Photo snapping away at Meiji-Jinga & Weird Fashion in Shibuya
i am beginning to get used to the onsen after shower. fantastic.
ok, time really flies after it has passed the half way mark of my trip here in Tokyo. how come leh? I am only left with 2 days before I flew back home. and it seems like i still have so many places i have yet to visit . of course, i am broke too. everyday has been shopping and shopping. there isnt a day back without a shopping bag after my first day. not forgetting to mention that i have exceeded my budget too. hehe...
oh ya, yesterday i tried the egg with cup noodles bought from the convenience store. it was so highly recommended by urs, that i have to tried it. believe it, the egg was superb!! it was neither half-boiled nor hard-boiled. yum yum. how i wish i can bring it back home. hahaha..
tested some functions of my new expensive e-dictionary. oh man, it was well-worth the money. though right now, half of the time, i am still trying to figure out the function. the e-dictionary has more function that i thought it had. it even provided 7 spoken language conversation which includes chinese, french and more. moreover, it has a speaker too. so you can listen to the correct pronunication. note: english is not spoken with a jap accent (^O<). i also loved the fact that it has oxford english dictionary too. so i can use this to check out chem words instead of flipping through the actual dictionary book.
morning i went to Meiji-Jinga. the place was serene and filled with lots of trees. hahaha. upon reaching the temple itself, i suddenly felt like seeing innuyasha or some shrine related anime brought a life. so those temple lady really did wore white blouse with red skirting. amazing. did what most tourist do, i bought charms for myself and my family and wrote prayers too. last but not least. wondering is today a real good day, cos there are so many marriage ceremony with 2 hours or so. total i have witness 3 different groups. i did not see the whole proceeding only saw them walking through the shrine then professional photo-taking. kinda funny too. cos whereever they appeared everyone will whipped out their camera and start shooting at the couple like they are some celebrities or something. i'm included in the crazy crowd too. hahaha. what luck i had.
luck seems to follow me today. as it only started to drizzle after i had finshed enjoying the osaka yaki out in the open. the hotate was huge and there are 2 in it. best is it only cost 400yen. the drizzling wont dampened my spirits so i went to the famous takeshit dori, where all kinds of fashion are there. be it for mens or ladies, they both equally have the same number of shop. knowing how much i have left in my wallet. i dared not making impulsive expenditure. nevertheless, i still managed to get some real steals. hmm.. maybe i may go back there again on my last day to get the nice sling bag, provided i still have cash left. hehe.. i bought a berms for 500yen only. real cheap!! never thought i could get such cheap stuffs in Tokyo. haha... bought some other things too but nothing too weird. so total spendings there is less than 50 bucks. considered little to me. XD
after which it started to rain pretty heavily when i walked to mandarake. fortunately nothing caught on to my attention. so no need to spend. haha... next up, wanted to go to square enix. however, i think i copied the wrong map (think the map is their main office). so the walk there was fruitless and so sorry to the guy who spoke little english that has helped and bring me to the place. feel so paiseh that i had wasted his time. (^O^)
weather is pretty cold due to the rain. around 7.30pm, it was 7 degree celsius. my hands were freezing and my face felt stiff.
therefore, today i ended my trip out early. went back to my ryokan about 8plus pm. well, dont feel like staying out in the cold rain. not a pleasant experience after all. departmental store doesnt interest me not when most things look the same as in singapore. however, am glad for the brief walk around t\at the basement food area, had quite a fair share of food-tasting. yum..
