vacation in tokyo
it has been a good and occupied 6days in tokyo. i've always love japan, the culture, the people and the food. it did not disappoint me again. esp now that i'm there with my dearest bf and gd frens. jus a pity that bestie ting didnt join us. i actually miss her when i'm there. hehe.. because she is my accomplice for all our silly crimes. ~winks~
day 1 (15oct08): we took northwest airlines to tokyo. i totally understand how chloe felt when she flew to london, i got alerted each time the call bell went off, though it sounded a little different from sia's. its jus the work syndrome acting up. in conclusion, i did not rest well throughout the flight. =(
we arrive in narita airport ard 1pm, and we checked into our hostel at 3pm. then we headed straight out for dinner and shopping! we went for dinner and ginza (similar to s'pore orchard) for shopping. bf and frens bought things from burberry blue label. the service in japan is really fantastic. and best of all we get to see babes and hunks everywhere.
the popular machine for all dining places, you have to buy the item u want from the machine before you proceed in for the marvellous food. =) cool~
Day 2 (16oct08): Tokyo disneyland. We had truckloads of fun there!
See our hair accessories? Cute ya? We wore it the entire day in Disneyland.
Beautiful fireworks and lovely songs played with bf holding my hands, I felt so loved. =)
On our way back to the hostel, we did not forget to camwhore. =)
Day 3 (17oct08): shopping in Shinjuku, shibuya, ikebukuro, akihabara (electrictown) and roponggi.
Oh I love japan’s mobile phones. So lovely so kawaii..
their 100yen shop, its very near to our hotel.
the monk's sandals is humongous!.. Hehe.
Day 4 (18oct08): hie jin jin shrine, Tokyo tower, Guinness world records museum, wax museum and trick art gallery.
we parted because the rest of them have to attend a band competition for 2 days. Hence dear and me have some quality time together. =) it was a Saturday, on our way out of our hostel, there was a big event in asakusa. It was so crowded, I like the ambience.
the beer tower in asakusa, see it clearly.. it resembles a can of beer with foamy top. =)
We are supposed to wash our hands to make ourselves clean before we enter. rinse ur left hand, then right hand, then drink a mouthful.
Put your wish here and it will be fulfilled. =)
Throw a coin, say ur wish, bow once, clapped ur hands twice, and bow once more. Then go to the fortune telling machine, drop 100yen and get ur fortune elaborated. =) fun. If it is a good one, tie it on with both hands, if it is a bad one, tie it on with only ur left hand. Such a challenge, thank goodness shandy and bf have good fortune. Hehe.
According to the book, a walk through the red gate eliminates all ur sins.
The tallest steel tower in the world – Tokyo tower. It is even taller than Eiffel tower, but unfortunately Eiffel tower is recently listed as one of the wonders of the world. Eiffel tower wins the battle because it has got an open air level where you get the chills and excitement more. Nevertheless Tokyo tower is still worth visiting. It is a once in a lifetime experience afterall.
My legs became wobbly when I step on this. ~omg~
Welcome to The Guinness world records museum.
The wax museum.
The trick art gallery.
