Haneda Excel Hotel Tokyu Ota

No trip to Japan is complete without stumbling upon some kind of food-abomination which involves cheese. Cheese and honey pizza, cheese in a can, liquid cheese in a bag, and so forth.<br><br>During our wait at Haneda Airport, we stumbled across these little packets of curiosity - Maple ...

... their innovative spirit. All their gadgets are one notch better than ours and this is how they got new patents on old ideas. George gave us through the complicated train system and our next stop was Asakusa, near the former pleasure district. An example of the Gongen style of architecture, Asakusa Shrine was commissioned by Tokugawa Iemitsu and constructed in 1649 during Japan's Edo Period. The shrine and its surrounding area and buildings have also been the site of ...

... went like sheep. However, unlike most, a certain person left the gallery without having to pay for his pearl!!! There was a demonstration on how they culture the pearls and at the end they open an oyster that has been seeded several years earlier and the person with the lucky number gets the pearl - AND GUESS WHO!!!!! GRD. He's lucky in more ways than one!!! Then it was a cruise on the Sumida River from the Hinode Pier to Asakusa. The river runs through ...

... c'est un pote pour ceux qui connaissent). Ils ont aussi leur Champs Elysées locale. Ce qui est dommage, c'est que tous les fils électriques et les poteaux sont visibles et il y en a partout, ca gâche un peu le paysage. J'ai pas trop visité les temples car je vais en bouffé pendant les 15 prochains jours. Il y a des grands parcs Yoyogi où tu as des offrandes sous forme de bidon de saké, différents les temples ici. Il y a aussi ...

... famous Nanking pedestrian mall. I probably should have read in greater detail about this mall. It turns out to be the main shopping area of Shanghai and is stocked with stuff almost to the quality of a mall outside Cleveland. As we walked along this pedestrian mall, we were assailed every 4 or 5 paces by hustlers whipering, "watchee, Rolex, Guchi, Prada, massage, girls?"

... of your living room where Japanese men (mainly) come after work to share their stories and Sake. They grill little skewers of chicken or pork meat over charcoal and serve them there and then with some kind of soy based sauce.

I did feel that they are trying to get the use of nuclear weapons eradicated because they do not want what happened to them to happen to anyone else. I had a an encounter with a Japanese man in the first building. I felt a little nervous ...

... hot soak in the bathtub). From the balcony of the bathroom you could see the Sensoji Pagoda all it up. Went out for dinner, Okonomiyaki this time, which consists basically of cooking your own pancake at your table. That was fun and very cheap too. We really enjoyed it. When we came back to our ryokan Steve had to make a dash for the toilet (all that Japanese food!) so I went for a walk to the Sensoji Temple and sat there for a while on my own. It was very pleasant ...
