Home sweet Home
After a week's clandestine affair with tokyo, i'm finally back home. The seminar was great..needless to say getting on a flight there with more leg room, larger cushy seats and supposedly better inflight dining (i guess the starters were more decent..mains were nt that great..alright shan't be picky) Did not get to zzzz well for the outbound flight..at least the excitement helped sustained my entire sunday for some sightseeing.

Missed several sightseeing spots last dec when i was there with an ex lover. decided that this trip gonna be a good oppty for me to finish them. The boss dropped me at the Meiji shrine entrance before he heads to shinjuku for his shopping.. so yea, first stop on a sunday morning was Meiji shrine. The walk through the mini forest was very tranquil. Chanced upon a traditional japanese wedding procession..lovely. Its amazing to learn that the country still values tradition so strongly...made me wonder if traditions back home are that highly regarded. hmmm....

anyhow..next stop..harajuku..caught a few sights of the teens dressed up like japanese animae characters. And of cos..some shopping for me. Managed a pair of purple/brown booties :P i love them! the crepes stall at almost every corner of harajuku was shouting out at me..yea..i had to succumb to temptation. got my very own strawberry ice cream crepe for lunch. eeek eek...sinful..gosh the whip cream was just overflowing..............

had to head back to kayabacho (where the hotel was) to drop some stuffs...way too many things to carry. dropped the booties, fancl cleanser and some other barang before heading out for an onsen treat! missed the oedo onsen the last time as well...although hakone made up for it..still...i had to visit it! haaha..

dinner appt with tricia was set at 6.30pm...that left me with about 2.5hrs to head to and fro the onsen. hmm ok imagine the distance from orchard to nus and back to cityhall for dinner. yea i was that crazy. zipping about with a one day open train pass on the subway.

the entire experience was great. lovely weather, beautiful sunset at odaiba and some quiet time to myself....
