My long delayed post on Tokyo 2014

After much procrastination did i realized that is has already been a month since i went to Tokyo  =P
It was my second trip there and it came as a surprise for me as i only found out i had to fly to Tokyo 6 days before. Plus, i had to fly on 29 Apr 2014, partly a present for me hahaaa.













Well this time i had to go alone which was rather boring as i had no one to talked during the trip but things was not as bad i've expected. Had the chance to see flowers lining their streets since it was spring in Tokyo and i just miss out on seeing cherry blossom.

Managed to get my hands on my favourite 100yen tuna mayo onigiri and tried a few of their beers.

Was also grateful for Dr Ijima who treated me to a Yakiniku dinner at Gyu-Kaku, a Japanese styled Korean BBQ. Since it was a Eat-All-You-Can dinner, we almost had a heart attack from all meat overload.

Somehow, as i wanted to make things a little more meaningful, i searched high and low trying to recall the location of a street which i took a picture of in 2012. After much walking, i found it. It was actually at Marunouchi, next to Tokyo Station. 
Autumn of 2012

Spring of 2014

As a souvenir for me like it was in 2012, i was awaken by an earthquake at 5.30am, 5 hours before i was to leave Japan. Dr Ijima told me that earthquake this size only happens in Tokyo once every 6 months. Am i really that lucky?? Anyway, thank you Tokyo for the unforgettable experience.
