Tokyo Trip – Day 7

Today is our last day in Japan, as tomorrow morning we would taking the morning flight back to Singapore. We enjoyed ourselves alot in this trip, but at the same time I missed my boys!

The agenda for today is Glibli Museum, Mitaka. It may seems new to your if I just mention the museum name to you, but I am sure most of us would knows TOTORO aka 龙猫.

Located in Mitaka, just outside of central Tokyo, the museum is a must-see for fans of the films. The museum itself is whimsically designed in the distinct style of the studio's films, and many of their famous characters are there, including a life-sized robot from Castle in the Sky on the rooftop garden.

Tokyo Trip – Tokyo DisneySea Part I

I really hope to write up my Tokyo Trip soon when I can still remember the detail of it. Sometimes I do love to read through my previous post and relishing the memory of it by reading again and looking at the pictures.

We woke up very early for our trip to DisneySea, nevertheless we are still not early enough as we lost our way while trying to get there and by. By the time we got to the station for the boarding of the train bound for DisneySea, it was already 9.20am.

Tokyo Trip – Day 5

Today is practically a shopping day for me as and I had already decided to go Shinjuku followed by Shibuya to shop. This post would be much more boring as most of it is the picture is taken inside the mall.

I started my day by having breakfast at my hotel lobby. It is a simple and very traditional food which was really to my liking. So I simply grab 2 bread and a orange juice.. and tada I am ready to start my day.

The breakfast:

Tokyo Trip (Day 4 – Part I)

Today, we would be making a trip to Asakusa (浅草) Temple also known as Sensoji.

When we walked out of the train station, the street was so packed with people. Later we came to know that there is a walkathon going on, and it seems to be quite a big affair with TV crew, cheerleading squad performing there. 
Sensoji (also known as Asakusa Temple) is a Buddhist temple located in Asakusa. It is one of the few places in Tokyo where atmosphere of Japan in early as 50's remains.

Tokyo Trip (Day 3 – Part II)

It can get quite cold at night with a average of 3-4 degree, thus you could see that I am wrapped up like a dumpling.

Actually D was quite tired from all the walking earlier on, and wanted to postpone this night scenery viewing to another day. But finally I managed to convince me to go.. :P

The Government Building is located near Shinjuku station. But the walk from the station to the building took us almost half hr. Tiring!!!!

Tokyo Trip (Day 3 – Part I)

Thinking back that the weather yesterday wasn’t too cold, I decided wear this light-weighted coat instead of the thicker jacket. But boy… was I wrong!!! Once I stepped out of the hotel, the cold wind blowing at me make me regret my choice. But I was too lazy to go back to change, thus I decided to brave the coldness and hope that it won’t be so cold later.At least I got my scarf and gloves to keep some coldness at bay.

Tokyo Trip (Day 2 – Part II)

Ok, after some rest, I went back to Harajuku again to continue my shopping. Well one thing about going around in Tokyo is by the train,  and it is rather complicating to have so metro subway lines or JR lines. Sometime in order to get to one place from my hotel, I need to change a few lines to reach my destination. But the plus point is that most of the place is reachable by train, so throughout my 1 week stay in Tokyo, my sole transportation is the train.

Tokyo Trip 24 Feb – 3 Mar 2011 (Day 2 - Part I)

Tokyo Here we come!!!!

We woke up very early today for our morning flight at 9.30am. I was still feeling feeling kinda sleepy when we reached the airport….. Just a pose of us before we board the plane.

Moshi Moshi!!!

I’m right now in Tokyo, but my 2 boys are not here with me…The weather is quite cold, but still bearable at night. And do stay tune, I will upload loads of pictures of my trip when I get back next week!
