Currently Missing Tokyo So Much

13th April 2007

Since the day I've stepped back here into KLIA airport, I've been missing Tokyo weather's so much. Everyday waking up with a cold breeze blowing upon my face, how nice is that? And also the people there who's much more polite. Missing the fat cat that greets me every morning too ...

There I do not need to worry about my handbag at all, I dropped something at Disneyland and one guy picked and kindly pass it back to me. Well, how often people here would do this?

Also pretty girls and handsome hunks there, can't help staring they really know how to dress and present themselves.

Okays, probably I should stop rambling or people would stop reading my boring posts without pictures.

So here's day one where I stepped on to the blue-ish Boeing777 MAS plane to Narita, which took almost the whole day - 7 and half hour.

Posing in the plane before departure

Arrived at Narita around 7something M'sia time, Tokyo 8ish ...

Security there was pretty tight, imigration there keep talking to me in Japanese, I just shake my head and say "I don't understand". Stepped of of Narita airport into the parking area and realise that it was soo cold.

Finally settled down at Aunt Nellie's apartment at 9something at Shinagawa and realised that my stupid phone doesn't support the high technology of GSM1800 in Japan, so without handphone for 6days and I survived.

Followed 3guys to Jusco to walk around since they open until 12am(longer than M'sia). I spent on the 1st night itself because I found the powder I wanted. Unpack and bath and went to sleep.

14th of April
Slept like a pig and woke up around 8something. Then went to Tokyo Baptist Church, whaoh I totally like from Mars-la, they way the worship is way different from here, they sing and dance like those we watched in movie. So lively. Enjoyed.

Sitting at Shibuya, chilling, enjoying the weather. They claimed that Shibuya is the most high class place in Tokyo where I found there's alot of small boutiques and high class coffee shops around.

Wait I almost forgot that I discover this vadalism in Tokyo

After that, we headed to the Tokyo Imperial Palace ut was unable to get in as they've blocked the entrance, sighs ... there were alot of beautiful sakura inside

Nvrm, ganti the parliament instead, dunno who go simply take my picture when I was not ready

After that went this place, named Thunder Gate, there were the tourist attraction spot. Selling many kimonos/yukata and accesories, souvenirs, food inside. I didn't buy anything though cos I found it pretty expensive. But Caine bought a Death Note aka L's mask n a toy samurai sword that make stupid squarking sound. So started to poke n play with it =P

Human size transformer cost 300 000Yen++ almost RM 10000 here ?!!

Festival held there

After walking a long street selling those sourvenirs, it leads to a Japanese temple, they claimed that the smoke brings good luck but I say it makes me cough (Sorry no offence)

We also met some trishaw men on the street, pay certain amount and they'll really run and bring you all over the town.

After that, we headed back and went to this shopping place called Seiyu and there this 2floors 100yen shop inside, shopped there for almost 1 hours. The things sold inside ranging from souvenirs, stationaries, kitchen utensils, IT stuffs, food, cosmetics ... basically everything you want it can be found there. Then headed back and had dinner at this nearby grill house, kinda Western, uggghh big portion of food. Guys they really can eat.

A MUST read and interesting story ...
Wait did I mentioned about this super high tech toilet I've found in Daiso(100Yen shop). O.o

Coincidence that my lecturer provided us an example from the marketing text regarding this toilet. An American diplomat didn't had a clue on how to flush the toilet due to the colourful buttons on the complicated keypad on the toilet. So he started pushing the buttons.

1st the noisemaker button which makes a fake flushing sound(What on earth will you need this?) There's a volume control too! Then the blowing your bottom dry button. After he hitted the bidet button, he watched helplessly sort of like a squirt gun began shooting stream of warm water across the room and onto the mirror.

Yes now I understand how he felt. I'm not that silly to splash the water all over the room but YES I took 5freaking minutes to figure out where's the button to flush the toilet. Arggh, just to realise that it's the BIG silver button that's not located at the toilet bowl but on the wall. What the ... and yea the warm water to wash the butt and fake flush, I tried quite fun afterall
