... a foreign city miles from home. But this is not enough for him. If I won`t stop taking flyers, he`ll go directly to the source. One man was attempting to lead us to another duty-free shop. I believe that Sean and I were BOTH walking there, though he claims he was just walking in that direction. Then, as we were about to enter the shop, Sean turned the tables on the poor man and was just like NOPE. Seriously. He said "nope" and then he ...

... floor with a 360 degree view over the city. Tokyo is the largest city in the world and we got an idea of just how vast it is. The city sprawled out below us in all directions without an end in sight. On a clear day, Mount Fuji can be seen in the distance, but unfortunately it was too hazy on the day we visited. Tokyo is not the most of attractive of cities as it suffered a huge earthquake that practically leveled the city in the 1920's and it was also heavily ...

... break from the wandering of the sidewalk (still in heels at this point and had been all day), so we stopped into a cute game/toy store (there was a big Alice doll from Alice in Wonderland and a whole bunch of little dollies surrounding her in the window of the store). It looked like kind of a little store from the outside, but it was huge on the inside (about 4 or 5 floors). The first floor was neat gadgets (crab robots), kitchen items (ice cube tray of Titanics and ice bergs), party ...

... special experience of the night... We get to experience the most wonderful Japanese restaurant, which sits underneat the shadow of Tokyo Tower, the foods are visual stunning and oshi (delicious). After dinner, we were taking to the hotel, which like the scence out of `Lost In Translation` movie... no kidding. The view from up here is amazing, which can only be experienced in person!!! What a treat! Wonderful friends, good food in a great place...

... I suggested we see if Emi's moms bar was still open as she wanted us to visit her in her place. It was late and we figured she would have closed up as it was close to midnite....well when we opened the door she first said she was closed until she saw it was us. My god was she beaming with pride! She was soooo happy. Out came the beer. We filled up her place. I think it only had 8 seats and a width of 5 feet max for bar, bar patron and Mommojun (Emi's mom) as you can ...

... kazdom z navstivenych uradov. So far so good. Dnes prisla na rad navsteva cudzineckej policie a vybavenie viz pre Mimi. Pri spojeni slov cudzinecka a policia mi zacne mravencit v zaludku, scervenie mi pred ocami, zrychli sa tep, nadoblicky zacnu pumpovat do tela adrenalin a zatvoria sa mi paste. To vsetko vdaka tamker pravidelnym a hlavne velmi castym navstevam cudzineckej policie v Prahe v priebehu poslednych osem rokov, kedy sa ich pocet uz davno ...

... décor glowed softly as it wrapped around a small courtyard that featured a full sized tipi. Looking in with much jealousy, I watched as the fortunate reservationists savored their share of four private seats and enjoyed Nawa's finest while huddled around a small ceramic lantern. So Cool. The next morning, I awoke to my last day in Asia. After nearly 1 month on the road, I was surely beginning to feel the fatigue of life on the road. Still...I was not at all ready to go home and could ...

It's a few days later, but i've finally got round to telling you about my weekend in Tokyo. i had a brilliant time - Japan was everything i remembered it to be, and Tokyo surpassed all my memories! The journey allowed me to start my holiday in true Julia style - as my family will agree - by vomitting spectacularly 20 mins before landing. the BA food was simply revolting - i have never had such bad food on an aeroplane. yuck. oh ...

... sold there for wholesale or moved off to other destinations. After the fish market the thing to do is to go get sushi! So i headed into a little sushi place down one of the alley ways in the heart of the fish market. It was the freshest sushi by far i have ever had. After breakfast I plan to head out to Nikko. Nikko is the name of small town located in the Tochigi Prefecture Mountains. It houses the Nikko National Park which contains the ...

... stocked with the most beautiful seafood that I have ever seen. There were giant crabs, squid of every shape, and tuna that looked as big as a boat. Everything was still moving (including some heads without bodies) or had eyes so clear that it appeared to staring at you challenging you to eat it. The whole scene was capped by black and white signs of Japanese calligraphy. Despite the fact that I was almost killed by one of the dollies, the market was astounding. It made ...
