Around The World

The morning sunrise greeted welcome in the land of the rising sun. Now I know how this name came about. The sunrise is indeed awesome!


The ferris wheel
 Morning view from the hotel window. Yawns, time to sleep in!


 Outfit of the day!


 Took a Shuttle Bus from the hotel to Shinagawa, where I took the train to the town area - Shinjuku/Shibuya area. I was determined to go to a Park to watch the cherry blossoms since its a rare time i get to be in Tokyo where the beautiful sight comes once a year.



After several attemps of trial and error, I managed to get a SUICA card! Its really confusing using the mchine to get the card cos there's several selections, and being the noobkid first time in Japan, its just trial and error that got me this! Its like an ez-link so it makes travelling around the city easier!

Oooh there's lockers in the train station! Smart Idea, should have some of these in Singapore cos sometimes its just annoying to carry all the barangs all around.

The Japanese are very merticulous. Even the toilets are so well described and decorated.


Interesting promotion ideas along the streets.

Really spoilt for choice with these kinda vending machines all decked out in front of you while you make a selection. Good for consumers, bad for companies trying to capture the attention of the customers. Bad thing! Its really easy for underage xiao-hun-huns to purchase cigs. Even if they needa scan their IDs before being able to get their cigs, they can always borrow it from someone else, or steal their daddy's ID for half a day.

 I was famished! Not having eaten anything since touched down. Randomly headed to a food place which sells rice bowls.

 Self service at the machine. Again, spoilt for choice! Couldnt decipher anything from the jap words. Could only rely on how yummy the food looked through the pictures to make a decision.

Ordered the pork don. It comes with a bowl of raw eggs, and gotta stir in myself. hmmmm its kinda salty and I don't really like it.


Finally headed to a park in Shinjuku area. Its a 15 mins walk from the station. It was sooooo packed! Partly cos its a weekend and the only week where the flowers blossom!

People were having a nice picnic on the grass patch and enjoying the scenic place and nice weather. What a wonderful place.










 
Heeheee. Caught snoozing on the grass. They are just some random people.

Was really tight for time, and I headed to shibuya for some shopping. How could one miss out on Shibuya 109 building in Tokyo! There's a Shibuya 109 MEN across the street as well, but well, I'm only interested in women's clothing!



 Down the escalator.. I like the Japanese clothings!! Totally my style, but its kinda ex tho!


Ended up, I didn't get any clothing, but just lotsa cosmetics and skincare stuff in one of the shops which is FULL 3 LEVELS selling cosmetics and beauty stuffs. OMG, how to not get stucked there and spend away all my money.

Look at this ad, so cute!


Back to the hotel! Grand Pacific Le Daiba...

 Very princessy and european styled hotel. I like!



Thats the statue of liberty near the hotel and the colourful bridge behind.


Managed to get a drink from the vending machine. Its HOT. The coffee in Japan is more milky and much sweeter.
