How To Get There
1. Go to Tokyo Rail Days' website here
2. Choose the tour that you're interested in (Sakura / Strawberry Pickings / Skiing / etc).
Complete information about the price and itinerary details is right there on the website.
You can also choose the day and time. So practical!
3. Contact one of the travel agents that are listed below the page to arrange the tour.
They can also rent you a portable wifi, how convenient is that?
4. Make the payment
5. Train tickets and information about the trip will be sent to your hotel in Japan
Tokyo Rail Days' PLUS POINTS
It is COST-EFFICIENT, CONVENIENT and EASY because:
1. You're going to travel by train –a comfortable one, really!
2. All the tickets, informations and guidance is prepared by them, no need to hire a costly tour guide
3. Everything is customized to your budget and schedule
P.S. The tour and ticket prices are very low because they're special price for tourists. If Japanese themselves want to go, they cannot get this price. ^^;

Sisters Day with OPPO R5
We consider ourselves very very lucky to have each other, and one of the main reasons is that
we share common interests in so many things, such as travel, movies, fashion, beauty, business, and...
photography!
We love the idea of 'freezing' precious moments that cannot be repeated to look back on later in life with mixed feelings.
You know the time when you are supposed to clean up your room and you end up spending hours and hours just looking at old pictures, getting lost in nostalgia?
That kind of thing truly warms our hearts. :)
Therefore, every time we spend the day together whether with our family or just the two of us, taking photos is always part of the activities.
And no doubt a good camera is the key to fulfil our needs!
So today, we are going to share with you our current favorite smartphone to take quality pictures and videos (and the reasons why we love it):
OPPO R5
For those who haven't heard about this smartphone, OPPO R5 is OPPO’s latest flagship model
which dubbed as one of the slimmest smartphone in the world with less than 0.5 cm thick!
PHOTOGRAPHY
FRONT CAMERA (5MP)
♡ One of the front camera features that we love from this smartphone is the “Beautify” feature.
With this feature, it miraculously creates this glowing, soft effect to your skin (also gives a touch of blush on the cheeks haha), AND slims your face!
 |
| Many choices of instant filter too! But we used "Natural" for all the selfies in this post. |
♡ Not only the screen is big, the camera is also equipped with wide-angle lens, thus it allows more interesting background to be included in the photo and your face won't be too close-up, lol.

♡ The image quality is bright and sharp, even in lower light (makes it easier to edit)!
See below selfie when it was taken at dusk ↓
(unedited)
Amazing, huh?
PHOTOGRAPHY
REAR CAMERA (13MP with Schneider Kreuznach Certification)
The rear camera is equipped with Pure Image 2.0+ Technology that has a lot of interesting features to play with. ↑
Photo result (using 'Normal') ↓
The HDR feature. ↑
The Panorama feature. ↑
We also had some fun with its Double Exposure feature! :D
Actually you are going to need a tripod to produce the perfect double exposure pictures, but we forgot to bring ours that day, so here are our attempts at shooting with bare hands ↓
Not bad, right? ^^
And here are samples of photo and video taken indoor with OPPO R5 (without flash):

See how it captured the vibrant colors without losing the details? LOVE! ♡
SPECIFICATION
BODY
The fact that it's ultra-slim (4.85 mm thickness) and made from premium material makes it ideal for fashion accessories.
Another plus point is it's non-slippery and very light with only 155g!
Elle's wearing GOWIGASA Powder Blue Blazer, Tory Burch Bag, Jason Wu Heels.
Jess is wearing GOWIGASA Dual Pocket Shirt and Powder Blue Skirt
Watch this video and be in awe at how tough it is, thanks to its stainless steel material:
SPECIFICATION
DISPLAY
5.2” AMOLED screen - 1920 x 1080 Full HD 423ppi
BATTERY
The battery life is pretty long-lasting, but what we really love from OPPO R5 is that it came with VOOC flash charge technology! This, ladies and gentlemen, is the real stuff.
It is super fast, it enables you to charge your phone from 0% to 75% within half an hour! Very reliable!!
The small figure of this adapter also makes it easy to carry. :)
