So, Tokyo. Yeah, it was pretty exhausting, but my friend Elin, from Sweden, and I set out Friday night on the overnight bus from Osaka>>Kyoto>>Tokyo. It was cramped quarters and uncomfortable, but it got us there ok! (Although we almost missed it thanks to a policeman who sent us in the opposite direction. Never trust traffic cops at bus stations in Japan, guys!) So, we got off the bus at 7:15 in the morning in Tokyo with nowhere to stay that night and sleep deprived brains. So I decided the ...
Tokyo, Japan audrangeaSo, met up with Elin around 11:30 at the Harajuku stop on the Yamanote line.... then, tired and worn out from our night, we decided to go grab some lunch and picnic at Yoyogi Park... but first, we crossed the river on the famous bridge that led ... to the Meiji jinja (shrine), and followed the hordes of tourists from the world over being led by guides through the site. What started as a trip through a tree shaded lane trying to see what all the fuss was about ended up in our being completely ...

Nun also weit**e 10 Tage in Tokyo. Was gibt es da zu tun? Einiges!
Als **stes bin ich mal zum Ginza Captial Hotel zurück gegangen, wo wir vor drei Wochen für 4 Tage einquati**t waren. Musste dort ja meinen iPod und meine Wäsche abholen. iPod hatte ich eifach so mal liegen lassen und die Wäsche war beim Check-Out noch nicht f**tig. Trotz **neut** V**ständigungsproblemen begriffen Sie dann nach ei***** Zeit was ich von ihnen will. Üb**rascht ...
... going home for a visit. Everytime there was a service on the plane, before the flight attendants started they bowed...kinda cool. Extrememly polite as well. Who would have guessed being Japanese. The flight went up the coast of Canada and headed over the south tip of Alaska and the Bearing Sea. It had some really cool mountain ranges and Ice flows I guess...could be glaciers as well. When I left at 12:45 pm Vancouver time and I arrived the next day at 2pm. There was no night at all ...
Tokyo, Kanto, Japan gumbylivesMy last two days were very hectic, and hence I never found time to update my blog. Well better late than never and here is a summery of my last couple of days in Tokyo. Tokyo is a big big confusing place, and I must admit that for me some better planning of how to spend my days, would have gone a long way to see a lot more of Tokyo. For me after almost 4 weeks in Japan, I was more concerned about sucking every ounce of experience from my travel ...
Tokyo, Japan asn75... that people could understand us. Next to Osaka for a few days, which we really liked. We were right next to an old entertainment district, which was pretty much like Blackpool with better food, a fairground and Den Den Town (where everything electrical, animated or pornographic is sold). We also managed to find a bar called Merseyside Mojo, and the hippy Japanese Lennonish owner told Beano he looked like "Paul" (i.e. Macartney). In Kyoto we stayed at a weird little Guest Inn, with a ...
Tokyo, Japan helsbells78Tokyo just might be the largest city in the world, comprised of 23 individual wards, all with their own unique characteristics. Foreigners are easily intimidated by the sheer expanse of Japan's capital city and its 17 million inhabitants (5 million are commuters); however, due to this volume alone Tokyo has developed an unmatched public transportation system and an intricate network of visitor friendly information ...
Tokyo, Japan frankjohnson... that I AM IN JAPAN. also im surrounded by all the American trainers and class mates and feel like im `TOTALLY` geting a slight american twang.. Creepy huh!!! We headed down to Shibuya which is one of the main city areas in Tokyo. and felt like Scarlet although I wasnt that lost in translation(thank gawd) and the first pub we stumbled into was this Irish pub... O`Reilleys Bar.. What a great way to experience Japanese nightlife. anyway the vibe there wasnt that great so we ...
Tokyo, Japan floatyfeet... restaurant. It was a restaurant for hot pot only. Customers only needed to pay a fixed amount of money and they could eat as much as they wanted to. Japanese mainly eats beef for "shiyabu shiyabu". They cut the beef to a very thin pieces and put them into a pot of boiling water. We were so tired on the first day so we straight back to the hotel after dinner
Shinjuku, Japan yannam... to the station gave us our first glimpse of Japan outside the airport, and the sheer excitement of actually being there was more than enough to overcome my bone-jarring fatigue. I wouldn't be getting any sleep on the train, either. We rocketed past back roads, rice paddies, soy bean fields, and suburbs that were at once completely the same and totally different from their American counterparts. Rows and rows of houses lining very narrow roads, almost all of them with decks ...
