Mum & my sister will be going to South Africa tomorrow-early morning by flight SQ at 1:30am and coming back on the 6 Nov morning. It costs them more than $3500 each this tour. It daylight robbery if you ask me. They still have to give US$10.00 per day each to the tour guide. What an expensive tour! I didn’t tag along because of I don’t think it worthwhile.

The dynamic duo had been to many places before. The only time I did go with my mum & sister were to Australia & New Zealand. Yeah, it was quite an experience going with them.

I guess the only regret I didn’t follow them was to USA and Japan.

2 years ago when they went to Japan, my brother-in-law did follow along. He booked the hotel/Inn (Tokyo/Osaka) through the Internet and basically the trio did sightseeing without any tour guide. My kind of tour though.

I remembered one incident mum told me that I laughed like a hyena.

After they had check in one of the Inn (guesthouse), the staffs told them their family bath/private hot bath are ready.

Some information on Japanese-style bath

1) Take off your clothes in the changing room.
2) Put clothes in the shelf or basket
3) Enter the bathroom with a small towel
4) There will be a bucket beside the tub, scoop out some water and pour it over yourself to rinse your body before getting in the bathtub.
5) Then you soak in the bathtub. You are not to bring anything into the tub, not even a towel. In other word, total naked.

The Inn’s staff told mum they are to bath together.

My mum look at my sis.......my sister in return stared at my brother-in-law.......my brother-in-law then throws a shy glance at my mum.

Everybody naked?

Whahahahah, darn it so funny.

In the end, my brother-in-law stays in the room with mum & sis heading for the bath.
