We came back from Tokyo abt 3 weeks ago. Yes its our 2nd time there and this time round we were accompanied by Edy and their cousin. Not much shopping down coz we joined tour. Kinda regreted. Coz after we cfm our booking we manage to find a gd n cheap hotel at Shinjuku and airtix of northwest is onli $400+ per pax!! Its too late coz pymt has been made to the travel agency and damage is oredi done. next time perhaps.
We were so looking 4ward to go to their famous Gotemba factory outlet. However we did not buy much. Or rather i only manage to get a top from Prada, a lil dress from GAP for Baby Hailey (i tink Henson n Jaime has settle for this name oredi), a pair of Adiddas shoe for Lucas and i guess thats about all. Super dissapointing. I came out Paul Smith empty handed and that was one of the 1st few shop that we enter. I have to admit that we were given very little time to shop there. So perhaps that is one of the reason that resulted in such lil buys.
I would reckon that the best thing abt this trip is that im able to see snow for the 1st time in my entire life. It really excites me to be at Mt Fuji. A pity that i do not have the chance to play with the snow. Only able to experience the very cold temperature and take a few shots wif the snow. Got no chance to throw gf wif a snowball. hahaha! We kept posing with Edy's stylo canon eos!
Disneyland is a must for the gf. Ive kinda lost interest in Disneyland as the ride is not exciting at all. Toyko's too big n too crowded that we only manage to play one ride (space mountain). Gf saw this minnie lunchbox thingey and kept bugging the entire day to get it. We search high n low for it and finally i approached a Japanese to ask for the location of the lunchbox. She's very patient n kind to take out her map to show me where to get it. So that was how I manage to cheer the gf up wif tis lunchbox which she insist to sling it over herself til we reach the hotel. She got me something that suits me alot too. And i was surprise to receive it from her coz who the hell will noe that Disneyland actually sell this?!!!
We extended the tour by a day to have a free and ez day. Took a train dwn town. Manage to cover only Shinjuku and Harajuku. I reckon that the best part to shop is isetan. We shopped a few hrs just in 1 isetan itself. And that's where we got most of our stuffs too. We went back late at nite so there was no chance to try out any delicious ramen. But we had this food vending machine at our hotel. And the food is damn nice i tel u!
One last thing about Tokyo. If you are a smoker... tis is a MUST try if u are there. No regrets at all. Even the box is so cool la.
The only factor that makes the trip a lovely and beautiful one.... LOVE....
