So we re-traced our steps and went onward to Tokyo. I was particularly excited because Tokyo was meant to be amazing. (Or as Rachel Zoe would say, AMAH-ZING). But may I proceed with my first observations with Tokyo - the subways have no escalators!!! I had to lug my bag up flights and flights of stairs, and it was a nightmare. Why oh why did I bring all that stuff from Malaysia? What was I thinking? Why oh why did I buy that moh-chi from Hakone? Seriously!!! Travel light. MUST. TRAVEL. LIGHT. My mantra from now on. (Fast forward a few months... still didn't learn my lesson!)
Got to Roppongi and checked into the apartments - they were really cool and have I mentioned that they were better than Hotel Kyotokko? (I think anything would be better than Kyotokko in my eyes!) As we were in starvation central, we thought that we'd wander into this ramen store next to the hotel. I thought the food was tasty enough, but Daisuke told me that it was crap. Oh, did I mention that I met up with Dai? More of that later on...
So cut to later that evening when we decided that we should head to Shinjuku to what Mel De-Costa would say "Let's go see lights". The neon lights in Shinjuku were meant to be AMAZING and that would outdo anything we've ever seen before. But to be honest, either they did not live up to the expectations, or we had wandered into the wrong hood (we were lost ALOT, but it was a lot of fun!). I have a feeling that it was the latter. :)
But we managed to get up the one of the Tokyo Government Buildings (Jin, Von, KS - help me here, what was it called?) and saw the Tokyo night skyline. And it was amazing. We took forever to get there and when we were there, we made the most of it. Photo after photo after photo, so worth it!
We finally got some dinner - there was a huge debate about who wanted what, so we finally bought some burgers (it wasn't Moss burger people - I just can't remember what it was called) from this burger joint. Mine was pretty rank, but Kok Siew came out on top with her ebi burger! Who knew??? Ebi=prawn.
We finally decided to get some sleep and get ready for the next day to go to the Magic Kingdom! Woo hooo!!! Oh, and I think Jin might've punched me in my sleep, right about here....
