kogawa & Kana Momonogi i cannot.
Even though everything on the menu was reasonably priced, some of my table mates were defending their youtrip wallet from scammers and ended up ordering weird stuff like beef liver and pork trotters. Bro who goes to a yakiniku restaurant and grills pork trotters??
The consistent quality gave me enough confidence to order their most premium cut which was simply sensational. Feeling like Robin Hood, i shared my precious beef out of pity for the scam victims.
吃饱饱对宝宝好.
You already know the after dinner drill.. a supermarket visit to grab some snacks as if our tummies weren't filled to the brim with beef.
WHY WOULD ANYONE SELL A CLEAR TRANSPARENT YOGURT DRINK IN A MINERAL WATER LOOKING BOTTLE WITH ONLY A TINY INDICATION THAT THIS IS YOGURT AND NOT WATER THIS IS OBVIOUSLY AN ATTEMPT AT DECEIVING THE CUSTOMER AND FRAUD I PAID 250 YEN AND THREW IT AWAY INSTANTLY WTF.
We also visited a konbini because Jh would have removed and unfollowed us on instagram if we denied his wishes.
The most crucial part of the day - picking your supper for the night.
After freshening up, the squad enjoyed supper while Th tended to her itchy skin by putting concealer because someone say her leg not nice.
一点都不饿可是看了就开心.
Coincidentally, that night was the opening match of the 2022 World Cup which featured an exciting matchup between Qatar and Ecuador. I barely made it to half time before giving up and going to bed. Traveling is tiring man, but just 2 more days to go till we have to reluctantly say sayonara to Japan and i couldn't be sadder. Hais.
- End of Day 9 -
