1) Got my Alien Registration Card, something to prove the identity of foreigners staying in Japan.
2) Bought a 8GB microSDHC card for only 4150yen, around S$55. Now my N82 can serve as a MP3 player. YAY.
3) Follow a colleague to buy a LV bag as birthday gift for his wife. My passport was used so the duty fee can be waved. First time really entering such branded shop and getting stuff from there...
Ok, so on friday, had dinner with the Taiwanese supplier and sg colleague in Shibuya. After dinner, on the way home, saw this watermelon in cube shape. I saw this on tv before, it's to save space when packing and transporting. But it is the first time seeing it "live". haha.
Saturday we decide to go to Yokohama to walk. Yokohama is the 3rd largest city in Japan, after Tokyo and Osaka. It is 30min away from Tokyo only, serving as a port to Tokyo as well. So to go to Yokohama, needa take a train from Shinagawa Station. This shinagawa is really big, just a photo of the station.
Reach Yokohama station after like 20minutes train ride and had lunch at a fast-food restaurant. The Taiwanese supplier just snap a shot of the waitress when i was ordering my food. Quite cute right...
After that, we took another train to the Chinatown of Yokohama. This is the largest Chinatown in Japan. Before that, the taiwanese snapped another shot when me and the sg senior walked out from Mac.
The entrance gate to Chinatown.
This Chinatown is pretty big. As the Taiwanese's hobby is to take photo of anything, these are 2 random shots of a chiobu crossing the road.
You know you are in Chinatown when you see this.... It cant be Japan, must be china...
And to the Japanese, China is just Panda and Bruce Lee. So everywhere in Chinatown, you'll see bruce lee stuff and panda.
And Hello-Kitty in panda outfit, which i think is quite cute.
I think any chinatown in the world is about FOOD. Whenever you see this 4 words in Japan, 食べ放題, it means buffet. All you can eat. And this particular restaurant is endorsed by 長澤まさみ. Think yaohui will like to eat this man...
And this restaurant remind me of 李南星 in 黃金路.
I dunno whether anyone know this or not. As long as u rub the side of this basin of water, when it reach resonance, the water will really vibrate vigorously and gave out some special sound...
Another thing is that in Japan, you always see young pretty girl dating ugly old ojisan. Seems like they cannot resist the temptation of $$ sia... 2 shots taken by the Taiwanese again.
So, as we walk and walk, we've left Chinatown and reached the seaside.
Yokohama is quite western style because the westerners used to stay here in the 19th century to trade and so on. It's the gateway of Japan and the Western countries in the Meiji Era. And it's me!!!
Another random shot of chiobu eating 肉包. Even eating bun also so gracious... But the bf like quite ugly....
Just a few pictures of the seaside. Can see windmill, an alternative source of energy and also suspension bridge. Very engineering related stuff.
This is me, having a photo in front of the map of how olden Yokohama's layout is like. By the way, Yokohama is 横浜.
Me and the Taiwanese supplier.
On this particular bridge, there is this grass slope where pple will slide on it. Very fun to play with. It's a very relaxing place, can let out of the stress you suffered in Tokyo for the week. Me and the sg senior lying on the grass slope.
An attempt to act cute by me.
Another random shot of chiobu at the same place.
So we just spent the day there and at night, we slowly walked and proceed to the place where the ferris wheel is. This is the place where there are quite a few thrill rides. We took this roller coaster.
And I also enter a room where the temperature is -30deg. Can only stay there for around 5min... Then we have dinner there as well. 
Dun really know the name of the food, only know that it's some 関西, Kansai region, food. After the meal, saw some street performance. The man were juggling fire torch and blowing them and eating the fire. Paid him some $$ for his effort after his performance.
Sunday, woke up pretty late. Attend the 1330 church service at Tokyo Baptist church which is in Daikan-yama, 代官山. After which, went to have a haircut at QB house, which was located in some subway station and saw these.
The special thing about these drawings is that they were drawn using Solidworks. Solidwork is the 3D-drawing software that we learnt in NUS. Pretty impressive. They have a collection of it and displaying at the station.
And took a photo using my N82 while waiting for lift. This is how Japanese apartment looks like. Can also see a reflection of me, HAHA.
Anyway, Christopher and Mingyang are coming on Tuesday. YAY!
