Day 5 n 6

Now I've understand what is globalisation. In Nokia's Mechanics Team, there are a lot of japanese, 3 koreans, 3 singaporeans (including me) a new zealander chinese, an indonesian chinese and all the big shot are from finland. Like a lot of nationalities right.

Originally wanted to go to Tokyo Tower on wednesday as i understand from the website that they have some live band performance on both wednesday and thursday evening. However, i realised that i forgot to bring my camera out, so no point going. Some photo of the view from my seat in the office. The left side photo can see the reflection of myself on the window. haha.

Wednesday lunch went to eat with 2 japanese uncle, the 2 sporeans and a korean. Ate some spicy rice in a Korean restaurant. Really damn spicy. Make me today shit tt time asshole like on fire like tt.

In the end, I left office at 8pm on wednesday, again, take Yamanote Line to go back Gotanda and ate this at some small shop. dunno why since i come to japan, my appetite damn good. Must be because of the cold weather, so needa eat more to keep myself warm.



















Thursday morning, first thing is to make sure that i remember to bring the camera out, so i can go tokyo tower in the evening.

So this is the picture of my office in the day.



















Anyway the cold front left on thursdya, so the temperature rose a bit and it's not that cold. Good news. Another thing is that i've gotten some nokia jacket today. Yeah, tt look quite nice.

For lunch, cos I have a meeting at 1, so went for an early lunch with one of the singaporean. He asked along a japanese girl along. That girl seems to work for nokia as some event organiser. Look quite cute for a 30 year old. Went for some nepalese restaurant to eat...

As for the rest of the day, went for some training and left office slightly earlier at 1830. On my trip to Tokyo Tower. YA!!




















Took the Yamanote Line to Hamamatsucho station and walked for 15min. Then you'll be at tokyo tower. You wont lost your way cos the tower is damn obvious. So these are the photo of the tower from very far and from the bottom.



Dunno why got a shrine like thing inside the tower. And someone praying to it. And try to see some structure of the tower.






















So the above 2 are photos from the lower observatory level, which is around 150m above ground. The will take another lift up to 250m above ground. ya, the pic with me inside, I asked an ang moh to take for me. He seems very friendly.














Anyway, the left is my self-taken shot. HAHA. And a view of Tokyo's night at the higher level.

This picture on the left actually is nothing spectacular, just wanna show that at the very far end you can see some colourful ferris wheel. And also some suspension bridge. If I'm not wrong, that place is Yokohama. Anyway see that ferris wheel make me remember the show "Golden Ferris Wheel" really missed watching it. haiz... lame....






Anyway I will paste a few more photo of the tower and so on. Some souvenir shop as well. Anywya going up the tower cost 1420yen. Bought a t-shirt there for 3000yen also. Damn ex...



















This photo is taken by using the timer on the camera. Not bad hor. HAHA!! The pictures below on the left is the live band playing and singing jazz. Not bad. As for the right, it's some glass panel on the floor on the observatory level where you can see all the way underneath. Seems scary but ya, quite interesting.





















Then walk awhile more, I left the tower. Actually right in front of the tower, there is a very traditional japanese style shrine. Took a few pictures of it. The signboard says no dog allowed. Made me recall how they bullied the Chinese last time as Jap embassy used to have signboards saying no dog and chinese allowed. It also seems like all the clay figure represents a dead person. There are names surrounding the shrine. Dunno is that related to the war or not. Anyway, I still find these tradition parts of Japan very interesting.











































So finally took train back to Gotanda and again, must eat those set meal with both noodles and rice then can feel full. Eat like that everyday sure grow even fatter. sian.... Anyway on the way back home, it's the first time I managed to get a seat on a japanese train. Dunno why Japan is always so crowded at anytime... Amazing...

Ja...
