before i really forget everything about tokyo, i thought i should type everything out. but as a procrastinator, i have amassed enough skill to be very proficient in it.:P
* image shows a street right after i came out from the subway in shinjuku. it seems that i have not taken enough notes about shinjuku. from shinjuku, i took the wrong exit and ended up around the entrance to kabukicho.
*subway shops. and some ppl around shinjuku. lol.
i didn't realise it until i checked with a map. anyways, there i had breakfast in macdonald's. as usual, my japanese wasn't really good enough to pass for a local though my face looked asian enough. T_T
after that i walked towards the first department store i could find. i think i arrived at some store with a weird name something like ask or some bla. doesn't matter, it was big. as well it had a lot of nice electronic stuffs to see.
i saw like a 50" TV and a 70" TV going for about 500k yen to up to 1 million yen. nice.. that whole thing wouldn't even fit on my wall back here. sigh. i saw rice cookers so small they loooked soooooo cute. the rice cooker bowl that was inside the rice cooker looked so high tech. it's like made of some space age material or some crock pot material. i was seriously contemplating buying one back but i didnt know how i was supposed to fit it in my backpack. thus didnt get one.
then i hit tokyu hands !!! all i can say Wow!. basically it has all sort of stuffs for home and personal use as well as kitchen tools. designer chopsticks ? chopsticks that is unscrewable like a snooker cue??!!?? man...
*it just dawn upon me today i think that the japanese chopsticks are pointed at the end so that they can meticulously strip the bones from the fish. ( they are fish based nation ?? :P)
okok. back to shinjuku, i didnt know where to go, i thought i walked the wrong exit so i went back down to the subway and then found a myriad of underground shops. it's something like what singapore subway has. but this was waaaaay bigger. u could walk the whole of shinjuku underground. :D
i tried my japanese again in the isetan store asking about a long rectangular stick that was being displayed. when i asked, nani kore ?? the girl started off explaining a whole string of japanese that i couldn't really understand lol. but i later found out that it was a keychain and it was selling for 4000 ++ yen depending on the size.
there was a tissue man around but then he ignored me the first time.. then because he saw me looking at him then he gave me the tissue anyways.
okies. i can't remember alot of things from shinjuku, i know i walked in pain. lol my feet was killing me. i walked odakyu, shinjuku southern terrace, takashimaya times square( i took the subway so i ended up quite a bit away from it. but if with the JR line, it stops like about 3 mins walk to it compared to the subway which was quite long way off)
krispy kreme... what is it about that doughnuts that make japanese ppl queue like 30 mins just to buy them. ???
i stopped to ppl watch as the students and workers started to get off work. shinjuku was a very place. lotsa things to see lol. from shinjuku odakyu's station, i started to force myself to walk towards the tokyo met building so that i wouldn't miss out on touristy stuffs.
along the way while i was happily snapping my photos away, one man came up to me and say excuse me, can u delete the photo u took of me when i was walking pass.
i gave him one look and say HUH ??? WTF ?
told him i didn't take his photo and he didnt believe me, and then he asked to see my camera memory card.
i thought he was some sort of building security saying i can't photograph buildings or something... niameh
that was the only time i was really mad at some weird japanese guy who don't believe his photo wasn't in my cam.
i said,,, HORA !! anata no sashin wa koko ga inai. i almost wanted to tell him bakayarou.. stupid moron.. if i wanted to take photos i would have kept photos of girls rather than him. sigh anyways, he went away after that,
i continued my journey to the tokyo met building.
at the south tower, everything was cloudy and very polluted. or wassit the rain clouds obscuring the sights. so no chance of any Mt Fuji in my spanking new cam.
after that i walked another underground walkway from tokyo met building all the way to shinjuku
AMAZING!! they really have another city underground.
one more thing, tokyo is conducive to picking up girls not that i dared to do it. but i'm all talk and no action.
as i was eating dinner in first kitchen somewhere around shinjuku, a girl sat down beside me. anyways, nothing happened. but it would have been quite easy for someone with knowledge and skill to do their magic.
er.. how do i explain this. the seats in restaurants, fast food centres usually have space to cater for single eaters. like those chairs u sit in front of a sushi belt. so if lucky, one nice girl will sit beside you and... lol.
well.. that's end of day 3.
note: they had a lot of overhead bridge. but thankfully they are big enough so i didn't have to go too near the sides of the railing. takai no basho wa, watashi wa dame desu. lol
