all other things in tokyo

1) ito-ya



my most fruitful stop. 8 floors of stationary. amazing. spore shld have 1 too!


2) grandma n kid braving the wind


that day was really quite a windy day n my hat flew off 3 times. so i eventually took it off. then i while walking i notice this boy. but only after i took the shot did i realised his cap has a elastic band! i was like ' wah! like that also have!' looks like the work of a grandma :)


3)talk show interview


managed to catch them for a bit. tho i was really scared to take pics of pple there. u know how they r abt being all private n not disturbing pple right. i mean, they have 'no phones' sign on all public transport k. remember how its 'annoying' ?

4)toilets


obviously i had to try every button on it. the 'oscillating' on was my favourite.

5) advertisements


they have rubber faces. all the time. its their society. it stifles n conforms everyone to a pt they go rubber.

6) macdonalds


i always make it a pt to step into macs when im travelling cos they always have local stuff. n of cos to compare the standard n food quality. aussies have yummier chicken patties for their mc-chicken burger. china has AMAZING yeriyaki burger (which came with yao ming toys when u order happy meals). hmm, i wonder y i havent tried thail's macs, but thai KFC's spicy wings r powerful too man. in japan, they have teriyaki of cos, n some prawn batter one n i cant rem what else. they had the usual big mac too, that i remember.
i also make it a pt to buy food up the plane cos aeroplane food make me puke. ince the food cart comes out, ill be hiding under the blanket. i bought my macs teriyaki burger for my ride back but didnt get to it cos i had a cup noodle too, haha. my brother wacked it once i got home. he said its ok. but to my brothers, everything is 'ok'.

7) bushy building


i guess since most of japan got bombed n rebuilt architecture was really quite unique n interesting.


8)pachiko ( i think thats what its called, i can never quite get it)


when u walk down lanes so quiet on a sunday afternoon n suddenly u see a glimmer of hope, that there is some light ( ok lots of lights, n flashing ones, too) it can only be a pachiko joint.
can u just see how much pachiko balls this old man has ordered?!?!?!?? either he sucks so badly, if not pachiko is really something. if i had enough time, id go in n see whats so wah-wah abt it too..
