Tokyo : Shibuya

I am blogging this on the plane home. It's a really long journey, 7 hrs 30 mins of flight back. I wonder why it only took 6hrs 40mins when we took the flight to Tokyo.

Anyway, moving on, I have finally reached the Sunday post. Had a good sleep on Sat night and decided to go out at 12 noon on Sunday. The previous day was a long one, waking up at 5am to go to the fish market.

It's gonna be a free and easy day and we decided to go to Shibuya, more like the Orchard of Sg. But then the plan stretched and we ended up going more places than planned.

A subway museum.


Shibuya got its name from this dog. Story has it that this dog waited faithfully at the station waiting for its owner to come back, never leaving that spot till it died, even thou its owner never came back ( cos he died in sch, he's a teacher)


Parco is big here, I wonder if it's the same Parco. They have Parco 1, Parco 2 and Parco 3.


GAP in Japan. Seen enough of this brand in USA already!


The only church I've seen so far. Wonder if it's like City Harvest that kind?


Faizal always had his radar on.

After so many pictures, you'd have thought that we already had our lunch. But no! So now it's time to have lunch at this classy place. One thing odd about Tokyo I found, is that sometimes food court, roadside stalls have prices similar to restaurants. Its like a normal meal would cost you around 700yen but to have food at these restaurants which have nice deco and stuff, might only cost you 900-1000 yen.

After lunch we visited the Disney Store. It's a big thing here, you see Disney stuff everywhere. Guess it's coz of the Disneyland.


Next stop, Yoyogi park. This place has a lot of performances by budding artists. It can range from bands to comedy and abstract stuff. Not to mention strange people who do the weirdest things.

Walking further into the park, we stumble upon the Sungei road of Sg!! There's tons of ppl selling stuff here, not sure if they need any license for it but the sellers here are certainly not uncles!! In fact, even the road sweeper was a 20 year old girl with make up. Wanted to take a shot but didn't managed to get a good shot of her.

This is a concert hall where many performances by bands are held.

Elvis worshippers?

Till this point, i realised this is quite a long post, and of course a long day. Went to their Meiji Shrine which was destroyed in a fire or earthquake, can't remember, and rebuilt using public donations.

They had some ice carvings exhibition going on, wonder if it's all year round.

By the time we came out, it's already dark but not late. Skies turn dark here pretty early at around 5pm. This shot was taken around 530pm. After that we had our dinner.

Well, you would have thought the post would end here! But no, actually we went to another place called Odaiba. There's ferris wheel there and you could see the Rainbow Bridge of Tokyo and a scaled down version of the SoL. It's very cold as it was near the sea and many of my shots turned out to be blurred. ( shivering hands haha)

The ferris wheel from far. Didn't managed to go there coz it was a 20 mins walk and by the time we explored the Rainbow bridge and SoL we had barely enough time to catch the 930 shuttle back to out hotel.

That's all! Finally reached the end of Sunday's blog. As usual there are more photos to check out here.
