A few months ago i went to Odaiba. It was an interesting place witch quite a lot of history behind it. From what i remember, it is one of seven man-made islands in Tokyo. I know that it originally had several cannons on it, but now there are only two. There are several places of [...]
Two weekends ago i met up with some family in Kamakura. It is a very quaint old town. I heard some of the history from them. Basically Kamakura was once the capitol of japan, it marked an end to one era and the start of another. When i first got there there were not many [...]
So two weekends ago I went to Kaihinmakuhari, the main purpose of this trip (other than getting out on the weekend) was to visit a Carrefours. Carrefours is a french supermarket. I went with Cheung who is french (now can you see why?). We first visited the supermarket, but then decided to not buy much [...]
Saturday morning i went to the Oktoberfest (German Festival) in Hibiya-Koen. I must say i had a blast. It was good eats and good food, not to mention MANY japanese having a good time. Hibiya-Koen is very near where i work, though i have never been there. I transfer at Kasumigaseki every time i come [...]
So Friday night I went to a yakiniku tabehodai (all you can eat yakiniku) and nomihodai (all you can drink) in Shibuya. It was about 5 minutes or so from the station, and i dont think i was told the name of the place, but if i was i cant remember for the life of [...]

Went to Inokashira Koen today, here’s the pics.
Happy New Years! or Akemashite omedeto gozaimasu! I left for shibuya ~11 and got there ~11:20. I was surprised at the lack of people. I read that new years eve is treated as Christmas eve in the states. This makes sense why koji went with his parents to an onsen. On the other hand i [...]
Umbrellas – I am not sure if the weather has been surprisingly good or just normal while I have been here, but Japanese surely have a use for umbrellas. It has only really rained for two days out of my trip which has been ten days so far. I guess I never noticed until it [...]
The plane ride – I arrived at the airport around 11:45 for a 2:10 flight. I wanted to get there early so that in case I encountered any setbacks they would not delay my trip. Everything went surprisingly smooth. I checked my luggage in 15 minutes and found my gate in another 5. This left [...]
