Day 6 - Tsukiji Fish Market + Nakano + Ginza
Managed to wake up early for the fish market. Reached there at about 7 am. Saw long queues outside sushi stalls already.. Of course, we picked the one with shorter/ no queue. haha.. Well, its a fish market, so it's all fresh right?
That is not crab stick, it's snow crab's partial leg
*slurps*
tom had sashimi breakie
BEST breakie ever!! We didnt eat any sushi after that.. wanna leave the best in our tummy ^^
Next we went back hotel, slept till 10 HAHAHAHAHA
And we continued our journey to Nakano. The intention is to shop morning musume's stuff for his friends, but end up we saw uniqlo first - a boutique that is similar to our Giodarno. So the stuff was really cheap as compare to other clothings sold in Japan.
Guess woot? We spent a total of about 300+ there. I spent 100+, tom spent 200+. Luckily their tee shirts dont suit me.. else I'll end up spending more.. haha.. I bought 2x dresses, 1x white shirt, 1x slippers for mom, 1x tee for bro. Tom bought.. ALOT.
Saw lots of shoes there too.. was really tempted to buy the puma pumps in snake skin! fake glittery snake skin.. so nice can.. though it's cheap, but my spending is reaching a limit soon cos it's the 6th day already heh..and i dont wanna disappoint myself as im quite sure they dont have my size.
While ending the trip at Nakano, I bought a lacy brolly at one of the drugstores at the station.
*heart*
Then we moved on to Ginza to have Yakitori!
This is the yakitori valley at Ginza. We ate abit, and filled our stomach with udon later on.. Just for the experience I guess. They are situated below the railway track.
Tmr will be our last day here in Japan, and I wonder when will we ever go back again ..
Mixed feelings.

Day 5 - Ameyoko Market + Akihabara + Tokyo Dome City
It's a monday!! Can really see the grouchy faces around.
Well, today we're supposed to go Tsukiji Fish Market early in the morning. Supposed to wake up at 5, get ready at 6 and reach at 7! But .. The alarm didnt ring x.x or rather.. we didnt't hear the alarm. Woke up at 8 plus instead, and continued to sleep till 9+ :x
Went Ameyoko Market first :)
The place is more like a market place for people to buy fishes/ octopus/ vegetables etc those fresh food, and there are also lots of shoes and cheaper stuff there generally.
HUGE octopus legs
After walking through, we had sushi for lunch.
The sushi - BIGGGGGGGG and FRESSSSHHHHH
Passed by another strawberry stall.. so.. we bought..
3x boxes!! *evil grin*
After that we head for Tokyo Dome City to take Tom's desired roller coaster - Thunder Dolphin. THUNDER DOLPHIN!!!
LOOK AT THE TRACK!!
omg. I almost DIED can!! I started screaming when it's ascending lo!! Very throw face, but I dont care much already x.x really freaked me out.
The ride is only less than 1 minute. But the thrill is...... really good.
After that, we waited for a while for the nightfall before we go for the ferries wheel :)
Saw takopachi!
of course must eat ^^
juicy takopachi
Still waiting for nightfall
up in the ferries wheel already!
The feeling quite scary actually. Cos the roller coaster actually goes through the "hole" of the ferris wheel. But the view is magnificent! :)
As there is still time, we went Akihahbara, intending to get the PSP camera for my bro.
Overwhelmed by temptation, Tom bought a PSP there. + the camera
Reached hotel...

Day 4 - Harajuku + Shibuya Shopping
It's a sunday, so we decided to go Harajuku and Shibuya for shopping!! Firstly we went back to the udon stall at Shibuya, which we went last year. Really looking forward to the fan tuan there. But I guess we were too early, so no fan tuan available yet. Anyway, we had our breakfast there before heading to Shibuya 109.
took a photo with one of the sales girl.
Actually Shibuya's stuff are expensive, but we just wanna to look at girls in there. They are HOT. hehe.. I bought only little stuff there thought.. Then quickly we head to Harajuku already.
At the beginning of the street I've already swept quite a few accessories, undies and a clutch. HAHA.
Head to Graniph - a must buy in Japan cos SG is selling for 50 bucks, and JP selling for around 30 bucks. And i really love their designs, except that their cutting dont really suit me. not really a tee shirt person though. Bought one for Jul as requested. and 1 for myself for casual wear. :)
Of course, Bapy bags are must-gets also! I've got 3 previously, 1 from SG - given by tom, and 2 other from Japan trip last year - also given by tom. This year they've only got 2 sizing of bags, so bought both. Given by tom too ^^
Had McDonalds for lunch. They had the new Tamago Cheeseburger. Tom had that, and I had my Ebi burger.
Bape Exclusive
Tom bought a pair of shoes there, and I got for my brother his Bape x tatami slippers as requested.
Saw the bubble Prada building
From Harajuku, in addition, Tom bought his PSP pouch from HeadPorter (even before he buy his PSP), i got my new paper folder cum laptop folder from HP too. Black Beauty.
Reached hotel.. and Tom is trying on his new shoes already :D

Day 3 - Shinjuku Shopping
Early in the morning, we went back the same udon stall to have our breakie.
This is their vending machine ticket for purchasing food. That's roughly the same as every udon stall. :)
That's udon with fishcake
tom had tempura udon
Them cooking
As the udon stall is a small one, so they had limited seats, the rest are for people to eat standing up
After breakie, we went back, check out, and proceed to our 2nd hotel at Shinjuku - Keio Plaza Hotel. The reason why we changed hotel this time is not because that the locations are far.. instead, they are along the main JR yamanote line (the line leading to town areas).
Similar to last year, we holland while making our way to the hotel. Shinjuku is just so confusing. They have 283472384732087458932748923 exits. and 02478823745817598437894 lines within the station. haha!
Yup, anyway, with Tom's street-smartness, of course we're able to make our way there. ^^
Reached our hotel, so we nua abit. It's just gorgeous can! The room has bolster!! 2x normal pillows EACH, with 1 extra small pillow.
even the shampoos and stuff are so pretty!
Then we head for Shopping areas at shinjuku.. visited the different departmental stores, GAP, etc.
Walked pass a Sanrio shop and got a pweeettty key pouch there.
I'm already inside shopping for stuff
took photo with the sales ^^
Then we passed by a stall selling strawberries!
So we bought 1x box.
After shopping, till about 9+ we're almost dead. hahahaha!
Head back to hotel for strawberries
It's so delicious till...
and it's GONE!!
Had milo too ..
and bought 2x fan tuan for supper
yay. Turned in after that.
