Land Of The Rising Sun : Day 1, Part 1

Hello folks! Sorry for the lack fo updates since February the 6th as I was away for quite some time. Many of you may have know that I went to Japan for holiday. Well, not the whole family. Just me and my dad. My dad will be working throughout the day and I will be alone to wonder around with a map in my hand. Sounds exciting? When I got back from Japan, went for my shower and off to my family's Chinese New Year Reunion Dinner. The next day, I went off to Bangkok with my whole family. Aunty, Uncle, Cousin brother and sisters.

I am finally settled down after all the bustle and hustle. Anyways, Happy Chinese New Year to all my friends. Hope I am not late :D So I left to Japan with an overnight flight. So I was sleeping all the way and when I woke up, I am in the land of the rising sun. I have reached Narita Airport. Took a one and a half hours bus ride from the Airport to Akasaka Prince Hotel. The hotel is located at an area called Akasaka-Mitsuke, Tokyo.


The very first photo I took. I used a 500mm for this one and the flower was at the other end of the shop :D Very poisonous. HAHA. Not using any tripod or monopod. 100% hand held!



The first thing I did was freshen up in a small guest room in the hotel since my room was not ready yet. Left the hotel and off to Yodobashi, Akhibara ; which is an electronic store which sells house hold items, phones, 100" TV and other stuff that you can think off. It is a must to visit Yodobashi when you are in Japan. My main purpose was to hunt for cameras. I was amazed when I saw the amount of lenses that was put on display for you to play with. Never in Malaysia I had the chance to do so.


My lunch at Yodobashi. Almost every Yodobashi in Japan, you can find restaurants at the top floor. You can find Japanese food, Chinese food, Western and so many more.

So I spent hours at Yodobashi and guess what. I managed to get my Mountain Dew. Practically I was over the moon.


Outside Yodobashi when the sun was shining right in front of my camera as you can see the flare

The photo I took as soon as I stepped out of the Tokyo Metro(Underground train). The last of the blue skies.


Later that night I went to Ueno which was another district.


You can find hundreds of shoes at cheap prices. When I say cheap, I really mean it :) Some of you might be asking if those shoes are original. YES its original. Well, I went walking for hours along the market and the stuff you see is the incredible. The atmosphere was totally different.


The food and seafood you see on sale was just incredible. I bought a box of Kit Kat cookies and some other stuff at this store alone. HAHA! You see the guy in the grey sweater? He takes whatever he sees(sweets, chocolate, biscuits and even energy bar) and throws it in a bag. Then you will buy the bag filled with goodies for 1000 yen.


While walking along the street, you can see hundreds of shops selling fishes and octopus tentacles. They even sell 2 large peices of unagi for 60 ringgit. If you like unagi, this is the place for you to go.


The last picture I took before I left Ueno.

Well, I will continue my Day 1 in Part 2 as there is so many things to write. I don't want to post everything in a single post. Well, check back soon if you want more. Jepun girls? :D
