When I was a trainee in the first job, I asked for leave because of travelling with my husband. It was my first time to take plane. I was so excited and feared. I closed eyes When the plane taking off until it’s steady. I saw the sea from turbid浑浊 to clear, and many islands of Japan. We departed in the morning and arrived in the night. It is worth motioning that I saw fuji mountain while the sun was setting.(在晚霞中看到富士山). I realized why it was called Japan’s 圣山, because it looks mysterious. We checked in the hotel near the airport. Even I was so tried, I still tried two instant noodles泡面 before went to bed. I would like to know whether it is truly good tasty as the TV show said. Actually it was just so so.
