Well, we made it to Tokyo, Japan! Our flight was uneventful but I think that's a good thing. We got in by 5pm, all tired and sleepy but we made it to 10pm and about ready to pass out. Our gracious hostess Nobu met us at the airport and helped us maneuver our way to the hotel. It took an hour's bus ride from Narita Airport to Tokyo. The city was dark by then but all we can see around us were buildings, buildings and more buildings. I thought LA or NY was a concrete jungle, Tokyo is worse. I al...
Tokyo, Japan panidavFeb 25 (Yvonne Writing) Our flight into Tokyo was awesome, ANA is defiantly a recommendable air carrier. Not only did we get personal TV's like on West Jet, you also had your own remote control which turned into a portable Nintendo gaming controller. I played Super Mario World 3 for a while to kill some time while Jamie played boxing. We were also able to view a wide selection of in-flight movies, tv and satellite radio. After the flight we had to learn the Tokyo rail system fast in order to ...
Tokyo, Japan revampedWhats the difference between a singaporean burger king and an American burger king? When you ask for more ketchup in America, they give you a bucket. In Singapore, they give you a packet, one packet, and that too with a smirk. Singapore over the last 5 days has been, how can I say it without knocking the city...easy, comfortable, dare I say bland? Well, aside from the multitude of shopping malls, Singapore is rather, in our opinion, boring. Anyways, forget Singapore, we're in Tokyo now (thank...
Tokyo, Kanto, Japan sumitcanWords can't describe this city, you have to be here to experience it. We are loving our time in Tokyo. Yes, aside from the fact that this city needs a lesson or two in energy efficiency, and I would shudder to even think about its carbon footprint. This city has such a vibrant exterior, yet a calmness, serenity and gentleness still lays at the core of Japanese culture, where even the most crazily dressed young teenager bumping you in a crowded pathway, or waiter in a bustling restaurant will ...

... ask where I got my clothes the other day, but was I punk/Lolita enough? There was a more important problem at hand. My h.Anarchy skirt was a little too short for comfort, and the crowds got me paranoid. I wasn’t going to spend over $50 on a pair of bloomers so it was off to Bodyline to see if they had a decent pair. They did, for $30, so my next destination was a bathroom to change.
I got distracted, however, and ventured ...
... prints. Lately I've had problems trying to get the camera to turn on, I've had to slap it, squeeze it, or curse at it loudly to get it to work, and it has the annoying habit of powering off when I am in the middle of trying to take a picture. My patience being exhausted, I finally broke down and bought a new camera. My first stop on sunny Wednesday was Electric City at Akihabara, the place in Japan to if you are shopping for personal electronics, anime, music, or ...
Tokyo, Japan frontman... husbands etc. Yes, I did give chocolate to my male coworkers, and boyfriend. And My women friends and coworkers as well. So there. Ok, I think I`ll stop talking about that now, before I get to teary. I bought the couch anyway btw. It was a brilliant move. Now I just hope I can sell! Oh yes, what`s next. Well, that is still tbd. (to be determined) But there is a tentative plan in the works that includes more traveling. YEA ...
Ginowan, Japan kellyann... roede hatte paa. Der var nok tusind af dem. Efter lidt research har jeg fundet ud af at det er o-jizo-sama'er. Det er noget med at der er en beskytter for de som er i helvede, isaer de boern som er doedfoedte(de kommer nemlig i helvede fordi de har paafoert deres foraeldre meget sorg. Ondt). Her er hele historien: Jizo statues can be found all over Japan, but especially around graveyards because it is believed that Jizo saves the souls of those in hell, especially aborted ...
Tokyo, Japan camillal... pela população. Aceitamos de bom grado que nossas sacolas sejam lacradas, antes de adentrar um recinto de compras que é mantido por nossos gastos honestos. Até nossos pais sexagenários submetem-se ao referido "procedimento profilático"! Concordamos em submetermo-nos a essa "medida preventiva", pois achamos natural que todos sejam considerados pré-delinqüentes, em um país que convive com a delinqüência em todos os âmbitos, e aceita-a. Tente impor uma medida dessa espécie ...
Tokyo, Japan rechmachado... in it was clever, from the automatic taps in the bathroom, hand sensors to open the doors to electronic devices the conductor holds to show him who has just got on the train & therefore whos ticket he needs to check. your ticket even shows you exactly where to stand on the platform & when the train pulls up the door to your carriage is right in front of you. The trains are 99.99% on time to the minute & oh yes, and the Japanese haven't ever killed anyone in a ...
