Episode: the Tokyo experience (at Tokyo day 3)
Wednesday, April 21, 2010

Ok, the next day. Today, somehow Shah and myself woke up late. I just quickly did what I needed to do, grab random clothes and wear them. The bus led us to...


the all famous fish market. You know the one you always see in TV the Japanese fish market that sells all kinds of fish. I thought that I was going to visit the place and see it for myself, but Ronnie told us that the place now do not let tourists to come in anymore as they would disturb their fish auctioning. I was really really upset as I really want to see what is happening on the inside. However, we get to visit the places outside it.


Oh ya, this is my random look, with random clothing. My hair is messed up. But I wearing MODE shirt inside..hehe. Shades were borrowed from Isa.

Here we are, not going in the fish market.

Snapping at nothing.

Look at those fish eggs and salmon. Really really fresh fish stuff. The Japanese are really particular with their fish and they would know if it is really fresh or not..Really! Hehe..

Giant fish!
Ok, since there is nothing much here and Shah and myself have not have our breakfast, we decided to check out Japanese McDonald's.


Had some hotcakes, and real happy about it. Don't look at my hair.

There is a smoking area within the restaurant.


I was expecting something awesome from the menu and I did! There is McPork. Cool or what. Oh ya, Mc there, people need to separate the rubbish accordingly before throwing them away. Like plastics with plastics, paper with paper. Cool, considerate people the Japanese.

Ok, its time to gather and head off the next destination.


Woohoo! Cherry blossoms at random places.

We alighted here. This spot is usually occupied by newlyweds when the leaves are yellow in colour. Why? Photoshoot! A wedding photoshoot would be awesome with the fantastic colours of the trees.

That's right Adli.

We have arived, to Tokyo Designers week.



Haha.

Series of awesome shots. Shah here.

Yusri.

Islam.

Isa.

Rendra.

Syafiq.

Safiah.

Aidie.

Ok, entry to the place costs us 2000 yen. In SG..you figure it out yourself.



Time to take a look around.

There are two exhibitions, the one outside are mainly students work. While the ones inside are some upcoming companies in the industry.








Real fun.


Some of the stuff here, we can buy. I bought stuff for my sisters here.




Its now time to get back into the bus.



Next: Shopping. Look at the busy Japanese streets.

Streets filled with DXPD.


4+pm and its getting dark.


Our favorite store. ABC mart. Hidayat bought around 6 pairs of shoes from here. The shop sells original shoes like a BATA shop. I mean who would not buy stuff from here? An idiot.

Oh yeah! Our next destination is Akihabara! The heaven of electrical and electronics stuff. Toys are here too. Rare ones especially.



Actually, the electronics here are sold at almost same price in SG. However, the variety here is crazy!









Well, we only explored a small part of Akihabara. There are more places. Next, we waited for our bus to arrive for our dinner. The bus did not come until some time, so some of us just chat while others...

Played classic Street Fighter games outside a store challenging locals and anyone who is up for the challenge.

This was the game. So classic la!

Ok, the bus arrived after an hour or so. We were very hungry. We came to this restaurant that Ronnie introduced to.

I am ready to eat eat eat!

Had eggs.

Some peas.

Salted squid.

Fried noodles.

Chicken!

Satayed chicken..I think.

Crab.

Nasi goreng.

I think this is Tofu. Or was it fish?

Some kind of mee.
Desserts. Moshi and Yam Ice-cream I think. I did not really like this.

However, this was awesome! Mango ice-cream with some crackers.

This strawberry ice-cream was damn nice too..

Another one comes in. I am really really full now, but its nice, so I just eat!

With our full stomachs, we had back to our hotel, transferred the photos and had fun in the hotel.

I can't remember which night, but one of the night Rendra(the one with the long curly hair) played a prank. We dressed him up with white blanket to look like a ghost and knock on our classmate's door. Some even cried after seeing the 'Ghost'. Haha.. I have yet to see that video.
