Chapter Three: It just keeps getting better...
This is a top pick! ... robbery, I tell you. Well, since I last wrote, I have become quite the expert at negotiatiing my way around the Tokyo subway. I have in fact bypassed the Yamanote line altogether, and just get everywhere via the underground. If you havent been squashed ...
Shopping...
This is a top pick! ... at the station, we boarded the bus to Shinjuku in the afternoon for the last leg of this particular trip. Our main objective in Tokyo was to buy souvenirs, so after checking into my home-away-from-home, we went up 'souvenir street' that leads to ...
Vertigo...
This is a top pick! A couple of weeks before my scheduled return to Japan, I had a weird experience at work which threatened to jeopardise my trip before it had even started. As per usual, I was doing my best to fly under the radar of the various supervisors and managers who ...
What's not to love about Tokyo!!
This is a top pick! ... on all the machines. The chairs were also pink and the floors, walls and ceilings were all in white and pink bright colours. Tokyo certainly has the brightest and most cheerful looking poker machines I've ever seen! We went in search of a bar so that ...
Odaiba
This is a top pick! Hello everyone, I'm writing this message from the Japan Airlines lounge in Tokyo as we are about to board our flight to London with a 12.5 hour flight ahead of us. Yesterday was another day spent exploring Tokyo. We went back to Shinjuku to look around ...
Ali...
This is a top pick! ... Asakusa and once again, up to Senso-ji - this was becoming something of a pattern for new arrivals to Japan! I do think that this old part of Tokyo is ideal for an initial wander though, as going straight to somewhere like Shibuya or Shinjuku would be too ...
Tokyo Disney - Happiest Prace on Earf
This is a top pick! ... lining up so I held our spot while Karla traded our digital tickets for gate passes. I don't know what I was expecting in Tokyo, but there wasn't a single white person in sight. I had thought that Disneyland was truely an American enjoyment, or at least ...
so where do you want to go now??
This is a top pick! ... even enough time for a good night's sleep. After an early train to JFK, and some bantering with Japan Airlines, we're off to Tokyo. The flight is long and the seats are so tight...I don't think they're really made for the width of ...
Chapter Four: Tokyo Fashion
This is a top pick! ... this ubiquitous Japanese term, shopkeepers say it when you go into a store, to welcome the customers. Well apparently here in Tokyo it is something of a competition to see who can pronounce it the weirdest. Like, yesterday I was looking for some earrings ...
Come in Tokyo!
This is a top pick! ... from a vending machine on the street but not at 7-11, what is going on in this Country? This beer craziness continued as we hit Tokyo's big bar area called Roppongi. We walked out a while, so the Tokyo Tower all light up and decided to get a beer. As ...
Finally, Vacation with Karla! Yay.
This is a top pick! ... the Hard Rock Cafe to pick up my collectable shot galss, we walked down the hill toward the giant orange glowing tower. The Tokyo Tower, standing 333M high looks like a big orange Eiffel tower at first glance. We went up to the observation deck where ...
The Best and Worst of Japan: Overview
This is a top pick! ... to the 16-day heatwave we left behind. THE WORST: 1. No accommodation in Kyoto. What else can I say? Bloody tourists. 2. Japan airlines lack of legroom. I'm not even 6 feet tall. And the Japanese aren't that short. Oh well, it's a small thing I ...
On the road again
This is a top pick! ... and Ly about half that. Immigration and customs was quick and we managed to find the right train. The difficulty with Tokyo is that there are so many different train lines all run by different companies. So although you might buy a day ...
people eating fish....all types
This is a top pick! ... us that the tuna fishermen are going on strike on July 15 to protest the high fuel costs...no tuna for Japan that day...not a good situation. Tokyo is an interesting city and I get a good sense of it on the seat of Kyoko's bicycle. The ...
Minutes to Midnight - Linkin Park Tour
This is a top pick! Linkin Park, you made my day!!!!!! :'] I started to love their music since 2004, the year in which they released the Tour Edition album of Meteora. For me, Numb, Crawling, Lying From You, From The Inside and Breaking The Habit are the coolest ...
The Tokyo Fish Markets!
This is a top pick! ... that had just purchased its fish from the auctions. It was easily some of, if not the best sushi I've ever had. Tokyo's specialty is tuna so I tried a tuna sampler which gave me like 9 different types of tuna... who knew there were that many ...
Chapter One: I wouldn't have believed it either
This is a top pick! ... and tried to warn me will know this...thanks Katie) in the neverending stairs which are a part of every subway station in Tokyo. Sometimes they have escalators. Sometimes, no escalatorio. So, here I am with bags, purse, and continent sized suitcase, I am ...
Tokyo: The Big Japple.
This is a top pick! ... other businesses, but it's still pretty huge just for a train station. (Please read about the sheer wonderment of the Japan rail system in Tokyo part two). We walk around the central part of Tokyo, which stretches for several blocks either way and is ...
Chapter Two: Shinjuku and my new host family...
This is a top pick! ... I am now staying with his landlords family. (Agh Im going crazy I cant find the apostrophe on this thing!!) He just lives in West Tokyo but this is no small place...anyways theyre great. Im going to put pictures on here as soon as I can. Last night I ...
The Shanghai Office
This is a top pick! ... , China was an abstraction. I have had no direct contact with the bureauacracy. My work visa was all done by mail. On the Tokyo - Shanghai leg of the journey, the flight attendants passed out the Customs and Immigration forms - they paint a more down to ...
& the winner is...in case you'd been wondering...
This is a top pick! ...for the best toilet experience in the world (at least as much as I have seen of it)...is Japan! Never before has my bum been so well cared for as here...I'm talking about the hotels primarily. Imagine...if you will...sitting down and voila, ...
Walking tour of Tokyo
This is a top pick! ... with every imaginable designer in some of the coolest designed buildings I've ever seen. (Diane was right about that whole Tokyo architecture thing after all) Omote-sando spit us out in Hirajuku where we saw some of the craziest outfits I've ...
Yokohama to Shinagawa
This is a top pick! ... train and a couple of taxi's would take it so I managed to get around. Keith, Wayne, took the train around Tokyo that afternoon. Two areas we ended up in were Akihabara and Ochanomisu. Both large districts full of electronics and musical ...
Jumping around Japan
This is a top pick! ... this time we were given a tambourine and could only book in for an hour... The next day was our last day in Tokyo, and Japan... :'( We spent it walking around in a hungover daze in the Akihabara - Electronic City, to check out the electronics a ...
Another look
This is a top pick! ... to a lot of the same places. Tracey and I decided to save a bit of cash and budget it up on the night bus, arriving in Tokyo around 6am. Which meant not much was open and we had about four hours to wait for Dave... we were pretty tired and found ...
Good for what ails you.
This is a top pick! ... War two bombings, though one of the entrances at the side survived and is quite old. Asakusa is a seemingly more traditional area of Tokyo, though there are lots of those life size cut-outs of people with their faces cut out for you to pose with so ...
Tokyo... time for Sushis!
This is a top pick! ... as well as our respective trips. She is on a study abroad program with the Michigan school of Architecture and claims that Tokyo is an amazing place to study architecture. Our first stop, as we wait for her sister to get in, is dinner at ...
Sumo Wrestling!!!
This is a top pick! Today we did another walking tour of the city and it was the three of us in all of our towering glory. We hit up the imperial palace where people were asking to take our picture left and right. We ventured through ginza again and then made a ...
Turning Japanese
This is a top pick! ... our hotel is another mission, despite having directions for that too. By my non-scientific reckoning, street numbering in Japan works as follows. The city is divided into many little areas, further divided into cubes comprising about 25 ...
