Day 1 - Tokyo

We reach tokyo at abt evening time, its quite cold, abt 9degrees and we bought the Bus ticket to Shinjuku. Our hotel is just a 5 mins walk from the Shinjuku station butttt, we walk one whole round to get there. We carry the heavy luggage the whole big round ard Shinjuku, LUCKY its winter, else i will faint.

Tons Cigarettes Machines. its quite cheap too. abt 6-7 bucks ? We bot some before we came back. Nice and super packaging as presents for ppl who smoke.

After we check in, we went to eat..we're so hungary. Went to a cafe jus downstairs, had a set meal. Quite cheap yet delicious. The set consists of a Fried rice(Super nice) , a bowl of tonkutsu ramen, free flow tea, abt 700￥.

After tat, we continue to explore Shinjuku. We went to the Red Light District and see see. Nothing much to see. Half way, we saw a small shop selling Takobachi ... genuine takobachi...its a MUST MUST TRY !!In the cold winter, its so shiok to be eating the super hot Octopus Balls !!

Day 2 - Tokyo -> Sanrio land/ShiBuYa

Nice day...we went early to Sanrio land..too cute for me though.. i don't realli fancy too sweet stuffs, but once in a lifetime is not bad...hurhur =D

We took the train, 40 mins to Sanrioland, long ride. Before we went in, we bought a expensive sandwich at 7-11, but good thing is can eat inside after the gate. Not like Singapore where there isn't a dustbin found --_--lll
