Woke up at 9 and packed and check out by 1030am. A little sad to leave our room for the last 5 nights. Bought our Airport LImousine tickets for 3:40pm. Then we walked to JR Shimbashi and took the train to Shinjuku. At Shimbashi we saw there was some traditional ceremony with many men in Jap Underwear and G-Strings waiting to carry some traditional idol.

Then we transfered to the Odakyu line to Shimokitazawa. Then was some being lost and hungry. Found the shop Jam Cover, recommended by Mari-san but it was closed and will open at 1pm so we went to eat at this place that had a TV award for best Noodles. Then we walked around Shimokitazawa- Em liked it a lot- actually thought we should come here earlier- lots of cool shops for the young. She bought a pair of shoes at one of this cool small boutiques that were part of a cafe. Walked back to Jam Cover by 1:35 and Em bought some cute stuff there. Rushed back to Akihabara to buy Mr Donut back home and me to get the Sony Sound recorder. We reached at 2:35 and Akihabara was crowded since this was last 2 days of Golden Week. Met up at 3pm and then rushed back to hotel by 3:30pm- walking briskly we just made it. Then began our journey home. The AL came at 3:40 exactly and we reached Narita by 4:50pm- early. The airport was not busy at all. Narita Airport SIA A380 Model

 The customs had no QUEUE!!! Checked-in and then shopped last minute gifts to bring back. Found the abalone snacks at last. Flew off Tokyo at 7:30pm and touched down at 1:05am Singapore.

The journey was calm compared to the flight going to Tokyo. Took a cab back and reached home at about 2am. The end of this nice but hectic trip. New places discovered and Tokyo still a great destination for us.
