Shinjuku New City Hotel

... Dieses Mal Toast mit Butter, weil sonst unser Magen vor lauter Onigiri bestimmt mal zu streiken beginnt. Hiermit haben wir den Streik wohl um ein paar Stunden verzoegern koennen, weil wir ja doch hauptsaechlich Reis mit Fisch und Seetang futtern XD<br><br>Weiter gings mit unsrer Erkundung jener Stadt, in die ich mich mal auswandern seh. SHINJUKU war unser heutiges Ziel. Nachdem wir ungefaehr eine Stunde lang durch West-Shinjuku liefen, vorbei an den ...

... en blanket. og vi bukkede og sagde "arigato" som er tak paa japansk. det viste sig at vi barw var gaet i ring om gaden. den laa lige ved indgangen til undergrundsgaden, doh... vi var inde i et par butikker og jeg kobte lidt toj. saa varder ikke saa meget tid da vi ogsaa skulle medregne 20min. togkorsel tilbage til hostellet. Da vi naaede tilbage fandt vi ud af at Asger var blevet syg. derfor efterlod vi ham i sengen og tog aaa bar i ...

... es gibt auch viele Touristen, die sie fotografieren:-) (Und ein deutsches Fernsehteam war auch anwesend). Den Abend habe ich dann in Shinjuku verbracht, zwei Stationen noerdlich. Ebenfalls eine hippe Einkaufsgegend (auch in Tokyo gibt es Louis Vuiton, Hermes, Porsche und solche Haendler wie bei uns Douglas oder solche Ketten, sprich jeden km einen). Hier war ich gestern ja auch schon, habe heute aber Nachtaufnahmen gemacht ...

... through the shower area complete with little wooden stools to sit on and every imaginable potion for cleaning yourself. Stopping briefly for a quick rinse I noticed my surroundings were all very pastel and kind of clinical in a way and certaintly not the relaxing atmosphere I had dreamt of. Next we passed by noisy bubbling jacuuzi's before finally exiting into a world of rocks and trickling water... a wooden walkway flowed outside into the open air where the scenery changed ...

... grounds of the Imperial Palace were worth more than all the real estate in California. You may be thinking the place is huge. Well, it's not that big, you can walk around it in under an hour. The flat green area outside must be the biggest flat green space in all of Tokyo and all it has on it are lots of roughly evenly spaced 7ft tall bonsai trees. The other big surprise was the walls around the palace. You may remember back in Peru we took a day tour with a guy who claimed ...

... when the trains are colour coded) of the train system, a couple of times today I thought I lost it - this would've been a disaster. I did find it again, but it's getting fairly raggedy... Okay... long day, what I've written here covers maybe 1 tenth of what happened and what we've seen, but this writing business is tough work... Hope you're still with me! Check out the photos in the gallery - there are stories with them, and more photos than what appears here.

... out that all the people here are very rich since everything is so expensive. There was another floor of housewares - we saw bath towels for 15000 yen (that's like $150!)! Another floor was all women's clothing (including $50 pantyhose!) with all of the biggest name brands you can imagine - Chanel, Burberry, Celine, etc. The accessories' floor included names like Gucci, Prada, and Tiffany's. In the basement floors, there were all sorts of food vendors, including an ...

... eerste helft van de 7e inning na misschien in totaal 5 lopers een honk hebben gehaald. De eerste helft van de 7e scoorden de Tokyo Giants wel meteen 5 punten en dat was fijn. Maar aan de supporters lag het zeker niet! Geweldig om die sfeer te zien en gelukkig zijn de melodien bijna overal hetzelfde. Alleen keken ze ons wel een ebetje raar aan toen we " het is stil aan de overkant ...

... try. I fall in love with these Japanese mochi after my last year trip to Japan and I bought a few boxes from Sendai train station. The cologne sold here is way higher than in LAX. Time fly fast and now I am back to wait in line to re-board the final leg of 6 hrs flight to Bangkok. It is going to be my second visit to this city. I can't wait. I got priority boarding, again, thanks to my elite frequent-flyer status.
