Day 7
haha go to tokyo tower in the morning.. for shopping of course.. since it is the last day...
yikes... my forehead looks so high up... cant take nice photos with the tower..
SOOOO..........
we try again!!!
i love this photo.. heeheee.. good phototaking skill right?????
bought a backpack from one of the shops there.. haha.... quite nice.. new backpack for schoolll..
den cherng yew says he want to pick red leaves.. cuz he saw some trees around the tokyo tower that has red leaves.. so we 爬山涉水 went to pick leaves and take some photos..
haha too kua zhang liao..
den we proceed to Meiji Shrine.. the best-known Shrine in Japan.. the Japanese Prime Minister and his cabinets and also the Royal Family will go there on every new year to pray for the country.. long walkway in..
those things behind are rice wines that are given to the shrine by all the top rice wine companies in Japan..
Make a Wish.. Make a Wish~~
..often see Japanese write down their wishes on such wooden blocks and hang on such shelves... this activity is actually called 绘马.. 绘=画/draw.. this is because in the past, Japanese have to tie a horse to the shelves to pray... but many poorer ppl cant afford to buy a horse.. so they started to draw horses to replace the real horse.. so this activity has now become 绘马.. clear explanation? hahah
outside the Meiji Shrine.. there are some groups of youngsters who are keen of cosplay... so they often dress up and stand around the area... cherngyew and jinrong actually went to ask a group if can take a photo of them.. haha.. and they gladly agreed..
den went on to shopping at Takeshita Dori.. hahaha.. all the way till the near evening..
den we went back to Shibuya.. Disney Shop.. cuz wanna buy some gifts and all.. so uncle philip brought us specially back to the disney shop.. and we rushed through cuz he had made reservation in one restaurant..
took photos on Shibuya Street..
how to see this picture??? from your top left hand corner... clockwise..
1) the road was clear...
2) green man appears.. those who have immediate response started walking..
3) everyone start walking..
4) the whole junction is filled up with people..
this junction is very different from those in singapore... in shibuya.. this junction can be walked diagonally.. or in fact any directions u wish to.. haha.. as long as u are out of the junction when the green man turns red.. FANTASTIC! many photographers like to take photos of this junction..
okay.. our last dinner in tokyo..
this restaurant is somewhere near our house.. Uncle said that George Bush had been invited to this restaurant before during his visit to Japan.. haha.. a place of great ambience.. lively..
great food!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this minced chicken meat.. the thing in the sauceplate is..................... EGG~.. i think is 温泉蛋..
haha i tried it without dipping in the egg.. but i realised the food becomes very common.. but with the egg.. woah~ SPECIAL~ hahaha... the next table beside us ordered this too.. but they didnt ask for the egg.. wasted.. they have missed the good food.. hahaha..
wah... 7 days of tokyo trip.. short trip lah.. seriously haha.. but i'm glad that is a free and easy trip.. haha.. thank you uncle philip and auntie poey kee for the warm hospitality.. haha.. i doubt i will dare to go japan in free and easy manner without them.. haha... cuz i dunno how to communicate with them~ HAHAH...... i only know "arigato gojalimasu"??? and..."seumimaseh?"""" hahaha............................................. luan lai~ hahaha...
