Chiba Get-away
たたいま。。 I miss you my friends
I've got load of stories to share but first, I'd like to share our most recent out of town get-away with Anzu's grandparents
The most excited of course is Me
So the first highlight during the trip was a mind-boggling experience of driving through the 10 km undersea tunnel which is actually running through the sea bottom of Tokyo bay called Tokyo BAY Aqua-Line and links western Tokyo and Yokohama with the southern end of the Chiba Peninsula. It was built to reduce traffic through the center of Tokyo that's why no wonder we were in Chiba in no time.
Isn't it amazing to think how Japanese genius Engineers could ever made a long tunnel High-way under the sea??? It's really impressive and I wonder why did I only realized it during that time. It was actually my 2nd time..
After the long tunnel, we stopped over at the famous Umi Hotaru which is literally means floating "fireflies". It is a the man-made-island where the bridge and tunnel meet
Turning around about 90 degrees from the first shot, you can actually see all that water surrounding the Umi-Hotaru island. I think this is where the tunnel high-way located.
The other bottom end of the man-made island..
I'm sharing the rest of our trip thru this slide show.. Please take your time and enjoy hihi
...much

Under the sea highways are very impressive, but I always have weird feelings everytime I travel through them. I can still remember how tight I clung into my aunts arm everytime we passed by the Hong Kong's Cross-Harbour Tunnel and Western Harbour Crossing. I was like "whew!" after seeing the blue sky again.

It's definitely a time and space travel for both you and Anzu to enjoy Japan's delightful scenery both natural and man made. The engineering feats of Japan and even South Korea are really mind boggling. To traverse a man made tunnel under the sea is a thrilling experience indeed. It's nice that you were able to share those wonderful experiences with your in laws. Someday, Anzu and you will look back to those wonderful days faithfully recorded by you in photos and videos and blog posts. Thanks for the most wonderful post. God bless you all always.
