So it has been 6 nights in Tokyo, we'll lets say it was a experience to remember!
The food, the people and the things to do, definitely a place to to add to your bucket list!
Some quick points:
- juiciest apples ever eaten, even for $1.50 each, it's like they injected it with a bucket of juice!
- the drains have faces on them
- Suntory - famous for its whiskey has a Suntory boss coffee which comes in a can.. One for only bosses and mangers to drink, however what got me laughing on the ground was that they have a stern looking tommy lee jones as the spokesperson.. Guess of he was my boss I will work harder!
- remotes have 12 numbers on them why? Because they can ! We should have the same I am sick of pressing the 1+2 button for channel 12 wait we don't have a channel 12 oh well we should have them anyway!
We also has our lost I'm translation moment by visiting the Park Hyatt in Tokyo located in Ginza, level 39 had awesome views too bad it was cloudy and we couldn't see 10 m outside the window however we decided to stay for tea /coffee and burgers which was very nice! And worth the visit!
Now fashion, not that I know anything about fashion or pretend but I heard that White is the new black this season (joke) ... Tokyoians are very fashionable actually most Japanese are snappy dressers I know the stereotype Japanese business man in their black suits are boring but they do each jazz it up with their shirts or ties or pins :-) but back to the common street people now please refer to my "mr speedy" photo you will know which one it is! :-) agree or disagree they are interesting!
Now to theme parks we have been to universal studios in osaka and Disney land Tokyo people have dressed up as in really dressed up I can't tell the difference between the people who work there and guests!! It is noted that Alice from Alice in wonderland is the most popular choice !
So if cosplay is your thing japan is definitely the place to be! *Gentlemen you know who you are :-p*
My highlight of Tokyo was the studio ghilbli museum, my favourite movie from them is porco rosso a movie about a man turned pig fighting air pirates is amongst other famous movies such as spirited away, ponyo and my neighbour totoro. I would say it is the Japanese Disney but classier (yeah I know big call)
Also found some lost keys let me know if they are yours!
P.S for all those who are keeping count I haves used up my 32/16/8 Gb memory cards and now down to my last 4Gb card!! Results from shooting in RAW!
Now back to osaka for round 2!
