I have visitted Shenzen recently and I think this town is quite beautiful. Shenzhen is a sub-provincial city of Guangdong province in southern People's Republic of China, situated next to Hong Kong. Despite the fact the town's natural landscapes are very common, but the government was successful creating any creative and unique tourism attraction and destination. One of the town's tourism sites which amused me is "Window of the World". This site is located at Overseas Chinese Town along the beautiful Shenzhen Bay, covering an area of 480,000 sqm.

One way of telling whether you are a truly Japan lover or not is by measuring how deep your desire in eating fish or other kinds of seafood is. I am not making this up! In fact, this fact has made me from once not too fond of eating fish (not to mention raw fish) into a not a day without fish maniac! Let’s say that you are not a truly Japan lover yet, meaning that you are not a real fish eater yet. In that case, I strongly suggest you to visit the Yaizu Sakana (Fish) Center.

One reason why I love Japan very much is its food, don’t you?! But frankly, it took some time for me to finally like the Nihon shoku (J-food). I can still laugh at myself when I remember how I was first introduced to this. Me, together with 5 other Indonesian students to go to Japan on an exchange program, we were taken to this Japanese restaurant in Jakarta during a week pre-departure orientation. I had a friend named Nasir. When the meal set already served, he first started with the Miso shiru (Miso soup, you are not a J-food real lover if you don’t know this!). I can still picture his funny face right after he took the first sip off the soup bowl. Hahaha. But that was not all the surprises yet. There was this kind of sticky food made from soy bean and smelled…rather strange!
