Hi guys! Happy 2010 so far,just came back from Japan couple days ago.

And I must say that was AMAZING trip I ever been!!!



September,2009.When I knew the band will touring Asia in January,

I'm start to plan take a trip to Japan,but it's only a mind thought.

Because first,I don't speak Japanese and my English isn't that well too.

Second,the tickets online store don't except Visa card(only Japan's card)

So I spend extra money bought ticket at record store in Taiwan,they can help you to get the ticket.

Tickets problem was solve,the next big thing is get flight ticket to Tokyo.And find hotel.

Luckily I was found cheaper ticket to Tokyo,about 330 USD. I book hotel cost 3,000yen/night.

And the owner is Taiwanese, so I had no worry about language problem.







Show's ticket done,plane ticket done, hotel was done,too.

So I was too exciting that can't wait date pass sooner.

And about one month later,my friend told me the band are coming to TAIWAN!!!At 10th,Jan!!!

I mean,WTF?Really???!!Can't believe it!!I almost spend all my savings to Tokyo,

just because I know they wont coming in my country,but I wanna see they so bad,

So I made the whole plan, and most funny thing was their show at 10th,Jan!!



10th Jan was the date I came back to Taiwan!!!I almost crazy!!!

Because my plane was night flight,so I will totally miss their show in Taipei.



My ticket and hotel can't change,and I also bought Kasabian's show in Tokyo,

I was thinking: Whatever! Plans made were made,I'll go anyway and have fun!!!

Because my friends don't have budget can join me, so I have going by myself.





 

Just b4 Christmas,I hear Kasabian's show in Japan ALL CANCEL!!!!

Holy my!!I was waste money I paid for record store, so sad!!

And next shocking thing was JET's show in TAIWAN were CANCEL.too!!!!!

OMG!!!Because the ticket selling not well,but I think it was auspices fault.

Location wasn't good,the ticket price was too high,and many people have final exam on next day....bala bala.



I was a little upset cause Kasabian cancel their show,but I still going Tokyo anyway.

4th Jan,I go to airport myself, start the road in Tokyo.

It's fortunate that word are a little similar between Japan and Taiwan(Chinese word are same,but enunciate are different.)

It was took 2hours flight,I step on Tokyo's land. here I come!!!



When I was waiting arrivals line at Narita airport,I saw a guy b4 me looking just like Cam,

wearing big glasses with David Bowie's T-shirt. I thought I must wrong, can I so luckily? meet them? Don't be dreaming!

I was pass thought passport control and got my luggage,start find train to Tokyo City-town,

suddenly I saw Nic and Chris right before me!!They're chatting and seem they have good mood!!



I was put my courage together and step up and used my poorly English say hi to them,

"Hi,I'm come from to Taiwan to see your show!! " I said.

Nic looked to me smelly."Wow! Thank you so much!!"he said.

Because I was too nervous so I didn't talk to them much,

But I was mention that so sorry that show in Taiwan was cancel,Nic said they're sorry,too.

Luckily I got the picture and sign, but only miss Mark,I didn't saw him.Maybe they were on different plane.



Hope You Can Come To Taiwan!!!!We all waiting for you!!!

    Wow what a time you had. Thats so lovely that you got to meet them. I loved reading about your adventure, sometimes things all workout in the end. But it takes determination and persistance. Well done for sticking to your goal of going to their concert and doing it all by your self, that is sometimes not an easy thing to do. I am so envious that you got to meet them, mind you if it did I think I would be stumped for words as well. Gosh I hate being shy, it sucks big time. Great story. Fee
