Mad Tokyo, Day 4

12 Dec 07, Wed

It's Day 4, and days passed by quickly here. A big part of the reason could be due to the weather also. Hmmm...The original plan was to visit either Mt Fuji or Yokohama where Chinatown is. Both were abandoned for Ueno (again!), Takashimaya Times Square (again!) and Tokyo Dome. My adventurous Missy 'psycho' us to take on the exciting roller coaster with her. She exclaimed it would be an unforgettable ride. Well, it's true for them. I wasn't in the mood and became the locker-lady in the end.

Breakfast: Pancakes and donuts from AM/PM store.

Sakura has a small 'meeting room' where guests gather for meals, serve internet and watch tv programs. Right now, we're busy having breakfast and checking out the itinearary for the day.

Yap! We would need to alight at Suidobashi station to get to Tokyo Dome.

Little Red Letter Box

While on our way to the train station, saw a cool owner with his cool dog. Wonder if dogs are allowed on the train?

It's a great sight to behold at Shinjuku. I'd gone back there to help my Sis purchased some cosmetics at Takashimaya. They were closed at about 8.30pm the previous night.

Another reason was Krispy Creme donuts too!

Hot donuutss rolling out.

Watching the sugar glaze pouring down on the donuts... *slurp*!

Why didn't we have it back home??

All these for tonight's supper and tomorrow's breakfast!

Back at Shinjuku station, out favourite locker awaited for us. We kept our purchases in here before we went on to Ueno.

By the way, here's just a mini guide to the different exits at Shinjuku station. They are depicted by colours then numbers.

A small school girl. She looked like some western cartoon character, called Madeline??

Orange and his nap again.

We're here to shop for sneakers this time.

Majority of the retail shops were selling these range.

Can't help but buy these sweet-looking strawberries at Yen 200.

Missy was captivated by the BIG Chinese Pau at this stall.

But we all had our eyes on this Taco Pachi stall.

The sauce and bonito flakes were placed at a nearby table for you to add yourself. Free-flow!

Ohhh.. we had prawn and/or octupus. They were very fresh, and I think the lady had gotten the fresh seafood straight from the wet market opposite!

I couldn't recall if we happened to be there or Ms Chew suggested going to Sony building. Anyway, she was enthusiastic.

Well, I must say VERY! But, we each ended up with a new camera by the time we walked out of there. By the way, the sales staff assured us that the guarantee is valid internationally. Unlike if your were to purchase it at home.

Well, time to move on to Tokyo Dome. I know Missy couldn't wait!

WOW...!!

While they were rolling crazily on those hot wheels, I'd made myself comfortable inside Baskin Robbins with my favourite strawberry ice-cream. Frankly? I would prefer Baskin Robbins to Ben & Jerry's. I'd definitely order the largest cup with my friend when in Kuala Lumpur.

Missy and Ms Chew had their cravings at a vending machine on the train platform.

Couldn't recall where we had this ramen for dinner. May be some forgotten dinner.

Donuts for supper! Luckily, they made up for the ramen we'd.
