First 2 days in Japan

Ya, so this is my blog for my stay in Japan.

On 9th May, first yh, then osk then horse came to my house. And then horse also sent me to the airport together with my mum. Thanks for sending me ah hanfeng. haha

Anyway on the plane, watch the movie Sweeney Todd. It's damn nice la, a lot of blood thought it's very fake. It is a musical style movie, something la Moulin Rouge like that. But just that it's sad and gross. JOHNNY DEPP IS COOL!!!!

Day 1

After touch down, took some time to get out of the airport. It's freaking 9 degrees celsius and big wind. Win already, no winter clothes only 1 puma jacket which can't even keep me warm in MPSH. Board an Airport Bus and got myself to Sheraton Hotel. That area is like damn high class and nice. But I was half-sleep throughout and needa go piss so didn't take any photo.

Then called the property agent, and took a cab to Gotanda. Cab fare starts at 810yen which is around S$12. Damn ex la and every increment is 90yen, which is around $1.10. Waited in the rain and wind for the agent as i reached earlier than him. He showed me my room, set up the internet and brought me to the nearest supermarket. I bought a roasted sweet potato there for my lunch and went back home.

Slept awhile and explore the place abit. Search for the nearest train station and took a train to Shinjuku. Anyhow walk around and discovered a 9 floors Kinokuniya. Rocks!!! But all books in Japanese. Then went to some electrical appliance shop and bought a rice cooker and iron. Went into a shop on the platform of the train station, order some japanese style noodles and stand there eat finish. Very shiok, cos the hot soup in a cold day warms my BELLY!!!

walked home and do some grocery shopping. tt's day 1.

Day 2

Actually yesterday i was aimlessly walking in Shinjuku, it's raining, cold and tiring. So not to repeat the same mistakes, I woke up earlier in the day and search the internet for maps on places i going to visit today. Draw them up in a notebook and yes!!!

Went to Harajuku, somewhere near Shibuya to attend Sunday morning service at Tokyo Union Church, 11am. Anyway I dunno why when the pastor asked any newcomer, i actually stand up. Normally wont do such thing, then i gotta introduce myself to everyone. Ya, another singaporean actually come and talk to me. Gotta know more pple in Tokyo, if not will die.

Anyway, this is Harajuku Station.


After that, I really cant stand the weather, went to GAP and bought a jacket, also bought a bag to bring to work. Both are items on 50% discount. YAY, both add up to cost around S$130. Like cheaper than Gap in Singapore.

Ya, after that, head down to Akihabara to see how it's like as i think there's some cosplay parade on Sunday. This is the train that I took.


Some photos of Akihabara. Nothing fantastic, just a mega Sim Lim. Totally not fascinated by all these gadget things. But can totally imagine osk and yh spending hours in that place. So I stayed for around 15 minutes and left.



The cosplay girls in the photo are quite cute. The others are DAMN FREAKING UGLY. Actually on general, jap girls are quite cute la. But then dunno why those in cosplay so fugly. And this guy is damn gay. Ya, a lot of chee ko peh crowd around the cosplay girls to take photo. So i gotta squeeze in between those erxin pple. haiz... but never mind la, maybe those pple also think why got this oriental freak squeezing in between them.

Went to Meguro to recce how to go to my office tomorrow. It is Arco Tower and by the Meguro River. The building look quite impressive.

After that went back home. Cook dinner, wash clothes, wash dish, iron clothes. Took me a lot of time to iron the shirt. ARGH!!!!!! this is my dinner.


Anyway working tmr!! Hopefully can impress the pple there.
