Photo taken from Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building observation deck - Level 45.
Whenever I cross a busy intersection in Tokyo I kind of have this nausea feeling on me. My eyes literally rolls very fast because of the fast motion of people walking from all directions. At one stage I could feel this heavy feeling on me and I nearly threw up.
This city was really an eye-opener for me. On the weekends, Tokyo was jammed packed with locals shopping and queuing for food or just queuing for the sake of nothing. I wouldn’t say I had a great or fun time… maybe the right word to describe this trip is “it’s different” just like how Bob Harris (Bill Murray) from Lost in Translation felt.
I was surprised that I did not go CRAZY-MAD on shopping. DJ was surprised too. The queue to the fitting room to the cashier has put me off from buying. My advice: never shop on weekends.
Next in my travel planner – Osaka “the gourmet food capital of Japan.” I think Tokyo is too fast pace for me.
I still have 1000+ photos to edit…arggh… more updates later. Time for bed.
I went to this building too. But how come I feel my view is not as nice as yours? haha…
I also want to go Osaka… after watching the china-made movie 非诚勿扰, the view seems spectacular.
Ya Osaka is my next Japan destination too. Apparently it’s not as hectic like Tokyo.
How many days were you in Japan?
i spent 1st day in Tokyo, 2nd day in 箱根, 3rd day in between 箱根 and Tokyo, and last day in Tokyo.
I have different hobby than you, I was so thrilled to meet Mr. Mickey Mouse!!! (though i met MM before in LA… but I cannot remember it was so thrilled, haha)
Bought so many titbits from Tokyo, so nice to eat lah thier everything. Yum Yum… (almost finished by now already)
I didn’t get to buy any food. Our snow gears took up most of our luggage allowance. Wanted to buy some of the cookie but it’s just way too expensive.
I spent most of my money from buying drinks from the vending machines. Hahaha.
