Bunny's Japan Trip Continued







On Saturday morning, we woke up early and headed into Tokyo for a full day of sightseeing. We started off in Asakusa and visited the Sensoji Temple and Nakamise-dori shopping avenue. Bunny bought some gifts for friends and colleages back in Hong Kong and I spent about 5000yen on postcards for my internet postcard swapping group (Postcrossing www.postcrossing.com).

After Asakusa, we headed to Ginza to check out the high-end stores in the fashion capital of Japan. It was easy for us to get there as we had purchased Tokyo Metro (subway) day passes in the morning. We walked around Ginza for awhile and then headed to Shinjuku. Once in Shinjuku, we eventually made our way to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Buildings where we took elevators 45 floors up to the North and South observatories. We were able to see stunning views of all of Tokyo and took a lot of pictures.

We met Daryle around 5:00pm and went for dinner at our favorite Indian curry restaurant in Shinjuku. After dinner we quickly headed to Shibuya to see the famous Hachiko dog statue and also see the reknowned Shibuya crossing which has the greatest people traffice in the entire world. We headed back to Shinjuku and began our drinking stint at Advocates. From 6pm-9pm, Advocates does a beer blast (all you can drink) for 1000yen. We met some really nice people outside and met up with 2 of Daryle's ex-boyfriends (Mitsuru & Dondon). Next, we went to Dragon for a cocktail blast! Same thing as above but only cocktails. Bunny and I took the 11:30pm train back home and got to Moriya around 12:30am.

On Sunday, Bunny and I decided not to go to the Ushiku Daibutsu as it would eat up alot of our day so we went shopping instead at LalaPort at Kashiwa-no-ha Campus TX Station and Nagareyama O-taka-no-mori Shopping Centre at Nagareyama O-taka-no-mori TX Station. We met with Daryle for dinner at Kappa Zushi in Moriya.

Bunny, left this afternoon to catch his bus to the airport and is currently sitting on the airplane in the air as I am typing this. He is on his way back to Hong Kong. I really enjoyed having him stay with me in Japan and hope he enjoyed his vacation and had a lot of fun. I do hope that I can visit HongKong some day soon as it would be great to visit there and see Bunny again!
