2011 Summer Tokyo Trip 5
Ofcourse I did not forget about Omotesando.
My favorite place in Tokyo,
It was fairly new and clean,
also had a lot of nice brand shops and foods.
The Omotesando mall,
When I first went there, the mall were just built.
It felt really weird visiting that place again after many years..
The ramen on the top floor was pretty good,
the size was fair enough.
Shibuya,
Personally did not like that place too much,
too many people, too noisy, and too dirty.
Realized a lot of young people loved to go there,
but I prefer Omotesando.
That night we found this Indian curry place next to the apartment I rent (Nishi Shinjuku).
The restaurant was hiding inside a business building,
We actually took some time to decide whether to go into this sketchy shop..
It turned out to be fantastic! everything was original.
The little shop was packed with foreigners,
which was also a good sign for foreign cuisine.
Next day went shopping around Tokyo station,
Found this oyster bar in a mall,
tried some uni pasta and oyster.
the pasta was not good; over cooked and lack the flavor of uni,
the oysters were half good and half disgusting; forgot where the bad ones were from...
The best thing about Japan,
You were allow to smoke in cafe.
No other countries I had visited allowed this.
Pop a smoke after eating was the best thing you could do.
This restaurant was next to the Akihabara station.
I was there for shopping that day.
I am pretty into anime manga and games,
although the interest level kinda decreased recently..
I did collect figures and pillows....I stopped after realizing it was a waste of money...
I was a fan of Monster Hunter,
bought those cute little cat dolls..
They were so cheap in Japan..
Went to the American street the same day.
To me it was just a market with a lot of random stuff.
Nothing interested me there so I left after circling around quickly ..
